Piers for Parliament?

GeoffH

"He doesn't have much time for Cameron, describing him as 'a spivvy snake-oil salesman who has got a load of his Old Etonian mates and they're all on a bit of a jolly to take over the country.' "

Anyone who can use such juvenile language doesn't have any "inner Tory". More like "inner Fascist".

laverda

I cannot think of anyone who would vote for this grovelling piece of cheap tv. His performance with his big pal Brown would guarantee he would get his overdue comeuppance

Nicholas

Another election scam on behalf of his Labour mates, giving him an opportunity to support them by being blatantly anti-Tory whilst trying to appear "open and frank". Nasty.

This duplicitous, manipulative bozo makes me want to puke. Hearing him talk about a "spivvy, snake-oil salesman" is rich. He is one himself. "Openness and frankness"? Don't make me laugh, Piers, you chancer. Stay out of politics - have you thought about a career selling used cars?

teledu

He's always struck me as a total @rse-licking, knob-head, so yes, a career as a politician would suit.

Stevie

This is the man who lied about the Army to make a cheap headline isn't it? I say bring back the 'Piss Off Piers' campaign.

Liz Brown

Christ Almighty - why don't we just close down Westminster and move the whole damn lot into Broadcasting House or wherever it is the meeja luvvies dwell these days. Tho, Morgan, who made a mint, through Insider trading, whilst Editor of whichever red top rag it was (Mirror?), is ideally suited to the corrupt Liebour benches wherever they were to sit............

Tiberius

Fraser, you do worry me.

At a time when Parliament is trying to recover from the expenses scandal, why would you see any good in Morgan as an MP when he has the baggage of the hoax torture pictures from his Mirror days? His judgement is shot to pieces.

Frederick James

Err, chaps, I think Fraser has his tongue rather firmly in his cheek!

Golur

This man was responsible for riots in Pakistan and elsewhere, and shootings in Basra in which British Forces were injured (luckily, none killed) when he published the laughably-faked photos of 'abused Iraqis' in the Mirror. It's not every MP that could claim to have directly caused that sort of effect....

antibes

You are kidding of course...he is one of the most hated men on tv!

David Ossitt

“Piers Morgan doesn't have much time for Cameron, describing him as 'a spivvy snake-oil salesman”

Well that is a bit rich; a comment such as that from one of the most disliked men in Britain.

A man who used information from his papers financial columnists and so be found to have done a bit of insider trading.

Piers Stefan Pughe-Morgan is an e-list minor celebrity who will always suck up to anyone, who has a modicum of power or influence.

It is said that Jeremy Clarkson; loathes the man so much that he is said to throw a punch at him, whenever they have met.

oldtimer

Surely he would stand as a Unite candidate after his oleagenous interview with Brown?

Harley

People often ask me "What would make you not vote Tory."

Now I know the answer. If Morgan comes out as a Tory and then decides to stand as a Conservative Parliamentary candidate, there's no way I can be in the same political organisation. Sharing citizenship with him is bad enough.

Greenslime

What a horrible thought! Perhaps he could join that other self-publicising windbag Esta Rantzen and they can hold hands and swap notes together in the chamber.

Beer Moth

Well yes. If he did talk frankly and openly about the problems facing this country, then I would vote for him.

We are so desperate for such a politician.

drakes drum

Well the man that printed false pictures of British Soldiers beating prisoners, who was an utter disgrace as the editor of The Mirror, will have a very difficult time wherever he stands. The British Legion will be out in force against this ghastly individual

2trueblue

There is nothing Tory about this idiot. Cleaning up Westminster is under way so he is surplus to requirements.

Cuffleyburgers

One is inescapably reminded of Ftephen Fry's definition of "Countryside": "to kill piers morgan" (actually it may have been Alistair Campbell, but it holds good)

The Laughing Cavalier

Would that be open and frank as in the share trader who edited the Daily Mirror and published stories about our troops knowing them to be false?

Zoo keeper (Elephant house)

He wasn't much cop as a newspaper editor.
And he's only gone downhill since then.

Next !

saddleworth

Sounds shallow enough to be an MP
There are no signs of an IQ too big to be out of place in HofC
His past financial probity will fit in very well
How has he not got elected already?

JONNY

Bit of a spivvy snake-oil salesman himself
and a nasty little name-dropping runt to
boot

Avudale

"Bring back an hour's sport every day for every kid in the country."

Fascism masquerading as green living.

TGF UKIP

Now he may be, white, over forty and, as far as I know heterosexual, but on the other hand he is a London sleb who comes across as slimy and obnoxious and he doesn't appear to be right wing in the slightest so he should fit the bill perfectly. Just be a question of which bunch of local Tories Dave and his mates choose to piss off and de-motivate even further.

