Piers Morgan

PIERS MORGAN become the latest person today to learn that you can never trust a Tory after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak backed out of their £1,000 deportation bet.

The celebrity TV presenter had wagered the floundering Prime Minister in the course of an interview on Monday that no flights deporting refugees to Rwanda would take off before the general election.

Mr Sunak shook hands on the wager, which was for £1,000 to be donated to a refugee charity.
