Piers Morgan has hit out at the “woke brigade” in one of his latest tweets on social media platform Twitter.

He then added: “If you don’t agree with them, they want to kill you.”

It’s not the first time Piers has referenced death threats.

Back in February, police launched an investigation after Piers was targeted by trolls on social media.

He was told: “You’re getting killed,” while his son Spencer was also on the receiving end of the threats.

Another added: “Agreed, disgusting and should never happen.”

‘You all need to do better’

However, others slammed Piers – and his comments about the Duchess of Sussex that led to the end of his career at GMB.

“Her comments were disgusting. Your comments were disgusting. Their response is disgusting. You all need to do better,” said one Piers follower.

Another added: “Don’t be ridiculous Piers. Woke means just wanting equality and justices for all. Aren’t those things every decent person should want?”
