GMB's Ranvir Singh slams Boris Johnson's lack of morals and calls for him to resign

Good Morning Britain host Ranvir Singh made her feelings about Prime Minister Boris Johnson very clear as she hosted Wednesday's show.

The mother-of-one was presenting the ITV breakfast show alongside Richard Madeley when the conversation soon turned to Boris and his wife Carrie being fined for partying during the 2020 lockdown.

On Tuesday, No10 made the bombshell admission that cops have decided the Prime Minister, his wife and his Chancellor Rishi Sunak all broke their own lockdown laws.

After the announcement, Boris confirmed he’d paid his £50 fine but refused to resign - shamelessly saying it had given him an "even greater sense of obligation" to deliver on his "levelling-up" manifesto pledge.

He denied lying to Parliament - but accepted he could receive more fines.

No10 confirmed the PM's fine is for a party at 2pm on 19 June 2020 in the Cabinet room - where staff presented him with a cake and sang Happy Birthday while indoor gatherings and singing at Covid funerals were illegal.

Ranvir was clearly fuming on Wednesday as she read out tweets and messages from GMB viewers who missed seeing their dying loved ones while Boris celebrated his birthday.

"It's very hard to read any of these without it getting in your throat," Ranvir admitted to Richard.

"This is so visceral. It's about these poor people who missed out on these incredible moments of someone's life and death and he was happy having happy birthday sung to him in a room and still can't resign over breaking..." she continued.

"Where are his morals? Where are his ethics as a man?" she fumed.

Ranvir was also stunned at Boris's apology and the fact that he was "reading off a piece of paper".

When the idea of Boris being above the law was raised, Ranvir commented: "Well, he isn't above the law because the law has played its part and he's been fined.

"So in a sense, what we stand for in this country has happened, it's a democracy, no one's above the law. He's been fined. The question is about the resignation though..."

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV and ITV Hub.
