I think Lorraine is going to be based in Scotland

No Piers then ? Sounds an awful mess if they're all in the studio

Tom is ITV News political editor.
Lorraine reporting live fom Glasgow on Nicola Sturgeons shoes and did she show enough boobies to secure votes . Ben monitoring the superhero vote. And Kate just shouting over everyone and talking to them like 5 year olds. It will be shambolic!

Really? Huw Edwards is an appalling presenter IMO.

Cock of walk to Shephard’s holiday cover Piers Morgan’s devastating downgrade
NEWZOIDS, Ninja Warrior UK, Play To The Whistle, Give A Pet A Home, that hypnotism cobblers with Phillip Schofield.
ITV’s been throwing a lot of pasta at the walls recently and almost nothing has stuck.
Nothing apart from one rather flabby, grey, over-cooked piece that refused to budge from its breakfast TV set, until Friday.
I’m talking here, clearly, about Piers Morgan, who started a five-day work placement, last Monday, alongside Susanna Reid, who looked a “delighted” vision in high-vis yellow, which really should be the colour of Good Morning Britain’s official flag.
For this is a show that, just like its predecessor, GMTV, has massively bought into the health & safety culture and is never truly at ease unless someone (usually Dr Hilary) is cautioning, warning, recommending and generally just demonstrating how much it damn well cares.
It is, in other words, with the obvious exception of Naked And Afraid, the last place on TV earth suited to Piers Stefan Pughe-Morgan.
For starters, he looks all wrong. His bison-sized head is now folding in on itself, Steptoe style, and the mouth has developed a nervous twitch whenever he’s silenced for longer than 13 seconds.
It’s the stuff that comes out of it, of course, that remains the real problem. Not just the me-me-me schtick but the accompanying “ha-ha ha HAAAH” laugh which is usually employed in one of three ways.
1. To laugh at his own jokes. Obviously.
2. To belittle the other presenter.
And 3. To try to ease the tension when he’s gone over the top.
Occasionally you get all three, as demonstrated by this exchange with fellow egomaniac Martin Lewis, the show’s financial expert.
“Do you talk on your website?”
“No.”
“It sounds quite good then, ha-ha ha HAAAH.”
The irony was lost on Piers, naturally, just as it was when he accused showbiz reporter Ross King of sucking up to celebrities.
Because, while I could never accuse him of being a total plank, Piers’ brain has definitely joined the “five items or less” queue.
There’s room in there for: Arsenal, his Kevin Pietersen crush, US gun laws, a dull anecdote about his daughter and not much else.
It means he can demolish Caroline Lucas, the MP for Flat Earth Central, but is genuinely out of his depth with Aleksandr the Meerkat, who battered him to all corners of the GMB studio last Wednesday.
Devilment aside then, why would I think he should become a permanent breakfast fixture?
Well, hand on heart, I was thoroughly entertained by every day of Piers’ stint.
I enjoyed watching him provoke that little French nutcase who climbs skyscrapers into swearing, and thought his contempt for politicians, on a show where they’re generally treated far too timidly, was very refreshing.
Even in a country as buffoon-friendly as Britain, where John Prescott actually became Deputy PM, I realise this is not a popular opinion. There is a certain justice, though, to giving him the gig permanently.
Less than two years ago, Bill Clinton was hanging on Piers’ every word. Now, here he is, linking to Good Morning Britain’s phone competition, introducing a regional travel report about a District Line hold-up at Acton and dutifully trotting up to the network centre roof to remind everyone temperatures could well hit 16 degrees in Aberystwyth today?
As brutal but necessary comeuppances go, that’s beyond my wildest fantasies and even Piers’ Twitter blurb.

At least he didn't have to introduce #selfie esteem!
Poor Susanna, she looks utterly mortified introducing it.

It would look like Ben falling out of favour if that happened though... I bet it's already a kick in the teeth being replaced by Tom Bradby of all people - yes Tom knows his stuff, but he's not the best presenter or reporter, but more to the point has nothing to do with GMB. To add to that with Piers standing him for him last week.
Saying that, I do like Ben. I wonder if the show would be more successful if it was Ben and Kate only?
I like Susanna, but I can see why people might not like her (especially mums). She seems too posh (not a criticism) for the GMB audience. You know she'd be the sort of person that groups of mums would slag off for being a bit snobbish.
I sort of get the feeling the typical GMB audience is 30something mums with young children who play bingo online and gossip about neighbours. (The ones you see in the Bingo adverts).

Never watched GMB, so I'm guessing they still haven't learnt what the big and little hands tell.
Interesting how the BBC have simply taken Breakfast off the air for Election Friday, whereas ITV has decided to run GMB. I expect ratings for GMB will increase a lot, just because Breakfast isn't on.

Charlotte has just tweeted that she is back on GMB with Ella Rose tomorrow, only a brief visit I presume.

That will be nice. Ella Rose will get to see her Auntie Susanna, Uncle Ben and Uncle Dickie
Perhaps she'll also mention when she plans on returning full time.
Would have thought Charlotte would have left her appearance until next week with GMB making it 1yr on air.

Has GMB scared off the party leaders or is there some other reason that they are appearing on lorraines show this week?

GMB don't have any heavyweight interviewers at all and Lorraine certainly isn't one.Tony Blair used to say GMTV was his favourite programme because they gave him such an easy ride by comparison with the BBC.

Because they all want the political and intellectual challenge of the Lorraine brain? 😸

I doubt it, the GMB team looks very lightweight up against Huw Edwards and the BBC big guns.
