At the start of the pandemic, Piers vowed to pay all parking fines sent into him from NHS staff members who had been charged for working to save lives.helped scrap the fees shortly afterwards, it’s now been revealed that NHS staff members are now going to be charged again as they ‘couldn’t cover them forever’.
Slamming the government for ‘putting the boot in’ to hardworking heroes who have worked hard throughout the pandemic, Piers has made a new vow to help end staff fees for good.Speaking on GMB, he said: ‘They stuck the boot into the entire care sector, who had all been risking their lives for months to save people’s lives then Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock remembered Oh, hang on. There’s another group that we can kick as a reward.
He then promised to go toe-to-toe with the government in a new campaign to scrap fines for NHS staff for good. The news was welcomed by viewers who work on the frontline, with a student nurse revealing they were being charged £9 a day to work because they didn’t qualify for a doctors’ permit.Another revealed they were charged £50 a month for staff parking, which was more than half a mile away from the actual hospital.
Piers later added that after his initial pledge to pay off parking tickets, he had received 39 in total from workers amid the pandemic, including intensive care doctors and specialists.
piersmorgan You kept trying to give gov ministers a kicking but it’s not working. Now we’re getting a break from you they might appear on GMB to be questioned by credible interviewers who’ll let them speak!
piersmorgan petition needs to get up and running these are disgraceful,money grabbers it needs to stop nobody should be trying to park when you going hospital last thing on my mind is where will i park freeparkingisamust🚗🚕
piersmorgan Wow how many deluded muppets follow you you need to get your information correct the parking charges are agreed by the nhs and the car park owners nothing to do with government. If piersmorgan looses his job he can join you
piersmorgan NHS worker 1 decided after taking into account parking, insurance etc they should use public transport. NHS worker 2 decided to keep their car and pay for benefit. So if we do away with parking worker 2 will effectively get a cash benefit worker 1 does not is that fair ?
piersmorgan He going to pay or just talk about it non stop? Just curious
piersmorgan - If there is one thing that the Coronavirus has taught us, is that Our NHS Staff are vital to our Wellbeing & as such, they should be permanently exempt from paying Car Parking at all NHS Hospitals around the whole of the UK.
piersmorgan Want to rant on university hospitals Leicester? They're rushing through a down banding of staff during this pandemic?...NHS 'heroes' being fleeced whilst they're on the front line and expected to carry on or move on. Recouping the cost of the nurses pay rise. nhs skint
piersmorgan piersmorgan where is the petition you mentioned on GMB? I'd love to sign before it's too late to do anything about it.
piersmorgan Complete wankers!
piersmorgan Piers just looking for attention because he has bought GMB tonite knees
piersmorgan You do realise northern Ireland government are doing the same , yes?
piersmorgan Lying again in parliament today “Britains Trump” Johnston copied”Liar in Chief “Trump whose writers nicknames hide his incompetence.”Rocket Man,Crooked Hillary”, “Crazy Bernie” and racist Pocahontas! So Johnston’s,Trumps rent boy,joint approach continues UK65000 USA 130000 dead.
piersmorgan Labour introduced the charges
piersmorgan
piersmorgan You can pay it.. like you said you would
piersmorgan Has piers anything to say on all the good things announced. Or is he only concerned with moaning away. God he’s a pain in the ass.
piersmorgan I agree that the NHS shouldn't have to pay to park where they work. Nor should I as i worked as a key worker during the lock down. So did thousands of other people. The point is the government put the boot in by not paying them enough. Free parking is a minor issue. payrise
piersmorgan Thank goodness you are off the telly for a while. I can start watching breakfast telly again !!! Another one of your views I totally disagree with !!
piersmorgan Nobody should have to pay to park at a hospital.
piersmorgan You still here thought you was leaving this horrible country or won’t anyone else have you and your fat loud mouth
piersmorgan What they getting rewarded for.... doing their job?
piersmorgan NHS parking for staff should be free. But it is NHS trusts that implement the charging etc and not government. The Gov provided a 'grant' to cover the cost of parking during the crisis but this expires at some point, hence the new outcry. Perhaps put pressure on the Trusts?
piersmorgan 🤬
piersmorgan It’s a disgrace the NHS saved his life and this us the thank you. All that fake clapping outside number 10 and he knew all the time he was going to screw health care workers. No PPE then blames them for the deaths now it’s give me my dividends and go get infected. Heartless.
piersmorgan This is disgusting
piersmorgan Interesting that this pops up as the hospitals are starting to allow visitors again.
