Piers Morgan: Why do we want someone like Ruth Kelly controlling our children? She's the scariest woman I've ever seen in politics.
Morgan was arguably the best-known national newspaper editor since his good friend Kelvin MacKenzie edited the Sun in the 1980s.
Piers Morgan left Rupert Murdoch's News of the World to become Editor of the arch-rival Daily Mirror. A position he held until May 2004, when Morgan was sacked following the Mirror's publication of fake photographs of soldiers seemingly abusing Iraqis.
In June 2005, Piers Morgan and Matthew Freud bought the UK Press Gazette.
He attended boarding school but moved on to a comprehensive and sixth-form college.
He was named after racing driver Piers Courage.
In 2003 he presented a three part television documentary series for the BBC titled The Importance of Being Famous, about fame and the manner in which celebrities are covered by modern media.
Piers is married to Marion Elizabeth Shalloe and has 3 children.
