BBC Breakfast correspondent Colin Paterson has been reporting live from Glastonbury since the first festival-goers began their journey to the campsite earlier in the week. However, following

the by-election results which saw the Tories lose both seats, BBC viewers questioned the focus on Glastonbury coverage. Liberal Democrat Richard Foord became the MP for Tiverton and Honiton

in the biggest ever majority turnover in a by-election. Meanwhile, the Tories lost out to Labour’s Simon Lightwood in Wakefield.  Throughout the morning, hosts Naga Munchetty and Charlie

Stayt checked in with Colin at the festival site.  Colin arrived at Glastonbury on Wednesday as the first eager festival-goers entered the site. READ MORE: DAN WALKER OPENS UP ON SPEAKING

HIS MIND AFTER LEAVING BBC BREAKFAST The entertainment correspondent spoke to Glastonbury fans as well as checking out some of the more unusual festival acts.  Colin visited the High Society

trapeze act and witnessed a 74-year-old perform the skilled artwork.  However, BBC Breakfast viewers tuning in hoping to gain an insight into the by-elections were left disappointed by the

Glastonbury segments.  @simon_toast tweeted: “Huge political stories this morning and BBC breakfast just going on about juggling and trapeze artists.” @patrickreeve questioned:

“@BBCBreakfast Why the obsession with Glastonbury? #BBCBreakfast.” “@BBCNews I've got limited time this morning, turned on BBC breakfast for news on the by-elections and 20 mins gone

and nothing, they have been talking about Glastonbury mostly,” @BobFunkhouse2 quipped. Glastonbury was cancelled in both 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.  After a three-year

wait, festival-goers will get the chance to see headliners Billie Eilish, Sir Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar.