Now on the other hand, David Ossitt, Jeremy Clarkson would be a superb vote winner especially if he continued to comprehensively and amusingly rubbish Dave and the Mekon's AGW obsession.

ollie

Morgan is only interested in the career of one person - piers morgan. He is the shallowest opportunist I have ever seen on TV - and the chief reason why I stopped buying the Mail on Sunday.

Have people short memories? This the scumbag who was sacked in utter disgrace at the Mirror for his pathetic stunt aimed at diminishing the army.

Who would vote for this piece of excrement?

GoodbyeGordon

I don't think even so self-regarding a set of individuals as this Paeliament (The Scum Parliament?)could cope with the monumental, Everestian vanity of this loathsome little tic.

Simon Stephenson

Fraser

What has Morgan done for his fame to be classed as meritorious rather than meretricious? Other than being a TV face, what are the attributes that should lead us to consider him likely to be a valuable addition to the 1 in 100,000 body that we choose to represent us in Parliament?

Or does modern fame so guarantee possession of the desired attributes that it is both unnecessary and impolite to seek detached confirmation of this?

who2vote4

Piers Morgan is a self publisizing knob with highly questionable morals and an ego that dwarfs Blair, Mandelson, Brown and Derry Irvine all rolled into one.

Just about the worst person to fairly represent constituents after Max Clifford.

Moriarty

I'm bipolar and spend two hours a day sorting out my pills. I spilt some of them which is why I now have 10 mins to care a stuff about the opinions of Piers Morgan.

Piers Morgan??????

Why does anybody care about how he votes????? The man is a total spastic.

Thank you !

Ian E

Shouldn't this article have been posted in 15 days?

Alan

Actually, he has changed his tune.

In his last book he describes meeting Cameron and Osborne at a party and how impressed he was with them, talking about how sharp and clever they were after they approached him to be a spokesman or something similar.

Now, why do you think he has decided to change his public position?

ala b

why would anyone give this man house room. brown claims this man as a friend. this man took a very dodgy video about british soldiers torturing some iraqis. it looked dodgy it was dodgy but he would do anything to embarrass blair for his friend brown. also browns new friend mandy that strong chinned he-man called guards officers chinless wonders. lovely friends brown has. yes i know the dodgy video was made by a group of soldiers on the make. that does not make it alright for a supposed upstanding citizen to use it

Greychatter

Piers Morgan? -- Isn't that's the smug Basket who bought fake photos of British Troops abusing Iraq's and was sacked?

Athesius the Facilitator

As an ex serviceman I think Morgan is a traitor for the forged photos as well as an insider dealer. I would have his head on a spike not on tele. I hate him. But Frasers comments just go to show the different standards of morality of ordinary people than the lower standard borne by the Westminster bubble occupiers who enjoy having Morgan at their "cockers Ps", even though they know he is the lowest mankind can offer.

Zoo keeper (Elephant house)

Can we draw a line in the sand, do the right thing and move on ?

Yorkshire Terrorist

With such a simplistic (some might say idiotic) view on the problems facing society, as well as a hatred of David Cameron, he'd fit in well on the Tory benches.

Michael G

Look, it is NOT Piers Morgan, it is public schoolboy Piers Pugh-Morgan although he doesn't boast about that bit.

The man is a moron. he would fit right in in Parliament.

Fred Blogs

Does this mean that Morgan will interview himself on TV?

fred

This is the man who oversaw and approved the printing of unsubstantiated photographs which may ultimately have cost the lives of UK troops.

Vote for him if you really, really want to.

statechaos

Piers has become perceptively more Tory since he began dating Celia Walden who as you know, writes for the Telegraph

stephen maybery

So darling Piers wants to stand for Parliament. Well why not? he's got the ego, he's mendacious, and as a journalist he will have mastered the art of fiddling his expenses. The man will be perfect in the job. As for we, the poor bloody tax payers, what difference will one more clown with his snout at the public trough make? It's not an election we need but a fleet of tumbrils, and when it is Piers turn I'll be there with my knitting, I've already started taking lessons.

Old Slaughter

I would rather eat nettles.

He is so loathsome I would vote for Marcus Brigstocke before him.

I wonder what soldiers would think of this berk anywhere near our politics.

Mr Adequate

I'd rather have the Wintertons as dictators for life than have this worthless ****hole as a parish councillor.

Peter Crawford

Describing Piers Morgan as an ****hole is both childish and rude. The correct term is ****sucker.

Carole

I think Piers would make the perfect prime minister - never afraid to speak out and tell people how it really is. Most politicians only speak out if they know it will benefit their career.. I admire somebody who stands up for his beliefs and wants to promote the good in this country. We need politicians who are in touch with society and not going to hide away in parliament and only crawl out in an election campaign to suck up to whoever can be whitewashed into voting them back in.
