Another spat caused by the Tories.
First, David Cameron, the former Conservative leader and Prime Minister, calls a referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU. Brexit happens and it looks like people will be arguing about it for a very long time.
Then his successor Theresa May calls a snap election to try gain a clear majority in the House of Commons, loses her majority and is forced into a deal with the Democratic Unionist Party to stay in power.
From saying there’s “magic money tree” to promising the DUP a billion pounds, the Prime Minister and her government has ensured people will have even more to disagree with one another about over the next few years.
And now, worst of all, the Tories have caused a Twitter spat to develop between Dan Walker and Piers Morgan. Monsters.
According to Morgan, Sir Michael Fallon was due to be a guest on ITV show Good Morning Britain, but pulled out on short notice.
Sir Michael Fallon agreed to do @GMB then pulled out at midnight.
One word for that: gutless.#Grenfellcrisis— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 27, 2017
Then, less than an hour later, BBC Breakfast host Walker said that Fallon and fellow Conservative Iain Duncan Smith would appear on his show.
We'll be speaking to Iain Duncan Smith & Sir Michael Fallon this morning on @BBCBreakfast. Plenty to talk about: DUP & #Grenfell
— Dan Walker (@mrdanwalker) June 27, 2017
The Daily Express wrote a story about Morgan labelling Fallon “gutless” for not appearing on the show to face questions about the Grenfell Tower disaster.
Walker took issue with this, saying people could either watch Morgan “moaning about not getting an interview” or watch the interview on his show.
Choices…
a) watch a bloke moaning about not getting an interview
b) watch the interview on @BBCBreakfast 🤔😂 https://t.co/UZrPFkCe0q— Dan Walker (@mrdanwalker) June 27, 2017
Morgan struck back, calling Walker a “football presenter.”
I think we all know why Govt. ministers prefer to be interviewed by a football presenter… https://t.co/UIBQLAQZtn

Walker gave Morgan a handy tip.
👜
Here's a tip, from a football presenter… let the interviewee (or your fellow presenter) speak and they might come on 👍🏻#ItsNotAboutYou https://t.co/sCmkNHebk9— Dan Walker (@mrdanwalker) June 27, 2017
Jake Humphrey, the BT Sports presenter, got involved for some reason.
This is getting interesting. I'm thinking celebrity charity boxing. You game lads?? @mrdanwalker @piersmorgan https://t.co/nPIF8rfIdT

Morgan went for a knockout blow, referencing the increase in ratings for Good Morning Britain.
BREAKING: Ratings gap between @GMB & @BBCBreakfast last week was closest for 2yrs. Thanks for switching over & welcome! 👍
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 27, 2017
And called the interviews on BBC “tedious.”
Then this happened.
I have no words. @GMB @susannareid100 pic.twitter.com/31gPyqJwfr

Which prompted Walker to have another dig.
Maybe Sir Michael Fallon was worried about your hard-hitting style @piersmorgan? #TalentShowJudge 😂😂#ItsNotAboutYou #LetSusannaTalk https://t.co/0Ce6NxejWB

Before Gary Lineker got involved.
Still trailing, Tubs? Are you the Arsenal of morning telly? https://t.co/CR2eyPiGZX

But Morgan, as ever, wouldn’t be silenced.
Winning's all that matters, Jugs. This season isn't over… https://t.co/yNaqlQ9z3X
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 27, 2017
It’s Susanna Reid we feel sorry for. The Good Morning Britain presenter will have to hear about this all week.
Susanna Reid dies a little inside every time @piersmorgan opens his mouth… pic.twitter.com/rP46QrydkU
