Speaking to Cameron’s former director of communications Sir Oliver Craig, the Good Morning Britain broadcaster did not hold back.
He was heard grilling Sir Craig: “Your old boss David Cameron is writing a book at the moment, is the title going to be: ‘How I wrecked the country?’”
Sir Craig hit back: “I don’t think it’s going to be that. I think one of the things, to be fair to your question, is that he’s going to have deal with the fact the Brexit referendum put a bomb under politics and we’re still trying to pick up the pieces and work out where they’ve landed.”
However, Morgan was furious as he said: “I know where they’ve landed. They’ve landed all over the place.”
At the start of the interview, co-host Susanna Reid asked him: “Shortly after David Cameron announced a tactical vote, the EU referendum, thinking and hoping that he’d win. He lost, had to resign. It’s a pretty similar situation, isn’t it Craig? Does it revive memories for you?”
He responded: “A little bit. I think it’s similar in the sense that people went into something expecting to win and haven’t. But what’s really concerning is that nobody’s really won.
“The SNP haven’t done well, the Lib Dems haven’t done well. Labour are acting like they’ve won but as you were saying, they’ve actually got around 60 seats fewer than the Conservative Party. Of course Theresa May is the biggest loser, who hasn’t got that increased overall majority that she was going for.”
The fiery exchange comes as former UKIP leader Nigel Farage appeared on the ITV programme and hit out at the prime minster for her decision to hold a snap election.
“I was always told never trust a Tory. Piers, I am very angry this morning,” the MEP said.
“The UK was on course for Brexit and suddenly we may not be. If we don’t get the kind of Brexit people voted for, I’ll have no choice but to throw myself back into politics.”
He added: “I feel we triggered Article 50, we were on our way. There were no obstacles to us leaving the European Union, so I’m pretty annoyed that Theresa May has stopped that.”
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV at 6am.
