Piers Morgan tore apart Gavin Williamson over his pandemic record and it’s quite the watch

John Plunkett. Updated January 21st, 2021

Another cabinet minister was on Good Morning Britain today and it can surely be only a matter of time before they stop turning up again.

Because so-called education secretary Gavin Williamson may have fared even less well than health secretary Matt Hancock did last week.

It’s a close-run thing but, well, you decide..

Here’s Williamson today.

Gavin Williamson is annihilated by @piersmorgan with a “charge sheet” of failures & asked “why are you still education Secretary, why have you not resigned”

And this was Hancock last week just in case you missed it (or you want to watch it again).

Matt Hancock – I'm really glad that we can send out free school meals when schools are out.

Piers Morgan – If you're that glad… why did you vote against giving free school meals?#GMB pic.twitter.com/pGJxWYi0EX

You can almost feel s … no, of course not.

And here are just a few of the things people were saying about this latest round of Piers Morgan v The Government.

The most devastating skewering yet. pic.twitter.com/CZP6HJ2rsB

Watching Gavin Williamson on #GMB refusing to not only take responsibility for his ineptitude but also to answer a straight question, it's hard to remember a worse British cabinet in history. It would be funny if it wasn't so deadly. Shocking stuff. @piersmorgan

🔥🔥🔥🔥@piersmorgan to Williamson “you have failed our kids! Why haven’t you resigned.” A nation cheers Morgan on.

"Why are you still Education Secretary, why haven't you resigned?"

At a time of crisis, the one thing you want from those in key positions is clarity of information and a reason to have faith. What Gavin Williamson just produced to @piersmorgan and @susannareid100 was excruciating evidence as to why there is zero faith in this government.

A year ago I didn't think I'd be saying that @piersmorgan speaks for the nation but he does here.

If @GavinWilliamson had any shame he'd have resigned months ago, like I said on @GMB after the A Level and GCSE results fiasco when Piers asked me. https://t.co/mAaBeJAJ8z

Gavin Williamson must have known this would happen, but still went on. I can’t quite decide if it’s courage or stupidity https://t.co/xFqWWjZdDS

In short, this.

Gavin Williamson:

◾️U-turns on opening schools
◾️A level fiasco
◾️Legal action re school closures
◾️Mass testing rejected by regulator
◾️Refused cheap broadband for kids
▪️Sent kids to school for 1 day to infect each other

CONCLUSION:
No need to resign pic.twitter.com/wIIaWPjE12

And this.

The gulf between the question asked and the answer offered is never wider than it is with Gavin Williamson. In his defence, it does seem to be the second most important qualification for a seat in Johnson’s Cabinet.
After sycophancy.
