PIERS Morgan has demanded the resignation of Matt Hancock when he appears on Good Morning Britain after the 200-day boycott of the No10 show.
The GMB host presented the government health secretary’s “charge sheet” of failures, while ministers were prohibited from facing Piers for questioning.

Mr. Hancock denied that there was an official boycott, saying, “I said I would come as soon as the newspapers allow.”
Piers pointed the finger at former Downing Street communications chief Lee Cain, who dramatically left last week with Dominic Cummings, as the mastermind of the ban on GMB ministers.
Piers said: “The 201-day government boycott of GMB has ended dramatically.
“Of course, it has nothing to do with eliminating the chicken guy Lee Cain who led the boycott.
“That will be the last time we see the miserable airhead idiot. Lee, you picked the wrong sparring partner. He’s gone.”
Susanna went on to say, “They followed him out of Downing Street.”
But he was quickly interrupted by Piers: “By another air-headed idiot, Dominic Cummings.”
After more than 200 days of not having a minister to question, Piers read the full “charge sheet” of the failures during the coronavirus crisis, including the inability to ensure sufficient evidence was available.
‘ON YOUR WATCH’
Piers said the testing policy was “still a complete disaster.”
“You are the Secretary of Health, you are under his watch. It turned out that we had very little personal protective equipment for our health workers, so hundreds of them died.
“Then it turned out that nursing homes, far from having the ring of protection you boasted of, actually sent thousands of elderly people out of hospitals to nursing homes without testing them,” criticized the GMB host.
Piers broke in: “Given that we now have more than 50,000 deaths in this country, which is the death toll that is worthwhile in this country, why are you still Secretary of Health? Why haven’t you resigned?
“There has been a constant series of government failures and U-turns this year, are you prepared to admit (that)?”
Hancock defended the testing policy, saying the mass testing would be mobilized to allow family and friends to visit residents in residences for Christmas.
He said he was focused on “getting people out of this, so we can get back to normal.”
“We’ve been working incredibly hard, for example, building the kind of testing capacity that we’re talking about today, expanding the number of tests available, making progress on the vaccine.
“I have been working on that, and obviously this is a critical period of the crisis.”
