Piers Morgan is a lot of things to a lot of people. Whether hated or adored, he\u2019s certainly never ignored. The veteran journalist may occasionally come across as the pantomime villain, but he has earned plaudits for his appearance on Question Time this weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He was added to a panel which featured representatives of the major political parties following the 2026 Local Elections. Reform\u2019s rise was once again the topic of discussion, alongside the latest scandal which is dogging Nigel Farage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n It emerged this week that Mr Farage was given a \u00a35 million donation from a Thai-based crypto-millionaire \u2013 and failed to declare it. The donor, Christian Harborne, and Nigel Farage both insist it is a personal gift and not a political one. They argue that the 61-year-old needs the funds to ensure his security.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Robert Jenrick was sent into bat for the right-leaning party. And, following a bruising exchange with a member of the public, he was on the end of another verbal walloping. Piers Morgan, quite rightly, wasn\u2019t having any attempts from the former Tory to try and downplay the situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \u201cHere\u2019s the point. If we discovered last week that Keir Starmer has taken \u00a35,000,000 without declaring it from a crypto billionaire in Thailand, Reform UK would have gone absolutely berserk. What you are saying is hypocrisy. Total hypocrisy.\u201d<\/em> | Piers Morgan<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reform and their MPs were looking to take a victory lap following their substantial gains in the 2026 Local Elections. They\u2019ve claimed an additional 1,440 seats, taking control of several other local authorities in the process. Their success comes at the expense of others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Labour have endured a torrid set of results, producing a near mirror image of Reform\u2019s results by losing around 1,400 councillors. Their misery has also been compounded by a good night for the Green Party, who have come close to quadrupling their number of councillors after breaking the 500-mark.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n The Tories have also lost 557 councillors so far. With that in mind, you would say the mood inside the Reform camp would be one of happiness and joy. But it\u2019s not that straightforward. With great power comes great accountability \u2013 something which\u00a0Robert Jenrick learned the hard way\u00a0on Friday evening.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Morgan then followed-up with his own takedown of the Labour Government, branding them a \u2018shambles\u2019 who have \u2018wasted the 14 years they had\u2019 to plan for positive change. When he asked the audience to raise their hands if they feel better off in the last two years, not a single person obliged.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWe have had a series of broken promises and policies which get a u-turn. It has been shambolic. That is why you now have Reform surging. I give them credit for what they\u2019ve done. But the difficult part for them comes now.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \u201cPeople aren\u2019t voting for Reform\u2019s plethora of beautifully thought-out policies. We don\u2019t know most of them, apart from immigration. What we do know is that they are a product of persistently failing governments over the last two years. This is a stain on their houses.\u201d <\/em>| Piers Morgan<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n #Piers #Morgan #exposes #Reform #hypocrisy #seconds<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s alarming just how simple it can be, really – with no-one in Reform holding Nigel Farage to the same standards as their opponents.
