Piers Morgan today said he woke up to “howling abuse” for slating Greggs’ new vegan sausage roll.

The Good Morning Britain presenter claimed vegans were “all hangry” after he came under fire for saying “nobody was waiting for a vegan bloody sausage, you PC-ravaged clowns.”

He also ranted that “everyone using social media wants attention” and said “vegans only care about big animals. You all eat bread, yet billions of insects get brutally murdered during its production.”

Mr Morgan also took aim at McDonald’s after they introduced a new vegetarian wrap, saying “it's supposed to be a HAPPY meal.”

He then claimed to have ordered a "large sausage roll on room service" and said "the vegan resistance starts here."

Chris Williamson MP even weighed into the debate, telling Mr Morgan that "veganism is the future" and helped to prevent "climate catastrophe."

Both Greggs and McDonald’s responded to the die-hard carnivore, prompting congratulations from meat-free social media users.

Many Twitter users questioned why Mr Morgan was "so obsessed with a sausage roll" and asked "don't you have a job / life?"
