Piers Morgan's latest stance on Covid leaves fans bewildered: 'You've changed your tune!'

Piers Morgan, 56, has made his opinion on anti-vaxxers very clear, especially over the past year or so during the coronavirus vaccine roll-out. But even he drew the line at mocking their Covid deaths.It comes after Pulitzer prize-winning columnist and author Michael Hiltzik, wrote a new piece for the Los Angeles Times about how to react when known anti-vaxxers who preached to others about not getting the jab then die from the illness.It was titled: "Mocking anti-vaxxers’ COVID deaths is ghoulish, yes — but may be necessary."After sharing it on Twitter, Hiltzik was inundated with an influx of messages with people asking if he was "insane or evil".Piers also waded into the debate, adding his own opinion on the "unpopular" piece.He replied: "Appallingly heartless take."Nobody’s Covid death should ever be mocked."They are all tragic victims, particularly so if they’ve been brainwashed into rejecting a vaccine that could have saved them."In Hiltzik's column, he referenced one individual in particular, Kelly Ernby.The former Orange County GOP Assembly candidate wasn't a prominent name on the national stage, but her death propelled her to be a much-discussed topic on social media.She was not vaccinated against Covid when she died last week, and as an outspoken critic of vaccine mandates, the internet exploded with comments blaming her for her own death.But it appears to have highlighted tensions between how we view mandates, with some believing they are Government overreach and others who see vaccines as vital to ending the pandemic.Many rushed to the comments section of Piers' post to share their views on the situation.Kenyanvoices penned: "Or they had taken several jabs that had no effect whatsoever.

Piers Morgan has hit out at Prime Minister Boris Johnson after reports surfaced claiming that Downing Street staffers were sent an email inviting them to "make the most of the lovely weather" at a garden party at No. 10 during the first lockdown.The outspoken TV personality, 56, didn't hold back as he explained that on the day of the reported party, he held a socially-distanced reunion with his eldest son, whom he hadn't seen in two months due to strict Covid restrictions.In view of his 7.9 million followers, the former newspaper editor blasted the PM for his "hypocrisy".Piers wrote: "On the day (May20, 2020) that@BorisJohnson attended his No10 party where 100 people were invited to ‘bring a bottle’, I met my eldest son for first time in 2 months, & we stayed this far apart, without anyone else there, because that was BORIS JOHNSON’S BL***Y RULE.The star shared a snap of him and his son Spencer reunited outdoors.Donning a pair of sunglasses, Piers grinned happily as he pointed to his eldest son, whom he hadn't seen in 60 days, who was giving both thumbs up to the camera.In a later tweet, Piers once again slammed the PM for not following the rules he had set for the nation.The former Life Stories host wrote: "We all have similar stories, some obviously deeply distressing involving sick and dying loved ones."Britain’s Prime Minister separated families for months on end, often in their darkest hours, but secretly ignored all those rules himself to party."Just outrageous hypocrisy," he ended his tweet.According to a leaked email, Downing Street staff were invited to a garden party at No.

Piers Morgan went on the social media platform today, to welcome Louis O'Brien to the team after the latter shared a tweet that said he was leaving the Beeb to work with the 56-year-old broadcaster. Louis, who worked as a producer at BBC's The Papers, posted a photo of himself in front of Broadcasting House as he bid farewell to his job."Today marks the end of my BBC journey.

Piers Morgan, 56, is currently preparing for the launch of TalkTV where he will be presenting on the new Rupert Murdoch-owned channel.This however, has not stopped Piers taking to Twitter to voice his opinion on Novak Djokovic's mother's statement regarding her son, who was subject to "torture" after being denied entry to Australia.The Chief Sports writer for The Telegraph, Oliver Brown tweeted Dijina Djokovic's statement earlier today.He said: "Dijina Djokovic: 'Novak was subject to torture, harassment.

