Whatever you think about the wokery, and I am not an apologist for him, it was just plain inappropriate to raise it.
It was his first appearance on a National News Channel since the news of the recruitment crisis broke. He is the Chief of the Air Staff, what on earth did he expect? He had no right whatsover to be angry, he should have been ready for the questions and briefed accordingly. Inappropriate? Her ego? Give it a rest! She is a professional journalist and was doing her job. He came across as crashingly unprofessional, unprepared and unable to think on his feet. He is lucky that she didn't choose to quiz him on the Red Arrows debacle!
