Piers Morgan slams Tories as Good Morning Britain goes 140 days without government guest

ITV Good Morning Britain presenters Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid were left unhappy with the government again today.

The hosts on the popular breakfast show referenced the government's apparent boycott of GMB, highlighting it had been 140 days since a minister had appeared on the show.

Piers frequently speaks out on the government's lack of appearances on the show, often telling viewers "they don't care about you".

According to the TV host, members of the cabinet have refused to make an appearance on the programme since April, with Susanna Reid sharing his disappointment.

The hosts' dismay proved too much for some viewers - with some saying they had turned the channel over.

Fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts.

Ken said: "... who cares who comes on there or not boring yawn."

One viewer said: "Piers and Susanna need to shut the f*** up about the fact the government won’t go on their show."

Another commented: "Piers and Susanna. Your viewers don't care about Tory politicians."

Peter said: "Remind Piers it’s an entertainment program not a news program he works for. If he wants to interview government ministers move to a relevant channel."

*Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV at 6am
