Piers Morgan, the prominent journalist and television presenter, has indicated a potential ambition to run for Prime Minister. The 60-year-old host of the Uncensored YouTube show expressed his views in a recent interview with Saga Magazine.
Piers Morgan’s Vision for Leadership
During the interview, Morgan emphasized the need for a tougher leadership approach in the UK. He remarked, “There has been talk about ‘PM for PM’, Piers Morgan for Prime Minister, why not?” He noted a growing sentiment among the public who feel let down by successive administrations on critical issues like the NHS and illegal immigration.
Proposed Policy Changes
Among his proposed policies, Morgan suggested introducing a 1% tax on income designated specifically for the NHS. Furthermore, he expressed plans to pressure the French government regarding illegal boat crossings. He stated, “I would call President Emmanuel Macron and tell him that unless he did something about the boats, we would tax French imports by 1,000%.”
Personal Developments
Reflecting on his age, Morgan revealed in the interview that turning 60 has motivated him to adopt a healthier lifestyle. He is now focusing on nutrition and exercise, stating, “I’ve even taken up boxing.” He humorously mentioned an incident from 2004 where he was punched by Jeremy Clarkson, leaving a scar he affectionately described as his “Harry Potter scar.”
Views on Modern Trends
In discussing health, Morgan dismissed the idea of using weight loss injections. He criticized them by sharing concerns from his wife, Celia Walden, about the negative effects these treatments can have on men’s health. He stated, “I do know some men who’ve had them and they’ve lost muscle mass and appetite.”
