Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has taken aim at MP Helen Whately again after she wrote to a student nurse telling them they do not provide a service.
Piers and co-stars Susanna Reid and Dr Hilary Jones were left outraged by the claim – accusing the MP of making all student nurses feel useless.
Reading out part of the letter, Piers said: “I hope this reply is helpful says Helen Whately at the end of this letter.
“Now more than ever we value of the NHS work force and appreciate the dedicated work they produce'”.
Clearly unimpressed, Piers directly hit out: “Not really Helen.

“What you did did was make every student nurse in the country feel worthless.
“You said they don’t provide a service. 2,300 hours of clinical practices that they undergo is not a service.”
Piers was previously cleared by Ofcom over claims he’d “bullied” Helen when she appeared on GMB back in April after 3,200 complaints by viewers.
Giving his take on the situation to add context, resident ITV medic Dr Hilary added: “All I can tell you is that the student nurses I have worked with so far have been fantastic – just amazing.

“Some of them are looking after my elderly mum and have done a brilliant job.”
The NHS professional continued: “I would just say that before the pandemic the NHS was really rocking on its heels as it was under resourced, under funded and taken for granted.
“Now it has got through this immediate crisis and it has got a huge backlog of cancer and heart cases and all sorts of routine work to catch up on.
“The staff are exhausted. BMA has just released another piece of research that staff are so tired and really worried abut being able to manage a second spike and this is the way they treat student nurses.”

Earlier on in the programme, Piers hit out at Health Secretary Matt Hancock for breaking his own social distancing rules.
Never one to hold his tongue, Piers let rip after seeing Hancock break his own social distancing rules to pat a colleague on the back while in the House of Commons last week.
Piers raged: “He appears like an over inflated prefect at the daily briefings telling us what to do.
“If he is doing this in for to the camera in the House of Commons then what is he doing when there are no cameras.
“People look at that think well it cant be that bad, then I can do it.”
