Why is it that those celebrities most vocal in lecturing others about ‘the rules’ are the first to break them? British news anchor Piers Morgan has been slammed as a total hypocrite after being caught not wearing a face mask in public over the weekend, despite lecturing everyone else for months about the need to wear a mask. Morgan was pictured getting into a cab in London without a mask on, prompting him to admit he was being an idiot: Morgan claimed that he put the mask on after the picture was taken, but it was too late, given that...

A RETIRED couple wiped out an entire village's internet every day for 18 months by turning on their second-hand TV to watch Piers Morgan. Alun and Elaine Rees snapped up the £30 16" Bush set three years ago on Facebook so their grandchildren could watch DVD films. But the retired couple had no idea the flatscreen TV was cutting the broadband signal for everybody in the tiny village of Aberhosan, Powys, Mid Wales. Puzzled locals in the 400-strong village spent a year-and-a-half complaining to Openreach about the dreadful signal which cut out like clockwork every day. Engineers replaced large sections...

For years it’s seemed like Trump’s famous line about how he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose any votes has been getting truer. When he first said it during the campaign it was a half-joke about the devout loyalty of his supporters. It’s not really a joke anymore. He actually could shoot someone, I think, and count on his hardcore base to instantly start arguing that it was justifiable homicide, whatever the circumstances. There’s literally nothing he could do to alienate them. Not a thing.Or so I thought. But then I read this and it rocked...

Piers Morgan challenged President Donald Trump in an open letter published to the Daily Mail to show his solidarity with protesters by publicly taking a knee. # Speaking of NFL player Colin Kaepernick’s now-infamous 2016 demonstration, Morgan cited it as evidence that Trump has been wrong from the beginning. “The cold hard truth for the President is that Kaepernick’s been shown by George Floyd’s murder to be on the right side of history,” Morgan wrote, “and Trump’s increasingly showing himself to be on the wrong side.” There are indications that the POTUS is planning to make some sort of concrete...

There was a barbecue in the town of Griffith, Indiana yesterday. It was possibly the most unusual and unexpected barbecue in US history. More than 400 people gathered in Central Park to protest about the murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers. They held banners with slogans like 'BLACK LIVES MATTER', 'END RACISM', 'COLOR SHOULD BE CELEBRATED', 'SERVE AND PROTECT' and even 'DEFUND THE POLICE AND DEFEND THE PEOPLE' and they kept up a steady stream of 'No lives matter until black lives matter!' and 'I can't breathe!' chanting.

A year ago, I interviewed President Trump in the Churchill War Rooms in London. To mark the occasion, I presented him with a replica black Lock & Co hat of the type Churchill loved to wear. Trump was delighted, and immediately tried the hat on. Then he said perhaps the only self-deprecating remark he's ever uttered: 'I think Winston looked much better in it..'

Piers Morgan said he is horrified by how his “friend” President Trump is handling the coronavirus crisis. The British media personality said Trump has turned his daily briefings on the pandemic into a partisan affair, which Morgan argued shows Trump is more concerned with winning November’s election than saving lives. "I've known him a long time. I consider him to be a friend, but I've been watching these daily briefings with mounting horror, frankly, because this is not what the president should be doing. He won't want me saying this, but I'm gonna say it anyway," Morgan told CNN’s Reliable...

Here's what you should know ahead of Saturday's competition. Didn't a global pageant just happen? Yes. But that was Miss Universe, a competitor pageant that was founded years after Miss World by a swimsuit company (hence the swimsuit competition). Miss World is one of the four major global beauty pageants, and the oldest, the organization says, at almost 70 years old. Miss World delegates from 111 countries spend a month in London competing in events like "Sport," "Talent" and "Beauty with a Purpose" to secure their spot in the televised finale. Miss Universe lasts only a few days.

Like the Democrats when Hillary ran, Remainers enlisted the very vocal support of Hollywood luvvies to fight their cause. Hollywood actors Hugh Grant and Steve Coogan led the way, backed up by the likes of grime artist Stormzy and pop singer Lily Allen. Grant, who seemed to forget that playing a fictitious Prime Minister in Love Actually is not a qualification to be a real politician, spent weeks marching around ordering people not to vote for Johnson or the Conservatives because they had the audacity to want to act on the democratic will of the people. Hugh Grant looks glum...

British television host Piers Morgan earlier this week blasted a climate activism leader as a hypocrite for not reducing her "own carbon footprint" while telling others to do so. The "Good Morning Britain" host targeted Skeena Rathor, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion — a radical, left-wing outfit that's been staging demonstrations in the U.K. to force attention on climate change. What was said during the segment? Morgan began by asking Rathor how she got to the studio — to which she replied that the station sent a car to pick her up. "Do you have a TV at home?" Morgan pressed.

