Piers Morgan has hinted that he would be interested in running to become Prime Minister.
The 60-year-old journalist and presenter has suggested that a career in politics wouldn’t be out of the question for his future.
The host of the YouTube show, Uncensored, revealed that he has heard the public calls for his election, while chatting to Saga Magazine.
‘There has been talk about “PM for PM”, Piers Morgan for prime minister, why not?,’ he said to Saga Magazine.
‘Right now, there are a lot of people in this country who feel betrayed by successive governments, whether it’s over the NHS, stopping the boats or the state of the roads.’
He then revealed some of his possible manifesto promises, revealing that he’s be following some of US President Donald Trump’s ideas.
‘A 1% tax on income that would go straight to the NHS, and taking a leaf out of Trump’s book, I would call (French) president (Emmanuel) Macron and tell him that unless he did something about the boats, we would tax French imports by 1,000%.’
He added: ‘It’s time to get tough.’
Morgan began his career in journalism at The Sun going on to become the editor of the News Of The World and Mirror, and later moving into broadcast journalism, hosting shows including Piers Morgan’s Life Stories and Good Morning Britain and judging on Britain’s Got Talent.
In 2008, Morgan won The Celebrity Apprentice and became friendly with Trump.
He has been vocal about his support for the Conservative Party over the years, but spoken about his centrist political opinions more recently.
Morgan also revealed in the recent interview that he has taken up a sport in recent years, and is looking to take care of himself.
‘I watch what I eat and exercise more – I’ve even taken up boxing, and, no, it’s not because I keep getting into fights.
‘The only person who ever landed a fist on me was Jeremy Clarkson at the 2004 Press Awards. It wasn’t much of a punch, but it did leave a scar above my right temple… my Harry Potter scar.’
He added that he has no plans to take weight loss jabs: ‘My wife Celia (Walden) has been writing about men being on fat jabs, but I’m not one of them.
‘I do know some men who’ve had them and they’ve lost muscle mass and appetite, and don’t want to go to the pub. They’re scrawny and boring.’
