The former Daily Mirror editor was left fuming after businessman Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones appeared to compare Liz Truss to Winston Churchill.
Liz Truss
Mr Emmanuel-Jones, a former Conservative parliamentary candidate, argued that every great leader makes mistakes in response to a comment from a member of the audience. The founder of “The Black Farmer” claimed that Britain’s famous wartime Prime Minister had made mistakes but had learnt from them to emerge as a “brilliant” leader.
He said: “One of the greatest leaders Winston Churchill made some big mistakes where lives were lost.
“And from those lessons, he went on to be a brilliant leader.”
At this point, a bemused Mr Morgan interjected asking if Mr Emmanuel-Jones was comparing Ms Truss with Mr Churchill.
