Housing Secretary James Brokenshire has been labelled as boring and been ‘banned’ from appearing on ITV’s flagship breakfast show Good Morning Britain.
High profile TV presenter Piers Morgan hit out at the cabinet minister after he refused to appear on the programme amid concerns over how he has previously been treated.
Brokenshire’s aides told the programme that they were also unhappy with Morgan’s negative tweets about Prime Minister Theresa May.
Morgan read a letter to the programme which said: “Piers’ tweets following the Panorama special on Theresa May making clear he does not think the PM is a leader and that Brexit is quotes a farce, and that he cannot be trusted by us to do a fair and balanced interview with James.”
Morgan added: “The truth is you’re an unbelievably boring person. I didn’t even know we were going to be interviewing you, if I’d have known I would have cancelled you.
“And you’re now banned from ever appearing on Good Morning Britain as long as I’m sitting in this chair.”
Brokenshire was making public appearances to promote an extra £2bn of funding for social housing.

So he didn’t know they were interviewing him? Is he that underprepared for all their guests? Piers Morgan talking rubbish as usual.
Heard Brokenshire on R4 this morning. If he gets his tongue any further up Mrs May’s rear end he will need surgery to extract it.
Could agree more!
There will be another Housing Minister along shortly!
Never mind, give it a few weeks and broken whatsit will be gone and another useless puppet will be keeping the seat warm!
Like or hate Piers Morgan, he certainly isnt boring. Many MPs need to liven up their act, this monotone, refusing to answer questions performance that they put on is beyond dull. Just a shame that it is the housing minister being called out on it.
Good ole Piers…lol
