Piers Morgan has told Boris Johnson 'to go' after what he labelled as an 'absolute shambles'.
On Saturday morning, papers were full of reports that the Prime Minister was going to put England into lockdown for the second time this year, despite claims in recent weeks that he wasn't wanting to take such a drastic course of action.
Just before 7pm on Saturday, the PM addressed the nation in a live briefing, hours after it was first due to take place, to confirm the lockdown speculation was true and the country will be subject to tough restrictions for a four week period from November 5 to December 2.
The chaos surrounding the briefing, which forced the cancellation of Little Mix's talent show The Search and left Strictly fans concerned, had many people shaking their heads, least so Good Morning Britain host Piers.
The outspoken presenter has taken aim at Johnson and his Government on regular occasions since the coronavirus outbreak and, ahead of his much hyped GMB return, took to Twitter to rant: "Boris Johnson has to go. Britain can't endure any more of his rudderless leadership. U-turn after U-turn, mixed message after mixed message, failure after failure.
"He's been an absolute shambles in this pandemic & we desperately need a PM we can trust & who knows how to lead."
And then reacting to the lockdown announcement, Piers added: "You cannot look at the latest incredibly worrying UK covid charts & not conclude a new national lockdown is the only course of action to try to suppress the 2nd wave of this virus & a hideous new death toll. Unless you're a Covidiot."
Taking aim at the Prime Minister once again on Sunday morning, Piers tweeted: "How many people will die because Boris Johnson dithered & delayed again? Aided & abetted by all the ill-informed, complacent & deluded Covidiots screaming ‘NO LOCKDOWN!!!’"
