    Unfortunately they don't for another 4 years. And then everything will be forgotten, or not represented.

    I think he's an inflammatory bellend at the worst of times, but I do like his new technique of simply repeating politicians' words to them and them subsequently getting wound up. Great value.

    She didn’t let him show her up and neither did none of her other useless and incompetent colleagues. Piers Morgan simply gave them enough rope and they duly hung themselves. They were simply presented with examples of their own incompetencies and lies

    Brilliant interview, so different from the fawning BBC. Incredibly rude of her,when confronted with her own words.
    What was frightening, which I have not seen before, was Matt Hancock's arrogant speech from 24 January 2020 to Parliament. Saying how prepared he and the country was to deal with the first Pandemic in a 100 years.

    I'm trying not to enjoy what he does as I know he's just populist trash but.........
    I do like the so predictable formula they have of Susanna Reid softening them up, letting them think they've got away with it, while Morgan looks bored, then he strikes at the jugular and they always seem surprised and unprepared, like they don't seem to see what is totally predictable coming.

    To be fair, His ‘’skill’ is his incessant ramming their own words down their throats. The material he uses is provided courtesy of themselves.

    Yes, very remiss of me to not mention his colleague’s role in these interviews.

    She actually came out with this classic on Sky news later: Therese Coffey - "The best way to tackle this virus is to avoid contracting it in the first place." Seems she has a degree in stating the obvious amongst her limited talents

    And yet, the Tories are still ahead in the polls.

    But Corbyn.

    3 years and about 6 weeks until the start of the next GE campaign - unless it is changed first.

    Just here to remind people that Theresa Coffey is *only* 49. Six years younger than Liz Hurley.

    I liked her in her leather suit on Bedazzled. I'd love to dazzle her vagazil.

    Nice media summary of Therese Coffey's appearance:

    "Thérèse Coffey is normally a glass half-full kind of minister. Sent out to do the media round on Monday morning, she even managed to claim to LBC’s Nick Ferrari that getting just 1,868 young people – out of a targeted 120,000 – starting roles on the government’s kickstarter scheme had “actually been a huge success”. I hate to think what a massive failure might look like.

    But even the work and pensions secretary struggled when she came up against Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid on ITV’s Good Morning Britain. Having first delivered the classic line that “the best way to tackle this virus is to avoid contracting it in the first place” – no **** – Coffey made the elementary error of giving a direct answer to a direct question.

    Other ministers have gone to great lengths to appear totally mystified and avoid saying why the UK has the highest coronavirus death rate in the world, but Coffey just jumped straight in. It was because we had an ageing population and an obesity crisis. So it was basically our own fault and we had it coming. We were living far too long and eating far too much. If only we had all died younger or half-starved to death, then all of this could have been avoided. The humanity in her response was touching.

    Morgan couldn’t believe his luck. So what you’re saying, he observed, was that we Brits were basically too old and too fat. Whereupon the minister completely lost it and accused Morgan of being insulting for repeating back what she had just said. Only Coffey wouldn’t have it. Apparently there was no link between an ageing population and people getting old, and a population getting obese and being fat. Or maybe she was just irritated with herself for failing to mention a succession of failures in government policy that had considerably boosted the mortality rate."

    Another one of Clown Johnson's inner ministerial circus, clueless.
