kazzy33 This man is a despicable being. He’s not held anyone to account he’s shouted and bawled at people with a nodding dog by his side. I for one would like to see the back of him along with flicky hair susanna. He could start a bloody argument in an empty room!!! Vile!!!

piersmorgan susannareid100 GMB By & large these two stalwarts are the only interviewers actually DOING THEIR JOB! A reminder to the rest - you are supposted to be holding power to account which involves studying whats been going on & calling out lies & misleading comments!

Well I am shocked... 🙄

kazzy33 Yes very believable without doubt.

So the only person holding the government to account even though he is still a shit-lib though 1,200 goes into 120,000 a 100 times

Piers is simply asking questions and not putting up with the usual bullshit “disingenuous” answers that Health Sec Matt Hancock is spewing. Accountability and integrity used to mean something. Just because Mr Hancock folds like a cheap suit under questioning you call it bullying.

Never was a fan of his but time and time again this government's ministers fail to answer questions, led by the front by Johnson at PMQs. I can understand interviewer's frustrations. Why shouldn't they be interrupted when they go off on tangents unrelated to the question?

Classic dead cat distraction. Did you happen to get this story from a Mr H Mancock?

PBrit6 Motor mouth a bully surely not LOL

Gee. What a surprise. He normally seems like such a lovely chap (*sarcasm)

So the guy started it by tweeting that he wouldn’t work with piers again and is now crying because piers confirmed he definitely wouldn’t be. Now this is deemed as bullying by 1200 wet lettuces 🙄

Typical that is. 😂

So none of them were actually bullied by him, they just do not like his approach. Oh how they melt.

Morgan is proof positive of the bankruptcy of MSM employing pondslime to entertain and meet the disgusting demands of the British public.

He's the only one holding the government to account right now. Is it any surprise?

FatherBob No surprise there. He's been doing it in plain sight for years. Totally unacceptable and contrary to a workplace's duty of care.

Uh oh - they’re arguing about who’s bullying who. I’ll never forget Helen Carpenter’s words to me back in 2014. I’m not on Twitter but I’m reading your tweets. No problems were ever raised and why would they have been. Her words felt artificial but she was a novice chair - I

Just as well the television workers aren't in N. Ireland or the presenter employed by BBCNI because in NI after many ignored written complaints about a talk show host, a petition was raised, signed by 12K & discarded out of hand with signatories branded as threatening trolls.

He’s doing a fine job questioning the incompetence of Her majesty’s government....130000 dead citizens and corruption in every department...keep it up Piers and Susana....

Oh ffs

I have never liked him. I can believe this is true. But then why now? When he is one of the few/only to hold this corrupt gov to account? Why not last year or the year before?

He should be sacked, see how smug he is then. I hate cancel culture but this guy is something else.

Bullying you say? How surprising. He doesn't look the type... 🙄

He's starting to look more and more like this guy

he's too much to watch 1st thing in the morning. he's got that steptoe and son humour whingy whiny and it's not funny. the rants are tiresome. graham norton is who i would watch 1st thing in the morning. i watch his youtube clips for entertainment he likes people piers doesn't.

So the accusers were not named eh?

All these people moan abut him, but still watch😂 he's winning!
