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

And his obsession with Meghan Markle.

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

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.
This Week was really good. It was politics but it was lighthearted and laid back but still informative.

I don't care for Morgan's bull-in-a-china-shop mentality and it's all about him.

I don't think Andrew Neil would want him on his news channel - PM is a 'celebrity' first and journo second. No good for honest news coverage.

I’ve got a lovely story in my mind. It goes like this.
AN: Piers, do you fancy joining my edgy new current affairs programme for shed loads of money?
PM: Sounds great! But I’m under contract to ITV and it would cost a lot to buy me out.
AN: How about you arrange to get sacked in a blaze of publicity?
PM: Brilliant idea! Win win!
.....
PM: Hi Andrew, I’ve done what we agreed. Now how about that juicy contract?
AN: New phone who dis?
(You thought I didn’t know about that time you stole my story/wife/dog/pint did you Piers?)

Until I see the press release from
GB TV then that’s the story I’m clinging to.

Interested in this thread?

It looked like a publicity stunt to me to keep PM current (as we see on here!)
He’ll be rearing his head somewhere new soon.

Mrsjayy · 10/03/2021 13:56

"Who dis" 😂

ilovechocolate07 · 10/03/2021 17:18

Purposefully avoided GMB because of him. I'd rather watch nothing when the BBC news is too much doom and gloom.

PIPSUE · 10/03/2021 17:32

I think Piers should have done the interview instead of her best friend. She came to Britain with an Agenda and thinks she has achieved it. Let's wait and see.

Ouenta · 10/03/2021 17:35

That was also unbelievable! She looked totally outraged at his comments. Rightly so!

NellaGella · 10/03/2021 17:36

And that was not all!! Today things got even worse! 😱 Watch for yourself gestyy.com/eyw3Gw
And then, he got firedGrin

Silverthorny · 10/03/2021 17:37

I dunno, quite like that he offers another viewpoint. I like that Susannah balances him out. There is fault in both sides with this, and I don’t want Meg/Harry to come out on top - nor the Royal Family.

Wannabangbang · 10/03/2021 17:42

I am the same silverthorny both meghan/harry and the royals need to both be held accountable. The royals for their blatant racism and meghan/harry for trying to gain fame from selling stories to the media they so very hate. Going on a talk show was a bad move.
And Piers is only saying what half of us think and Alex the other. I agree Susanna and Piers worked very well together and made breakfast tv watchable for the first time in years. Now it will be a dull shell of show.

earnshaw47 · 10/03/2021 17:46

agree with Piers 100%

Dnaltocs · 10/03/2021 17:48

Does anyone believe what Mrs Harry says?

Bluehues · 10/03/2021 17:52

Bette Midler’s tweet about him is spot on

Kempyjo · 10/03/2021 17:52

You know what I actually like the bloke he says what everyone else wants to but are to scared incase they get backlash.

NeverDropYourMoonCup · 10/03/2021 17:54

@Mrsjayy

Tell your friend it hasn't started yet soon though! I looked it up it sounds god awful.
It's pretty much LBC-TV by the sounds of it.

If he hasn't already made his way to the new trough, have ITV let Nick Ferrari out of whatever cave he's muttering around in yet? They won't want the viewing figures to drop that much.

Silverthorny · 10/03/2021 17:55

@Wannabangbang yep! I think this really highlights to me how people always identify themselves as victims. DD had a bullying week at school - and she knows very well how to identify herself as a victim, but not how to identify herself as a bully. I think as humans, we are capable of both.

@NellaGella

Just to let you know, your link came up with something dodgy, and my malware protection kicked in!

Personally I'd prefer a dull shell of a show than someone who bullies and shouts at everyone who comes on that he doesn't like.

NeverDropYourMoonCup · 10/03/2021 17:56

@earnshaw47

agree with Piers 100%
What, that a young, attractive woman owes him her time, attention and probably body because he wants it and can use his position to make her life so much more difficult if she doesn't fuck him?

He very rarely says what I want him to say!

Please get rid of Charlotte, she adds nothing to the show just sits there like a simpering stuffed dummy in her mini skirts.

MrsMackesy · 10/03/2021 17:59

PM came across as a bitter and obsessed bully. Alex did the right thing but it should have come from Susanna.

I also think there's an element of him trying to win favour back with the alt-right types, after his Covid stance, before announcing his next career move.

If he was announced a month ago as joining GB News the Right would have lamented it. Now he can be announced as an anti-woke, anti-Meghan, pro-freedom of speech, Royalist crusader (free speech as long as you agree with him that is).

Watch him drop his pro-lockdown/anti-government Covid stance now and go firmly back down the rabbit hole of the anti-work/anti-anything liberal or left, anti-vegan sausage rolls as he tries to transition back into the alt-right poster boy in time for his inevitable GB News show.

I don't care what someone's politics are, but he's such a twerp.

Just like Susanna, sitting there in her wonderbra blinking like a child's doll
