Piers Morgan spoke out about his rage during a Good Morning Britain interview this morning, calling Tory Care minister Helen Whately ‘inept’ amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The 55-year-old shared more thoughts about the interview which he branded ‘inappropriate’ and ‘jarring’ in his latest column for Mail Online.
In the interview, Piers didn’t hold back when asking Helen Covid-19 related questions.
He asked her: “Why are we so underprepared for testing for our care workers.”
Piers held up a copy of the Daily Mail, which claimed 4,000 people have died in UK care homes since the coronavirus pandemic began.

He then fumed: “I don’t know why you’re laughing” before she explained it was because she couldn’t see the newspaper as her video call faced the other way.
Piers brought up the interview in his article, still raging after their live television chat.
He said: “I asked the Care minister Helen Whately on Good Morning Britain today if it was true, as the Daily Mail screamed on its front page, that as many as 4000 people may have died in care homes – but she hadn’t a clue.

“In fact, she laughed as I asked the question, just as she laughed again later in the interview during a startlingly inappropriate and jarring performance that exposed both her shocking ineptitude and the Government’s worrying reliance on incredibly inexperienced people to handle the worst crisis we’ve faced since World War 2.”
Also in his article, Piers slammed the government, claiming they were “complacent, careless and clueless” with their “shameful bungling”.
He remarked about Michael Gove going back to work after his daughter was tested for Covid-19 and found to not have the virus.

He said: “He was told he could, his daughter was tested, thankfully found to not have the virus, and Gove was free to go back to work.
“Yet most politicians are doing their work from home, and I see no good reason why Gove can’t either.
“Instead, he got an incredibly valuable test to free himself from restrictive isolation when most NHS staff and care workers can’t.
“That too is shameful.”