The controversial television host, who revealed earlier today that he’ll be debating whether or not he should be fired from his position on tomorrow’s show, has asked his 6.8million Twitter fanbase to show their support by adding their signatures to a Change.org appeal. ‘BREAKING: There is now a rival petition to save me on @GMB,’ Piers wrote. ‘Thank you Margaret Lowry! Please sign it if you wish to repel the snivelling snowflakes & keep me in my job.’ In another post, he added: ‘Spread the word, my people… Sign, RT, and save me as your voice against the shriekingly illiberal...

Greta, 16, shed tears on Monday during a passionate speech at the UN Climate Summit, as she slammed world leaders for "stealing my childhood". The youngster has been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, selective mutism and OCD. During a debate on Good Morning Britain, Piers said he felt "uncomfortable" during her speech, knowing she has come from a "damaged background which should not be ignored". But co-host Susanna said she found it difficult listening to Piers having a go at her. She said: "I find it very uncomfortable you criticising her. I think describing her as 'unstable' it is very unfair."...

My favorite newspaper correction was published in the UK’s Times several years ago. ‘Is The Pope a Catholic?’ has been a long-used rhetorical question to infer a statement of the bleeding obvious. Yet the Times inadvertently managed to cast doubt over this apparently incontrovertible fact in a reference to Pope John Paul II, and had to print the following comical clarification: ‘Karol Wojtyla was referred to in Saturday’s Credo column as the “the first non-Catholic pope for 450 years.” This should, of course, have read “non-Italian”.’ As a former newspaper editor myself, these sort of excruciatingly embarrassing mea culpas make...

In a piece for the Daily Mail on Thursday, British journalist Piers Morgan explained, quite thoroughly, why he thinks Trump is going to win the 2020 election. And not just win it, but win it easily. “When Trump launched his 2020 campaign on Tuesday night in Orlando, Florida, I didn't sense I was watching a guy who's going to lose. In fact, I got the complete opposite feeling,” Morgan wrote. “Trump exuded the confident all-conquering swagger of someone who defied all polls and logic last time, and fully intends to do so again.” He's spent two-and-a-half years bombarding Americans...

Donald Trump has declared he wants the NHS to be on the table in any US-UK trade deal and refused to meet the “negative” Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, who pledged to oppose US corporations taking over the health service with every breath in his body. On the second day of his state visit, during which he has been hosted by the Queen and Theresa May, the US president set out his ambitions for a “phenomenal” post-Brexit trade deal with the UK. But following a cross-party backlash, the president later appeared to row back on his comments. In an interview with...

After Big Ben clocked himself at London’s finish, his day only got worse. Dressed as Big Ben, London marathoner Lukas Bates hoped to break a record for running as the famed clock. But he found time was not on his side at the finish. His costume was too large to fit under the scaffolding of the finis, and bending down to try to fit under didn’t really help, either. His 3:54:21 finish was not enough to beat the standing record for running dressed as a landmark—3:34:34—and videos of him trying to get his costume across the line went viral. And...

FULL TITLEPIERS MORGAN: The Russia collusion hoax was a disgraceful fake news witch-hunt that shames all of Trump’s deranged enemies in the media, the FBI and Hollywood and has probably ensured their worst nightmare - his re-election. So it was all fake news… The entire two-year Russia collusion frenzy was based on an absolute falsehood that Donald Trump and his team had colluded with Russians to fix the 2016 election. It’s hard to imagine a worse thing to say about someone than that they betrayed their country, that they were traitors to their own people. Yet that was the charge...

Former CNN host and current DailyMail.com editor at large Piers Morgan weighed in on the Jussie Smollett case while appearing Thursday on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” attributing what's happened to "Trump derangement syndrome" and "victimhood culture." “Well it was the perfect storm, wasn’t it?” Morgan told Carlson. “This is where the ‘victimhood culture’ that you so brilliantly articulated there meets Trump derangement syndrome, this disease which has afflicted so many particularly liberal celebrities.”

A controversial academic today risked to wrath of Britain's veterans and their families after calling the RAF airmen who bombed Nazi Germany war criminals. Dr Kehinde Andrews, a professor of black studies at Birmingham City University, said the decision to build tributes like the Bomber Command Memorial desecrated with white paint yesterday was like 'justifying terrorism'. He said: ‘We are talking about a war crime. I think it is a tragedy they died, but we don’t need a statue.’ His extraordinary statements came on ITV's Good Morning Britain today where host Piers Morgan asked him: 'Why do you see everything...

Full title: You’ve hired me before, Mr President, so hire me again. I’m the one person whose reputation can’t be tarnished by becoming your Chief of Staff and I’m perfectly qualified for the job! Dear Mr President, I wish to formally apply to be your new Chief of Staff.You might not immediately recognize what qualities I have for such a massive job in your administration, especially following a hugely respected war hero like General John Kelly.But the key thing is to have someone at your side that understands you, has known you a long time, likes you and commands your...
