Piers Morgan has spoken out in support of his former Good Morning Britain co-host Susanna Reid, praising her for a 'lethally effective' line of questioning during her heated interview with Boris Johnson.
Prior to sitting down next to Susanna in the study at 10 Downing Street on Tuesday morning as cameras were rolling, the Prime Minister had boycotted the ITV breakfast show for close to five years, despite the fact that a number of his past and current colleagues were regular guests during the height of the Covid pandemic. And, having waited nearly half a decade to get him back in the hot seat, Susanna was in no mood to give him an easy ride.
Pulling no punches from the off, Susanna fired a damning first question at Johnson, asking him if he was honest, as she kept pushing him for a straight answer. The PM's GMB interview, having started nearly half an hour late, lasted around 20 minutes with topics covered by Susanna including the on-going conflict in Ukraine and the escalating cost of living crisis back on home turf. And it was when discussing the latter that things got particularly fraught as Susanna used GMB viewers' plights as case studies.
