Campbell going on about this programme championing good mental health: shame no one seemed to tell Piers Morgan that was part of its agenda during his years on it.

It'll be an interesting watch. Definitely as divisive a character as Piers given his background in government though.
I notice they were making a big thing about the Prime Minister not being on GMB for over 4 years and refusing a request for an interview. What I find interesting is that Piers Morgan wrote in the Mail on Sunday that an interview had actually been arranged for him to interview the PM in April for the show and stating that he wouldn’t obviously be doing this interview now.
Guessing the interview was arranged for Piers doing it and no one else?

The problem with getting Boris on to do an interview is that they wouldn't want to ask him about policies, plans, they would just go for the jugular and hope to get the story of getting Boris to resign. The Monday - Wednesday presenters are normally quite aggressive and rude and won't give up on anything. They just have one set of questions which they ask everyone everyday. If they knew the presenters were to be less aggressive and talk about anything than their agenda then I think he might take part. Out of interest when was his last TV interview on any channel and show?
Have to admit especially on the Mon to Weds show they tend just to have one set of questions that they shout at the government minister being interviewed. It used to be ‘did the UK go into lockdown to late’, this week it has still been about Boris and his wallpaper. I’m sorry I want to hear from the vaccine minister about the vaccine roll out and the opening up of travel not old news that have been done to death. Anyone else noticed that since Piers left Susanna is clutching her mug almost none stop throw the show? Almost like a child’s comfort blanket.

Oh I was baffled when they were advertising talking to the vaccine's minister, and the first thing they said they'd be talking about would be Johnson refusing an interview, then they'd talk about the booster dose story. I just watched the headlines and local news and then switched off.
Although they mentioned that he hadn’t done a BBC breakfast or Sky news interview recently, I did rattle me that the show thinks it had a god given right to interview the prime minister. With new tv and news stations starting up all the time ( GB News, Talkradio, Times radio) he can’t do everyone. Probably for the best he does none of them.
Piers would say that by not appearing they were denying the viewers important information, but in reality the reason they were annoyed was because they didn’t get their juicy online clip.
When the ministers did start appearing again with Piers we learned no more information than when they werent appearing as Piers just ranted at them about something that happened months ago or something that isn’t even on that ministers watch.
