Since Piers Morgan quit Good Morning Britain, there has been a mix-up of presenters with no one apart from Susanna Reid having set days. Today, Kate Garraway was joined by Adil Ray OBE to


host the show and less than an hour in, a row had ensued between the presenters and their guest, Rachel Reeves MP, over the Labour party calling for a “proper inquiry” to look into David


Cameron and the Greensill lobbying scandal. Those watching at home accused Adil of trying to be like Piers with his hard and bombastic interview technique.  Reeves said: “We’ve got a vote in


the House of Commons today and that’s an opportunity for MPs in all Parties to vote to have a proper inquiry, a special select committee of parliament set up to look at what’s happened with


Greensill.  “But actually, it’s much, much wider than this, it’s about lobbying, it’s about sleaze, cronyism and corruption and it’s about access to ministers.  “Not because of what you’ve


got to bring to the table, but because of whose telephone number you’ve got, what contact lists you’ve got.  “It’s not the way that government should be done, it’s undermining faith in our


democracy,” she added.  READ MORE: PRINCE PHILIP’S SCATHING LETTER TO ALAN TITCHMARSH OVER BLUNDER “Now, if it’s the case that Cameron didn’t break the rules, I think that says something


about the rules and that those rules need to change so there is proper transparency so we can see what former ministers and prime ministers are doing. “And if they are lobbying, they should


have to declare that work and they should have to declare those meetings and the contents of those meetings,” the MP continued. “That would be a simple thing to change.” Taking to Twitter to


comment, one said: “#GMB I am now turning over to the bbc breakfast as I can no longer stand listening to the row!”  “Oh dear! Adil Ray has been told to boost the ratings by pretending to


be Piers Morgan! #GMB,” someone suggested.  However, the opposition suggests the probe has “all the hallmarks of a Conservative cover-up”.  The former Prime Minister started working for


Greensill Capital in 2018 - two years after he left Downing Street.  He contacted several ministers on the company’s behalf, including current Chancellor Rishi Sunak with the communication


relating to government loans during the pandemic.  Cameron insists he did not break any codes of conduct or rules on lobbying - which are attempts to influence government policy - and he


welcomes the investigation launched by Johnson.
