Morgan: The country needs leadership over Xmas, not wishy-washy language

"Everyone who is watching is going, 'what do you want us to do?'"

Piers Morgan has called on the government to provide “firm leadership” over the Christmas period rather than the “wishy-washy language” currently in use.

Grilling Stephen Barclay on today’s Good Morning Britain the presenter criticised the confusion being caused ahead of one of the most crucial periods of the year.

Scientists have warned that the easing of coronavirus restrictions over the festive period will cause a spike in infections, with David Nabarro, a World Health Organisation (WHO) special envoy working on Covid-19, saying the price of such a relaxation “could well be very high”.

Urging people to think carefully about their plans, he told Times Radio: “Just ask yourself, is there any way in which you can perhaps not have the family get-togethers this year?

“It’s much better not to do it when there’s this kind of virus about.”

Professor Stephen Reicher, of the University of St Andrews, added: “Right now we are heading towards disaster.

“Given high levels of infection across the country and the increasing levels in some areas (such as London) it is inevitable that if we all do choose to meet up over Christmas then we will pay the price in the new year.”

Putting the concerns to Barclay, Morgan took aim at the government’s confused messaging, saying: “Everyone who is watching is going, ‘what do you want us to do?’

“What they want is firm leadership, not this wishy-washy language which means ‘yes go and do it’ but also ‘don’t do it'”.

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.
