Government ministers “banned from appearing on GMB” – Morgan

Piers Morgan has been credited for being one of the few journalists to hold ministers to account during the coronavirus crisis.

Government ministers are being told not appear on ITV’s Good Morning Britain following a series of gruelling interviews.  

Host Piers Morgan has become renowned for his high octane interviews during the coronavirus crisis, with several MPs put to task over their handling of the outbreak.

And now it appears that the government has told its ministers to stay away in order to prevent further blushes.

Posting on Twitter, Morgan alleged:

“The UK govt has banned any ministers from appearing on @GMB after a series of them made complete fools of themselves in the face of basic and important questions.

“This is a pathetic and cowardly response to THEIR shameful incompetence.”

Government’s response makes Trump look logical

Earlier, he blasted Boris Johnson’s assertion that his government’s coronavirus strategy had been a “success” calling it “scandalous” and “utter bullsh*t”.

He also said Johnson’s handling had of the outbreak made US president Donald Trump look “logical”.

In a Daily Mail column, Morgan wrote: “We were scandalously slow and complacent in our response to its outbreak.

“We were scandalously under-prepared for it, particularly when it came to stock-piling Personal Protection Equipment for health workers and securing enough coronavirus tests as soon as the severity of the crisis became clear.

“Scandalously late”

“We were scandalously late to order a lockdown. We were scandalously complicit in sending infected elderly hospital patients back to care homes without testing them. And we’ve been scandalously inconsistent in performing policy U-turn after policy U-turn.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
