Piers Morgan for Prime Minister? The idea isn’t as far-fetched as you might think! The outspoken broadcaster has hinted he’d consider stepping into politics, with a tough-love manifesto in mind. During a candid chat with Saga Magazine, Piers, 60, floated the possibility saying, “There’s talk about ‘PM for PM’… Why not?”
With many in the UK feeling let down by successive governments, particularly on issues like the NHS and immigration, Piers is thinking big. His bold ideas include a 1% income tax dedicated to the NHS and a stark warning to French President Emmanuel Macron about boat crossings, inspired by some hard-nosed tactics from across the pond. It’s clear Piers believes it’s time for no-nonsense leadership.
But it’s not all politics. Discussing his milestone age, Piers shared how he’s taking better care of himself—yes, that includes boxing! Despite being known for his sparring words on TV, the only real punch he’s ever taken was from Jeremy Clarkson at the 2004 Press Awards.
And don’t expect to see Piers on any weight-loss injections either. He finds them a bit dull, sharing, “I know some men who’ve done it, and they’ve become scrawny and boring.”
Piers, who started his career at The Sun and shot to fame on shows like Good Morning Britain, is never far from the spotlight. So, how does the thought of Piers Morgan leading the country sit with you? Tell us your thoughts!
