Politics is an entertainment business
‘There has been talk about “PM for PM”, Piers Morgan for prime minister, why not?,’ he said to Saga Magazine.
‘Right now, there are a lot of people in this country who feel betrayed by successive governments, whether it’s over the NHS, stopping the boats or the state of the roads.’
He then revealed some of his possible manifesto promises, revealing that he’s be following some of US President Donald Trump’s ideas.
The pair met decades ago and following a recent meeting Trump has encouraged Piers to stand and at some stage join Reform UK to give impetus to their faltering campaign.
The journalist revealed his main goals
‘A 1% tax on income that would go straight to the NHS, and taking a leaf out of Trump’s book, I would call (French) president (Emmanuel) Macron and tell him that unless he did something about the boats, we would tax French imports by 1,000%.’
He added: ‘It’s time to get tough.’
Morgan began his career in journalism at The Sun going on to become the editor of the News Of The World and Mirror, and later moving into broadcast journalism, hosting shows including Piers Morgan’s Life Stories and Good Morning Britain and judging on Britain’s Got Talent.

Piers is set to release a new autobiography
Morgan also revealed in the recent interview that he has taken up a sport in recent years, and is looking to take care of himself.
‘I watch what I eat and exercise more – I’ve even taken up boxing, and, no, it’s not because I keep getting into fights.
‘The only person who ever landed a fist on me was Jeremy Clarkson at the 2004 Press Awards. It wasn’t much of a punch, but it did leave a scar above my right temple… my Harry Potter scar.’
He added that he has no plans to take weight loss jabs: ‘My wife Celia (Walden) has been writing about men being on fat jabs, but I’m not one of them.
‘I do know some men who’ve had them and they’ve lost muscle mass and appetite, and don’t want to go to the pub. They’re scrawny and boring.’
