7 times Piers Morgan was everyone’s unlikeliest hero after Boris Johnson bans ministers from appearing on Good Morning Britain
Piers Morgan has been among the most vocal critics of the government’s Covid-19 strategy and he was rewarded for his efforts today, he says, by Boris Johnson banning all ministers from appearing on Good Morning Britain.
The UK Govt has banned any ministers from appearing on @GMB after a series of them made complete fools of themselves in the face of basic & important questions.
This is a pathetic & cowardly response to THEIR shameful incompetence.

Lots of people have found themselves applauding Morgan’s efforts to hold the government to account, and it can be a slightly confusing feeling, especially if you’ve not been Morgan’s biggest fan up until this point.
Here are 7 times the Good Morning Britain man was everyone’s unlikeliest hero. Well, maybe not everyone, but quite a lot …

Look, I never thought I’d say this either, but @piersmorgan is doing what every broadcaster ought to at this time – holding the government’s feet to the fire over their botched pandemic strategy. pic.twitter.com/RPQOjTXVj7

Yes. Why is the UK heading to be the 2nd highest death toll in the world? https://t.co/DkuxTZfupl

Hi Paul,
You're a repulsive, racist, far-right, Muslim-hating, conspiracy theorist imbecile who works for a website that says Sandy Hook was invented.
Given all this, I am relaxed about your dislike for me. In fact, I crave your disapproval. Now f*ck off. https://t.co/8lLIpsgbwu— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 26, 2020
He had this message for his detractors.
To all those howling abuse at me for accurately reporting the Govt #coronavirus testing numbers, I’m reminded of @benshapiro‘s quote: ‘Facts don’t care about your feelings.’

Oh, and this happened.

Everyone’s making sacrifices, right? We’re with @jamiesont.
Slipping into this strange parallel universe where Piers Morgan talks sense is beyond weird isn’t it https://t.co/lqf7r9tn9J

And this chap.
I’m not sure I’m enjoying @piersmorgan being popular. It just doesn’t seem right. He’s been excellent, though, throughout this, holding the government to account and demanding action and answers. Well played, Tubs. https://t.co/uhdzRAx7Vo
