Labour Turn on Piers Morgan

As one of their most ardent cheerleaders in government and close personal friend of Gordon Brown, Piers Morgan might have thought he would be safe with his old red chums.

Tory Therese Coffey landed the CNN star in a whole host of trouble on Newsnight last night:

“I just hope that the police take the evidence and go with it and if Mr Morgan wants to come back to the UK and help them with their inquiries, and I don’t mean being arrested in any way, I’m sure he can add more light… I think it would help everybody, including himself and this investigation, if he was able to say more about why he wrote what he did in 2006.”

And now with this morning’s intervention from Labour’s Deputy Leader Harriet Harman Morgan’s denials are looking even weaker:

“[Morgan] said he heard a heartbreaking phone message which clearly gives rise to the assumption that he’d heard a tape recorded message. It’s not good enough fro him to say I’ve always complied with the law and the press complaints commission. He’s got to answer now we’ve got this allegation from Heather Mills.”

Piers is running out of friends fast…

        Isn’t that how most M.P.’s justified their enormous troughing – ‘it was within the rules’?

        And, incidentally, Harriet herself didn’t ‘comply with the law’ when she flounced off from the scene of an accident she caused?

        Piers is a twat but it still turns my stomach to hear people like Harperson, a key figure in a government which ruined our country, flooded it with immigrants for party political gain, lied about every subject, sold our gold, wrecked the economy gave our powers to the EU, started wars which involved the deaths of thousands, debased parliament and in many cases ripped us off through the expenses system – to hear them getting so sanctimonious about journalists. Why can’t we have an inquiry into the new labour reign of terror and what lessons we can learn from it?

      Guido you have turned all Statist, Heard you on BBC LIVE 5 This morning. You are calling for the Execution of Sally Clarke, and the Support of Expert Witness Roy Meadows.

        Guido, like all of us, knows that whether this is debated or not the law will not change. It isn’t even a campaign to change the law.

        It’s a campaign to highlight the fact that we can’t change the law, even if the majority of the country wants to and even if we can convince our politicians to vote in favour. It’s about political disconnect and sovereignty and also trying to prove that this blog has real power, (which in most areas it probably doesn’t).

        The real campaign should be the one to release us from the EU, but that would not strike such a chord with the wider public as this issue. Apparently there is a petition for this too, sitting at around 93,000 votes.

          Nicky ‘Neil Kinnock is my friend’ Campbell on Radio 5 Labour this morning: ‘No-one wants to leave the EU’ (delivered in tone of condescending incredulity).

          No doubt he was automatically spouting the BBC’s default position in this matter. It explains why this subject is NEVER EVER properly debated on the BBC. ‘We laugh at the proles while we take your licence fee and tell you what to think.’

    Mr I Grumble says:

    We should start up a “Piers Morgan” appreciation society.

    “Anyone who counts themselves as a friend of Gordon Broon must be the biggest arse-licker on the planet or mentally ill. Creeping to Broon didn’t do J K Rowling or David Tennant any good, did it?

    Morgan is slime, and the sooner he’s banged up in clink up the better. Don’t drop the soap in the showers, Piers!”
