Susanna Reid shuts down Piers Morgan's Women's March joke



"You know you sit next to a feminist every morning, right?"



We're not exactly shocked that Piers Morgan has been making jokes about the Women's March. After all, just days ago he called sports presenting "a man's job", and he's often referred to Donald Trump as a "friend".
That said, his tweets about yesterday's marches are infuriating to say the least, and co-host Susanna Reid wasted no time in shutting his comments down.
Piers began with this:
It seems the This Morning host was unaware that the marches taking place were not women-only. Men were also marching for women's rights and standing up to misogyny, because they recognise that equality is in all of our interests.
He continued: "I'm planning a 'Men's March' to protest at the creeping global emasculation of my gender by rabid feminists. Who's with me?"
It's a shame that Piers thinks women, men and children were marching for the sole purpose of emasculating him, but it's good to see Susanna speak up over his tweets.
She simply wrote: "You know you sit next to a feminist every morning, right? @piersmorgan".
Many others - including Lily Allen, who wrote "fuck off" to Piers - have criticised the host for his tweets, branding him "embarrassing" and "insecure". Now, who's betting things will be pretty awkward on the This Morning sofa this week?
Yep, us too.

Jane the Virgin Season Finale Recap: The Wedding of Jane Gloriana Villanueva

Ivonne Coll as Alba, Gina Rodriquez as Jane, Andrea Navedo as Xo. If I could write this whole recap with emojis, there'd be several varieties of hearts, the running man, the dancing woman, and lots and lots of fires and heart-eyed faces. Those creepy dancing twin girls would also make an appearance. And there'd be a gun. My imaginary emoji recap is appealing because it's incredibly hard to come away from a blockbuster hour of television like "Chapter Forty-Four" and pull together coherent thoughts that aren't just "AHHH!" or "WHY would you get ICE for the DAMN CHAMPAGNE?!" or "OMG FACE OFF MASK!" or "Why isn't all of life just Jane and Rogelio doing that father/daughter dance forever?" But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j...

The Zipless, First-Person Violence of “Hardcore Henry”

The movie’s hyperkinetic action was shot using tiny GoPros. CREDIT STX ENTERTAINMENT / COURTESY EVERETT Raised from a watery chamber resembling a womb, Henry, a full-grown man, looks out on the world as if for the first time. Viewers see Henry’s world through his own eyes (which is how all of “Hardcore Henry” is made), and his prospects seem circumscribed. Henry finds himself in a hospital-like setting; he’s unable to speak, and he’s missing an arm and a leg. In short order, however, a medical professional named Estelle (Haley Bennett) fits him with high-tech prostheses, which she snaps into place, attaches to his body, and covers with a coating of his own skin. Henry is also suffering from memory loss, and Estelle reminds him of one detail: they’re husband and wife. When armed invaders breach the operating room, Henry discovers what Estelle already knew—that they’re someplace in the sky, inside an airplane—and husband and wife clamber through vents to reach a conveniently located ...
