Piers Morgan to advise Lib Dems
Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg has made a "surprise appointment", according to the
Huffington Post, by hiring Piers Morgan in a media-consulting role ahead of the next general election.
The new website noted that the former Mirror editor's show Piers Morgan Live was cancelled in February, and its final show aired last Friday.
Huff Post quoted a senior Lib Dem figure saying: "Only a fool would think we could win it, but recruiting a man of Morgan’s gravitas and veracity is likely to give the party a clear advantage in the media campaign."
