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.
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.