Piers Morgan, 56, penned a furious letter to Boris Johnson, highlighting his "ineptitude" as Prime Minister, raging at him for his dealings with the coronavirus pandemic, and pointing out various other Government failings over his two-years in the hot seat.The former Good Morning Britain star also demanded he be the first to appear on his new TV show, which is due to premiere very soon.In his latest column for The Sun, Piers titled the piece: "Dear Boris, stop being a shambles and fix things or admit being PM is too much for you and quit, yours Piers Morgan."The uncensored letter referenced the 201-day Government boycott of GMB, where the former editor of The Spectator magazine (1999-2005) refused to answer Piers' repeated calls to appear on the show.Boris has been accused of "ducking interviews" after not featuring on the programme for almost four years.He penned: "It was pathetic to watch a fellow ­journalist run and hide in a fridge to avoid answering my questions on Good Morning Britain, and boycott shows like GMB for months on end for fear of a tough interrogation."Grow a pair, man! (And you can start by being one of my first guests on my new global TV show...)"He added: "You wrote an excellent book about your hero Sir Winston Churchill which lauded his courage under fire.

Piers Morgan has branded the Prime Minister “a shambles” in his latest column. Piers also claimed that Boris Johnson has “destroyed trust” between himself and the public that he is supposed to represent. In his sizzling new column for The Sun, Piers said that Boris was “officially a shambles”, despite admitting that he preferred the Prime Minister to what he referred to as “the dreary, joy-sucking woke brigade”. Under the heading “you have destroyed trust”, Piers then got into the reasoning behind his frustration at Boris. “Let’s be frank,” he wrote.

Lord Alan Sugar, 74, has claimed that he will continue to criticise Piers Morgan when he believes the former Good Morning Britain presenter is out of line.

I don’t think so.

Piers Morgan, 56, reacted to a photograph of Novak Djokovic surrounded by young tennis players which was shared the day after his lawyers claim he tested positive for Covid.The photograph was taken at an awards ceremony in Belgrade, Serbia, and Djokovic can be seen standing with young people who are holding tennis trophies.It is unclear when the event took place, but the photographs were shared by the Tennis Association of Serbia on December 17, as reported by Sky News.Djokovic’s lawyers say he had tested positive for Covid a day earlier.They are reportedly planning to use the test in question to validate Djokovic’s medical exemption which would enable him to enter Australia without being vaccinated.Upon hearing the news, Piers Morgan took to Twitter to jibe at the tennis champion.The journalist wrote: “‘Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive…”The quote comes from author Sir Walter Scott’s nineteenth century poem Marmion.Piers has previously praised Australia for denying Djokovic’s entry into the country.He told his 7.9 million followers: “The #Djokovic saga is not about whether you believe in Covid vaccines, but whether you believe famous sports stars should play by the same rules as everyone else.“He has the right not to be jabbed, and Australia has the right to chuck him out for making a dodgy visa application."The 20-time Grand Slam winner is still being held in a Melbourne detention centre after his visa was cancelled upon arrival into the country.He was told he didn't meet the country's entry requirements due to his vaccine status.Djokovic has not revealed whether he has been vaccinated or not, although he has been critical of mandated vaccines in the past.Court documents released on

Piers Morgan, the journalist has made it clear he is fighting back.The controversial TV star told his almost eight million followers that the harassment he'd received was crossing the line - and that he wouldn't tolerate it again.As reports emerged that an arrest had been made after a social media user's "chilling" death threats had targeted Piers and his son, the presenter took to Twitter to thank supporters for their kind words."Thanks to everyone who’s sent nice messages about this," the 56-year-old wrote."It’s appreciated and a reminder that most people aren’t vile trolls."As for those who’ve inevitably sent more threats/abuse, just be mindful: if you cross a line, or involve my family, I will come for you."Piers has been making waves with his controversial opinions for years.He recently left ITV altogether to avoid apologising after accusing Meghan Markle for lying about her life in the royal family.He also dismayed a mental health charity, which condemned him for appearing to dismiss Meghan's claims, from her interview with Oprah Winfrey, that she had suffered suicidal thoughts.Ofcom received almost 60,000 complaints - the highest total in its history - but Piers was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing, as the regulator decided his comments constituted reasonable "freedom of expression".He has since claimed that although he takes suicide and mental health issues seriously, he believes that some people exaggerate their problems and should "toughen up".He also recently blasted actor Alec Baldwin for his perceived insensitivity to the late Rust crew member Halyna Hutchings, who was accidentally shot by the star on-set with a prop gun.After seeing a Christmas video message Alec had created for Instagram, Piers claimed
