Piers Morgan CONFRONTS a vegan climate activist Orla Coghlan over almonds and avocados, accusing him of hypocrisy:
“You don’t care about bees being murdered. You’re killing billions of bees and destroying the planet, yet you preach about saving animals!”
His final response? “I’m certainly allowed to eat meat when someone kills bees to feed their avocado habit!”
Piers Morgan: Do you eat almonds? Do you drink almond milk?
Orla Coghlan: I’m here to talk about the climate crisis.
Piers Morgan: Do you eat avocados?
Orla Coghlan: I eat a plant-based diet.
Piers Morgan: Do you eat avocados?
Orla Coghlan: Yes.
Piers Morgan: Great. A leading study says billions of bees are slaughtered so that you can have your almonds and avocados. Why don’t you care about the little guys?
Orla Coghlan: Can I say that there—
Piers Morgan: It’s total hypocrisy, isn’t it? You don’t care about bees being murdered.
Orla Coghlan: Will you let me speak? I’ve been brought on the show to answer your questions.
Piers Morgan: I think you’re a hypocrite, like a lot of vegans I’ve met. You don’t seem to realize that your almonds and avocados involve the slaughter of billions of bees.
Piers Morgan: You believe in the climate crisis?
Orla Coghlan: Yes.
Piers Morgan: Animal agriculture, farming and fishing are leading causes of the climate crisis. But you know what’s also damaging? Planes carrying your avocados and almonds from California thousands of miles to your vegan cafes. You’re killing billions of bees and destroying the planet, yet you sit here preaching about saving animals and the environment!
Orla Coghlan: I hear that you’re very frustrated. I would really like to respond.
Piers Morgan: Go on, then.
Orla Coghlan: A leading study from Oxford, the most comprehensive study on food and climate ever done, says animal products farming animals and fishing are the leading cause.
Piers Morgan: Is a bee an animal?
Orla Coghlan: I’m not finished. It surpasses—
Piers Morgan: Is a bee an animal?
Orla Coghlan: Piers, can I—
Piers Morgan: Of course a bee is an animal! If a bee’s an animal, why are you slaughtering them?
Orla Coghlan: Both almonds and avocados are less damaging to the planet—
Piers Morgan: Oh, they are less damaging! And what about how they get from California? What about the trucks across Europe?
Piers Morgan: I’m starving, and you’re not going to persuade me. My response to you destroying all these things is to have a Big Mac. It’s a free country, it’s a democracy. I’m allowed to eat meat, and I’m certainly allowed to eat meat when someone who kills bees to feed their avocado habit lectures me!
Labour - it's nothing we've done !!!!
They think we're all fools !!
Lucy Powell, "The war in Iran, a war that I'm really proud that this Labour government said we would not get involved with"
"And that's because of the devastating impact on the cost of living around the world"
"We've just seen interest rates go up, and the governor of the Bank of England said it's a direct response to the war on Iran; and we're now seeing inflationary pressures coming through the system"
"Hopefully countries coming together will put an end to this war on Iran, tackling this global cost of living which is really bearing down on everybody else"
My view:
Lucy Powell is right to highlight the war’s devastating economic consequences. But she still avoids directly criticising the US and Israel for launching the attacks that UN human rights experts have condemned as unlawful. Accountability means naming those responsible.
And saying Britain “would not get involved” leaves out a significant part of the story. The government authorised US use of British bases for strikes against Iranian missile facilities, describing those operations as defensive. Refusing to join the initial attacks does not mean Britain played no part in the conflict.
If ministers want credit for their restraint, they should also be honest about the support they provided. And if they can condemn the economic damage this war has caused, they should be willing to criticise the allies whose decisions helped bring it about.

🚨 STARMER IN PANIC MODE AS THE TRUTH COMES OUT 🚨
Reports reveal that Starmer sent 100 staffers to the U.S. in an effort to undermine the re-election of Donald Trump—a shocking interference in American democracy and to "kill Elon Musks Twitter."
The Starmer regime is scrambling as the British public begins to wake up to the fraudulent and authoritarian agenda of his government.
Now, in a desperate bid to defend the crumbling facade, Barry Gardiner has emerged to spin excuses for Starmer. But his defense only raises more questions: why is a British government meddling in U.S. elections? Why are they ignoring Britain’s crises at home to play political games abroad?
Meanwhile, with Elon Musk and Donald Trump hitting back, Starmer’s plan is unraveling fast. Did they really believe their meddling wouldn’t come to light?
This is a government in chaos, desperately trying to silence dissent and distract from its domestic failures. As the gas crisis looms, free speech erodes, and public trust evaporates, Starmer’s regime is showing its true colors.
🔥 Barry Gardiner’s spin won’t save Starmer now. The people are waking up, and his grip on power is slipping. Britain deserves better than a leader in full panic mode.
The clock is ticking—will his government collapse under the weight of its own lies? 🔥

Many people in Britain won't be able to afford a holiday in 2027 thanks to Ed Miliband's obsession with net zero.
Energy prices are forecast to rise by another 25% in January, following the policies he championed from 2024 to mid 2026.
The fact he's now living it up in the Caribbean, snorkelling in Antigua, while millions of Britons struggle to make ends meet back home is an absolutely dreadful look.
He enjoys the Caribbean sunshine while British families worry about keeping the lights on this winter.

The financial secretary to the Treasury explains that the war on Iran is driving inflation so the Bank of England has put up interest rates.
How is making peoples mortgages more expensive going to make a barrel of oil cheaper?

Finally, a broadcaster who talks bloody common sense 👏
Patrick Christys says it like it is, means what he says and speaks for millions of people across this country who are sick of being ignored.
Here he breaks down the whole racket: support for migrants in France, the journey across the Channel, and the British state then bringing them ashore and housing them. Meanwhile, British taxpayers are expected to keep footing the bill.
It's great to have a broadcaster in this country who actually has the guts to say what millions are thinking.
More power to you, Patrick. 🇬🇧

Piers Morgan completely loses his temper during this heated clash after a guest refuses to call Hamas terrorists and calls Western LGBTQ+ rights "filth."
Piers Morgan: It didn't happen? 1,200 people were massacred, were they?
Dr. Waheed Areef Sha: I think 1,200 people were killed.
Piers Morgan: Well, they massacred?
Dr. Waheed Areef Sha: Yeah, they were killed. Right, by terrorists. They were killed by people who were resisting an occupation.
Piers Morgan: And they're terrorists.
Dr. Waheed Areef Sha: Yeah, well, that's your view. It is my view. And by the way, it's the view of any person who is not Israeli or Palestinian, right?
Piers Morgan: I want to just read you this. In May 2023, Lukman Hakim, who's a prominent member of your organization, called for an end to the secular order so that, quote, "The UK will no longer be able to pump its liberal filth, its LGBT filth, its feminist filth into the heart of the Muslim world." Do you agree with him?
Dr. Waheed Areef Sha: I agree that the West is pumping secular democracy into the Muslim world.
Piers Morgan: You mean LGBT?
Dr. Waheed Areef Sha: I agree that actually what we want to see in the Muslim world is a system with an accountable government, right? We want to see an economic system where wealth is circulated.
Piers Morgan: Do you believe in equal rights for gay people?
Dr. Waheed Areef Sha: I believe that actually the Islamic standard of law should be the standard of law in the country. Obviously, that's the standard I believe in. And I believe…
Piers Morgan: Just to clarify, what is your view of homosexuality?
Dr. Waheed Areef Sha: I believe homosexuality is a sin. That sin is wrong.
They will in the past soon enough the economy will turn on this government and they will have failed the UK.
