Good Morning Britain was insane this morning. Having seen what hes like behind the scenes, make no mistake - Piers Morgan is even more of a bellend than you realise. He's full out strawberry floating dangerous.

Is he still yammering on about Meghan?

Also an exclusive interview with Ant Middleton!

Without Dec?

Please elaborate.

Seeing as hes cancelling people left, right and centre, I'd rather not.

+1 for the "Don't watch GMB, what happened?"

Watching the Sturgeon testimony. It all seems very weird why she chose to meet Salmond, but wanted to remain impartial and not intervene. She says she wasn't aware what the meeting was for, but that seems very hard to believe.

I think the big mistake was agreeing to meet with him in the first place. I still don't really understand her reasoning for not declaring the meeting either. When you add in the fact she apparently forgot the meeting too, it all seems very hard to believe.

Edit: This is massively confusing and I wonder if that's part of the intention. As I understand it, she forgot she found out about the allegations before meeting Salmond? But also didn't log the meeting she did have with him? And also didn't know what the meeting was about? Her story seems very shakey and her memory seems absolutely appalling.

Yeah I think they are just trying to confuse and delay to muddy the water so no one has a clue what's going on and then no longer care about it.

She did well today. Also her line of "I do not think it's reasonable to apologize for the behaviour of Alex Salmond" sums up the whole mess. Asking a woman to apologize for the behaviour of an alleged male sex offender. Yeah it's the women who are at fault here.

Give it a few days and the English press will be back hating Harry and his wife and forget about Scotland.

I'm not so optimistic, I think we've got this right up until the Scottish elections in May.

And then to any potential independence referendum if the SNP maintain their majority.

Makes sense to investigate her, I'm sure there aren't any non-sweaty nonces that might be a more pressing concern.

I'm apparently going to be £12/year better off under todays budget.

Sarah Vine chooses to have sex with Michael Gove, I think that puts her judgement seriously into question.

I've invented a hypothetical situation to stoke the culture wars. I'm so clever.

To be fair, Morgan wouldn't have known those people were evil. Whereas Meghan should have known about all of the military weapons Britain sells to Saudi Arabia.

To be even more fair, Morgan is a bottom feeding scumbag and therefore has no values to actually question.

Yes but that didn't work as a "Britain sells arms to evil regimes" joke.

Remember when Princess Diana died and the public were angry at the press for a week. Saying they had hounded her to an early grave. Her son is going through the same because he chose to find love outside of his race (just like his mum chose to do) but the idea of this is so insulting to some people they want him removed from the UK permanently.

Brexit, conservative policies and deeply right wing press has normalised the abhorrent.

Free pass for Prince Andrew, but the mail will write a headline about how a woman of colour likes avocados and it's destroying the planet (this actually happen)

Government sells weapons to Saudi to murder the people of Yemen and votes against selling weapons to countries found guilty of genocide. Free pass. Accept a gift from a Saudi prince and the woman of colour is basically a terrorist.

The queen has entertained dictators, had them around for dinner and accepted gifts. No issues there though.

We've gone beyond parody at this point.
