Thérèse Coffey dramatically walks out of GMB interview

She accused Piers Morgan of being insulting for repeating her own words on the Covid mortality rate.

Piers Morgan has hit out at the “extraordinary arrogance” of Thérèse Coffey after she abruptly terminated an interview on Good Morning Britain.

The cabinet minister faced some difficult questions as the UK’s Covid-19 death rate continues to increase at a dramatic pace.

Earlier that morning she had attracted criticism for reductive responses on the rapid spread of the disease, saying “the best way to tackle this virus is to avoid contracting it in the first place”.

But it looked like her patients had frayed by the time she faced up to Morgan and Susanna Reid on GMB, with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions disconnecting her camera from the interview.

Morgan described the move as being extraordinarily arrogant, while others pointed to her reluctance to explain her own comments.

@theresecoffey : We've got the world's worst Covid death rate because of Aging Population and Obesity@piersmorgan : So we're too old and too fat?

Therese Coffey: That's incredibly insulting

Piers M: YOU SAID IT

Therese C:….I have to go now *Disconnects*

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.
