Piers Morgan has revealed his radical manifesto that he would put into place if he were to become Prime Minister.
After Daily Star’s front page sparked debate, and the attention of the Good Morning Britain presenter, Piers has since put together his key set of rules that he would impose if he were in charge.
Piers kicked things off by saying he would ditch two thirds of the current cabinet, but unsurprisingly it didn’t take long for him to take aim at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
He has made it clear that he is not a fan of the former royals, who ditched their duties to move to Los Angeles, as he rebuked their decision to “use their title” to make money.

In his manifesto, Piers declared he would urge the Queen to strip the pair of their titles, writing: “I’d publicly urge the Queen to strip Meghan and Harry of their royal titles. Let’s see how many millions they command when they don’t sell themselves out to commercial partners as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
“Oh, and I’d hand Prince Andrew over to the FBI to finally talk under oath about what he really knows about his paedophile mate Jeffrey Epstein and the late billionaire’s alleged madame, Ghislaine Maxwell.”

Other rules included banning joggers, Liz Hurley from taking her clothes off and participation prizes in school.
Meanwhile, Piers unveiled an army of celebrity supporters backing his bid to become Prime Minister, including Mark Wright, Peter Andre and Christopher Biggins.
The unlikely trio all pledged their loyalty to the loudmouth Good Morning Britain presenter as his campaign to reach No10 – which started out as a Daily Star joke – gathered momentum.

Last night power-hungry Piers, 55, pledged on Twitter to unveil a `20-point Morgan’s Manifesto’ on what he would do if he made it to Downing Street.
It took MP-turned-reality TV star Anne Widdecombe, 73, to bring him back down to earth.
She predicted he would be a ‘supreme dictator’ who’d run Britain like North Korea if he ever got the top job.

TOWIE star-turned-footballer Wright, 34, told Morgan’s campaign video: “I always thought it was going to happen.
“I know he wants it, whether he tells you he does or he doesn’t.”
I’m A Celebrity star Biggins, 72, cooed: “You’ve got my vote Piers, yes I’m right behind you.”
Six-year-old Harmonie-Rose Allen, the meningitis victim Piers has championed for her bravery and charity work, said: “I want him to be prime minister because he’s so funny and very intelligent”

While Mysterious Girl singer Andre, 47, pledged his support – as long as Morgan’s co-host Susanna Reid was involved too.
He said: “If you’re going to do it take Susanna with you because behind every great man…do you know what I mean?”
The celebrity endorsements did not convince former Tory Anne who said Morgan may make an ideal successor to North Korean despot Kim Jong-un but was no replacement for current PM Boris Johnson.
“I think Piers might make a very good supreme dictator but I’ll stick with Boris,” she said.
Boris’ dad Stanley, 80, said Morgan was a good man but added: “He’s a good man where he is.”
While former Strictly champ Kevin Clifton, 38, said he would rather see Piers’s co-host Susanna running the country.
He told viewers: “Please let’s not make the same mistake over and over again and actually elect the brains behind the operation who is sat right next to him.”
Piers could not even rely on the support of his fellow presenter – despite promising her a place in his cabinet.
Susanna, 50, replied: “No, I’m going to be leader of the opposition.”
