Emily Maitlis Throws Shade At Piers Morgan | Good Morning Britain

She's fabulous and she's one of the toughest interviewers on television and she just appeared on the show this

morning

wearing the same color that I quickly stated in my memoir. Airhead is said to be turned into a television comedy-drama. You must have a great literary agent, very, very. Good for you, obviously, can I talk to you about something in the papers today because I know you're going to have an opinion on this and you might not be allowed to say it? Wait, Darren, you would ask me the same thing that was on the news. This Jeremy Vine, what's going on, he's getting hit left, right and center because this case was taken on by the BBC, so obviously we all know that the BBC was operating and you were a victim of this BBC being operating. with scandalous and gender-unequal behavior towards female employees.

The BBC's argument is that as a news channel news programme, Jeremy Vayam is a long-running entertainment programme, it has a much bigger name. An argument that I think is perfectly reasonable. What do you think of all this? You could tell us the disparity between the two of you if you want. I don't know, actually, I don't know why not, don't you like transparency? No, we are not busy. I do not pay. I know a place where you don't pay our salary, so presumably it's a national or international problem. that we are all trying to understand and address and whether we need more transparency or not is clearly the big issue.

I don't think it's a Jeremy Vine problem. I think from what I understand you know that Samira has gone to court. Those who go to court don't do it willingly they don't do it because it's their first resort they do it because they've tried everything else that hasn't worked and you know as someone who has been in a similar position my heart goes out to her you know, I think it's a really important thing that she's doing and, in a way, fighting for other people who have received injustices and for every 700 thousand dollars in back payments because she wants to be paid the same as Jeremy Vine. he's a much bigger name, I mean, to me I don't quite understand the arm, the argument is that Hilda pays poorly for work of equal value and it's not equal value, well that's quite industrial, you know, I mean , I don't know.

I know I won't dislike the court case, but I think one of the things that's been discussed is the difference between news and entertainment. Now that you're an artist, Piers, you know we make news and I think you said that. I think overall it would be nice if those two were equally recognized, right? I don't know because I think star power has to play a factor even at the BBC, even in particular, it's always like making a nickel, cops. too and yet he's probably the best at what he does and could definitely make a lot more money.

The Linacre guy. Things are very different because you have been an expert in your field in what you do and you know how to hire an incredible. astronomer or someone who designed the Higden Bose to make a fantastic science program, you know, Gary Lineker plays for England, now he talks about something that he has perfect and therefore has star value. I get it, but that's not a difference between them. an entertainment show is not necessarily that he is an artist, it is that he is bringing the experience, the knowledge, the hardware, everything that he has experienced to the show.

Somehow I can see, I think you fell victim to all of this outrageously and were eventually dragged away kicking and screaming. direct assessment John Humphrey said here a few weeks ago and it is very interesting that he is clearly completely liberated but no longer has to be shackled by the BBC rules and has come out shooting everyone, not least the fact that basically everyone in the BBC are liberal and that is a problem for the corporation, do you think they are right? I don't know I know a lot of people who wouldn't I don't know what liberal means I've never personally met a conservative BBC employee In my life, what do you have behind you?

Because I have many conservatives. You're talking to an X B BC here and I, yes, I certainly work with people who have a conservator. Well, we had a physical plant, no, because I could build my house. I don't do some kind of diversity on the table, there are 48 of you in this picture tube, you always live, you have a big dining table, hey, happy to be a TV series, yeah, it's a very exciting size, let's give it to Jani a little name move because she's brilliant, our mutual literary agent, but it's a great book and it's actually the story of someone I see when I look at you.

I don't think about gender inequality or any of that stuff. I see a brilliant journalist. The problem with finishing the book because I just got the paperback out and the problem with finishing the book is that suddenly when you put down the pen you realize that it's still happening and you think, "Oh, I've written all these stories." incredible." and amazing, it's over a week after I finished, a guy shows up, we interview someone who wears a balaclava and I'm like, but we don't have rules about what people should wear and that's fine, come with a balaclava, that's all .

It'll be okay, slag, interesting talk and then at ten minutes past twenty-five to go on air, all the guests are there and we've got everyone sitting down and the guy in a balaclava isn't there and I'm like talking and you know. it's like you have the earpiece, you know he's trapped in BBC security, they didn't let him inject insulin with some kind of soft wrap, could you Lester not guess, but he's wearing a balaclava, yes, but he's on set, no , but he is wearing a balaclava, can you take off the balaclava? No, he can't wear it, he can't take off the balaclava.

We finally got it together in a great chat, really lovely, interesting, everyone is really excited. She was Jill Minister, she was right and she fought, and what it's all about having the big brown on her. You more or less know the violence in the streets and the politicians listen, they understand the real people and he makes this surprising comment that he picks up his glass and forgets that his mouth is open, there is no hole and we are all sitting here being really involved. in very tense and there is water to the bottom there is a poor guy with a balaclava on the ground and he does not appear in the book all the time with bread, sir and with Trump, have you ever known a more volatile and extreme tribal political atmosphere? from what we've known in both countries, yeah, I mean, I feel like it's so strange, I feel like we've taken the ball, you know, now I'm off the ball in the United States because we're going into what is going to be an absolutely fascinating election. over there. we have the first primaries coming up in January and I feel quite behind, we are starting a new election, you know, the elections in the United States cost the United States in January to see the whole thing there, but of course it is and and Almost you get tired of saying it because now it's the new normal and actually what we have to do now I think is not so, oh, isn't it frustrating?

Oh, that key detail is still in the details and really helps people. find a way because there's really no point in all of us getting frustrated right before I let you go back to my original question, is he going to play you in the TV event, yeah, I mean come on, who is he and what is he playing you in? your series well, I don't know, I'm starting to talk to the writers with us, the people Anniston and Lonnie, I love Carey Mulligan, I like Jesse Buckley, I know what's behind you, Carol Vorderman, it's a pleasure to see you, many Thanks, we're talking. how can I get myself flowing, okay, yeah, exactly at one point I took myself off, but Emily Maitlis' Airhead is going to be a fabulous TV series to watch you keep doing your brilliant things.

I'm sure we'll see a lot of you in the election.
