BBC viewers were left stunned when Piers Morgan took aim at former Prime Minister Boris Johnson during the latest Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg. Morgan ranted, "It was a complete disgrace. The idea that Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock are off making millions of pounds off the back of this catastrophic failure of leadership, in this crucial moment for our country, I find sickening."
The broadcaster later branded the handling of the 2020 pandemic as 'shameful' and asked Lord Bethell, who was a minister at the time, for his opinion. Lord Bethell replied, "I agree, our response was slowed by the struggle we had to get Downing Street to focus…Boris Johnson found it difficult to stick to decisions."
The reaction to Morgan's bold statement was immediate. Viewers quickly took to Twitter to share their thoughts. One person wrote, "Not a fan of Piers Morgan but agree with everything he said on Laura Kuenssberg this morning and he has the guts to say what he feels." Another added, "Isn't it a bit strange agreeing with Piers Morgan." A third penned, "Well said @piersmorgan thanks for saying what many people without a voice feel."
The discussion around Morgan's statement was overshadowed by concerns about his health. His family recently revealed that they are worried about him, claiming he hasn't been looking after himself. On X, Morgan addressed suspicions that he has a mild form of Covid-19, as a new variant has led to rising cases. He wrote, "Incidentally, fwiw, my LA doc said he’s recently had 100s of people in with similar symptoms & most tested positive for Covid several weeks before. The new strains seem to be mildish on infection but spark lingering crap for weeks afterwards."
Morgan concluded by apologizing to concerned viewers who thought he had been looking less than [100], "Apologies if my head caused more offence than usual."
It's clear that the debate around Morgan's statement will continue, but it's also clear that he is willing to push the boundaries and challenge those in power. His willingness to speak out and tell it like it is has resonated with viewers and left many in agreement with the former Prime Minister.
