Minister ends GMTV interview in a huff

[Fambo Number Mive]

Therese Coffey claims the interviewer is insulting her, refuses to explain why she thinks this and then ends the interview by disconnecting her camera.

The usual Tory grifters tweeting in response moaning about Morgan being "rude" and pretending to care about mental health.

Thérèse Coffey is only about 5 years older than Tim Wheeler from Ash.

Tory ministers are being bullied. Bullied bullied. Bullied. The poor bullied Tory ministers.

[Sebastian Cobb]

It's despicable they're being bullied rather than yeeted.

[sirhenry]

MP's shouldn't be bullied, but they should be cowed.

[BlodwynPig]

Boring, rite of passage shit now isn't it. Conservatives have normalised this. "Answer the question" for 100 minute elicit mild shrugs from the populace. "it's what MPs do".

pretending to care about mental health

No-one thinks Piers Morgan cares about mental health, so they're entirely correct to think that.

Morgan as per usual has found a niche where something gets to be all about him, a performative circus act. If he really represented a threat to them they'd simply refuse to put up anyone for interview.

Can I just shock you? I don't like Therese Coffey.

[Petey Pate]

If he really represented a threat to them they'd simply refuse to put up anyone for interview.

They were supposedly doing that last year.

I meant the Tory grifters were pretending to care about mental health.

Yes I recall that - a distinct change of strategy since then. Post-Cummings, perhaps...

Yes, the self-imposed ban was lifted the moment Cummings departed (as Morgan himself mentioned).

Piers Morgan isn't very good at this badgering. he had time to get the answer out of her but it didn't help he turned "elderly and obese" into "old and fat".

bloaty head cunt. Coffey is worse of course

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

She was good on " Do Not Adjust Your Set".

Agree it's an act with Morgan, however he did spend about 15 minutes bellowing at Gavin Williamson the other day, after they had refused to send guests on for ages so I guess the tory machine has probably told people not to let that happen again.
