They should be grilled but the problem with Morgan is that he doesn't leave room for an answer - even one to be scrutinised. He isn't looking for answers, he's looking to blast his opinion louder than the other person in the room and it's boring. A skilled interviewer is there to let the other person talk and then quickly and succinctly point out the holes in their answer - they're not there to talk, and Morgan only wants to hear his own voice.

This was true when he was pro-tory, pro-brexit, etc. and it doesn't stop being true just because he's flipped on the government.

I'd LOVE to see these politicians under the scrutiny of a genuinely skilled, knowledgeable interviewer. I don't want to see Piers hooting at them for 10 minutes.

It's fine asking questions IF you let people answer,he doesn't ,as for us wanting answers,there are plenty of other news channels that they happily go on and answer our questions,Piers and his sidekick just make it all about them and I never saw him this hyserical over Corbyn ,or anyone, he's a hypocrite , but he's easily turned off in our house now.

He lets people finish an answer of it’s a direct answer to the question that was asked, he doesn’t let them direct where the questioning does, that’s a good thing.

Also, sorry, the bib is HYSTERICAL, I can’t

But a skilled interviewer baits the trap, and helps the interviewee relax to the point where the guard slips and a real answer comes out. This is the part that Morgan seems to be unable to grasp. He does indeed "hammer at them" but he goes straight in with the hammer in his hand; the defence never drops, so while he succeeds in pointing out that they won't give a straight answer... he never manages to GET a straight answer. The walls go up and up until the whole interview is shut down - often by a frustrated Morgan himself.

Pointing out bull**** answers is only half of the challenge and there's not much point in it when it only causes them to "armadillo", taking the answers with them.

Why did Margaret Thatcher give him a Knighthood.

Exactly, the law has to act on evidence and there has to be enough of it.

Bit of an odd stick to hit Sir Kier with, unless this was "allowed" to happen due to locally enacted policies or initiatives which came from the Labour MPs and councils rather than higher up.
