GMB host Piers Morgan appears to be absolutely fuming over Boris Johnson's decision about pubs reopening on Saturday from 6am.
Taking to Twitter, the Good Morning Britain star, 55, vented his disappointment in view of his 7.6 million followers.
A spokesperson for Boris said that the timing has been put in place to avoid pubs and bars opening at midnight on Friday.

The statement includes: "The reopening of pubs and bars specifically comes into force at 6am. That would just be in the event anybody would attempt to try to open at midnight."

"Does anyone at No10 have a brain? Or do they just want us all to die? Serious questions."
However, many Twitter users vehemently disagreed with Piers' sentiments.
Many argued that Piers was taking the announcement out of context.

One user argued: "ONLY pubs that have 24 hour licences to be open, and it's designed to stop them from opening at midnight tonight. Pubs that aren’t licensed to open at 6am will not be opening at 6am."

Another user claimed: "Remember that most pubs do breakfasts with tea and coffee... what’s wrong with opening that early?"
And a third user tweeted: "Think about it, longer they’re open from the less chance of everyone piling in at once, but eh let’s just attack the gov again cause it’s trendy."
