Piers Morgan storms off set after being called out by Alex, the GMB weatherman, on his behaviour

[chomalungma]

And his obsession with Meghan Markle.

Good. Piers Morgan is obsessed with her. And Alex called it right.

Well cos I'm nosey I turned on itv they went over to Lorraine apparently he will be missed and was controversial etc said Lorraine and Susanna. Ranvir looked not arsed

Ranvir doesn't seem herself IMO. Bit nervous.

I totally disagree that he is bold and challenges, its not about whether on occasion he may say what many people are thinking it is the fact the he bullies and shouts over guests constantly. Whether people like Matt Hancock or not I absolutely don't blame him for not going on there all that time, there was no point and still isn't. PM just shouts over him for 90% of the interview. What is the point in having guests, it was just Piers saying what he thought the whole time with Suzanna fawning over him looking at him as if he's her hero the whole time.

I am irrationally angry about it, I have no idea why lol. I really hope Suzanne has chance to prove what she's really like without him there, as annoyed as she has made me I feel it is a product of Piers's constant bad behavior.

Probably was called in last minute I can't imagine GMB was a happy place when she walked in! Paul Burrel gives me the creeps what would Diana say !

For anyone who thinks he just challenges... here's his tweets about MM.
He was totally obsessed with her. Seriously creepy. He was a scorned man.

Really quite worrying.

He may well be controversial but many broadcasters van be controversial without bullying. Alex proved that yesterday. He has spoken on GMB several times and has been brilliant, in particular about the knife crime issue. He 100% would challenge guests but would be calm about it.

No, she made a point of saying at the start that she was going to be there anyway today so it's all a bit strange. Maybe she's having to do more interviewing/speaking than she was expecting to today.

Twelly, if PM was behaving in this way to, for instance, a female worker in any public facing job, he'd have been in receipt of a Restraining Order, community service, referral for psychiatric reports and the threat of a prison sentence as a persistent offender. Stop defending the indefensible. You just look stupid.

@twelly

I don't agree with a lot of what Piers Morgan says but listening to the row he had and the points he made he expressed an opinion, I agree that in this case it sounded personal but I do not believe he was racist or misogynistic. He is bold and challenges, we need people who do this in the media, he often speaks what people at home are thinking.

@twelly PM does NOT speak about what I am thinking. He is a white, privileged male who cannot bear any other viewpoint than his own and is a misogynist bully.

Yeah all these white people. something needs to be done about them. And those males too!

Should have been sacked for storming off the set alone. Bangs on about free speech but can't stand being challenged on his opinions.

Using your bully pulpit to shout down other people is not 'bold and challenging' - Morgan is an extremely powerful figure with huge privilege and reach.

Well, some of them certainly. The outdated attitudes which are dominating the UK, especially England, are holding the country back.

He can't handle being challenged. His usual tactic is to shout over someone so they can't make their point.

Alex really touched a nerve and as a narcissist who can't admit he's wrong, he resorted to what a child would do; storm off and take his rattle with him.

Yes.
He couldn't be seen to bully and harangue one of his colleagues like he normally does with anyone he interviews, he had to let Alex have a say.
And like any bully, he hated having the tables turned on him. He barely lasted two minutes. Coward.

The Andrew Neil channel has been spoken about on other threads so if he does go there it will be perfect all the shouty men together !

GB News will be the worst of the worst, especially if he joins. If so it should be called MegHateTV.
Boris's sister is lined up, as is bigoted Julia Hartley Spewer Brewer.

I do wonder if PM has gone one step too far for even them.

How do you watch GB News? (Asking for a friend)

Tell your friend it hasn't started yet soon though! I looked it up it sounds god awful.

@Mrsjayy

I'll tell them. I think they will want to watch at least a bit just out of curiosity...

Sounds like fun. I love the smell of seething gammon in the morning ☕

I miss This Week with Andrew Neil. It was a brilliant programme. The best years were when Diane Abbott and Michael Portillo co-hosted.
At the moment Andrew Neil is doing a brilliant job questioning the SNP's governance of Scotland.

That was a good show

I think your friend is very wise! 😂🤣

After all, how can we say how awful it is without having a quick look?!