piersmorgan It’s the Nhs Trust that did this Piers but carry on bashing the government
piersmorgan The government don’t have anything to do with parking and well you know fuckwit , it’s down to the nhs trust , you just love being a
piersmorgan Rubbish as usual
piersmorgan Scotland scrapped the carpark charges in 2008 Tories could do the same if they wanted
piersmorgan You waited for this earn it see what happens😉👍
piersmorgan BorisJohnson MattHancock The Not So Dynamic Duo. Who are these masked Privaledged people?
piersmorgan I think it’s disgusting what the government doing to nhs doctors and nurses about parking if there a list to sign I want to be there There the ones save peoples lives not the government
piersmorgan Metro, unbiased journalism as usual 😂.
piersmorgan Why shouldn't they pay to park though ,if you work in a town or city and have to drive and park you have to pay it's no different
piersmorgan Already reinstated at Hillingdon hospital (BorisJohnson MP) apparently the govt stopped it in May/June.
piersmorgan Oh and again, NHS trusts and foundation trusts are responsible for setting their own car parking policies for patients, visitors and staff
piersmorgan W⚓️
piersmorgan Define NHS heroes? It’s a local trust thing not central gov. 1.3m people work in and around the NHS & many more already have free or heavily subsidised parking. What about the patients, many of whom have real mobility issues?
piersmorgan So why shouldn't they pay to park? I have to pay to park when I go to work they are doing a job for which they are paid like everyone else. The pandemic is not affecting hospitals now. If things change reintroduce free parking. Why don't you pay for it for the next 12 months
piersmorgan I just watched piers morgan
piersmorgan THE NASTY PARTY
piersmorgan Tomm I’m park your car at £3.50p/he is extrortionate and almost 1/3 of a nurses hourly salary. If corps must charge, why not a day rate or a monthly/yearly pass that staff on opposite shifts can share? Railways offer strangers more
piersmorgan The decision on whether to charge NHS staff for car parking rests wholly with the NHS Trusts. They have the power to decide it’s not for Government. It would be very easy for the Trusts to issues a car parking pass to staff to enable them free parking.
piersmorgan Take a petrol disc cutter to the meters actions speak louder than Twitter
piersmorgan Steady on knight in shinig armour it aint happened yet piersmorgan
piersmorgan CLA(M)P for NHS Staff.
piersmorgan (1) borisjohnson tries to scapegoat care homes. (2) 10downingstreet puts out statement about what he 'really meant.' (3) matthancock defends Johnson in parliament using the same defence. (4) Johnson and Hancock heap praise on the care sector. keir_starmer jonashworth UK
piersmorgan That's because they are wankers
piersmorgan Some are privately owned car parks - Morgan needs to get his facts straight before spouting forward with his rubbish! Is he going to pick up the cost of the private car parks? Is he going to campaign for the NHS like he did when supporting BLM protests with no social distancing.

piersmorgan The Government don't impose these charges. They simply suggested the car parks should be free for a while & the NHS agreed. Why are you blaming Boris & Matt?
piersmorgan But it's nothing to do with the Government, the car parks are owned by the NHS Trust and they have it managed by private parking companies. Every NHS trust could provide free staff parking but they don't.
piersmorgan Allot of car parks are not owned by the Hospital or Trust due to PFI. So Piers wants our tax £££’s to go to some faceless Yank Pension Fund Typical.
piersmorgan They’re retro taxing them too, but no one wants to talk about that 😏.
piersmorgan get it right staff dont pay at machines about 15 from salary
piersmorgan Just get them to contact you so you can pay all the fines problem solved piersmorgan
piersmorgan Thank you for everything you have done to help the NHS staff
piersmorgan That is why the NHS staff & the other vital workers during the lockdown should have downed tools. For the first time in a long time working people had the whip hand over the torys. The threat of a mass walkout would have crippled them. Great opportunity missed to change things.
piersmorgan
piersmorgan Piers, investigate and report on why Cummings has so much power and influence? Who own Cummings? Where and why all the money is sneaking out to 'govt friends' tenders for PPE and IT? How the English public can get rid of the Tiry Govt? Which Tories are willing to turn on cabinet?
piersmorgan So parking could be given free in a pandemic now it’s calmed down the government don’t valve nhs workers , if they can give it free for months they can do it forever , no pay rise , but this free could go along way to genuinely show you really care and thankful dotherightthing
piersmorgan It was always wrong! Paying to park at your work! Its not asda shopping. So before they save your life or mine mind they need to pay before they do this its ludicrous! and always has been. X
piersmorgan Blair and Labour introduced the hospital parking charges in early 2000. They promised to remove them but never did. The day after leaving office Labour complained about the unfair charges Doesn’t make it right but let’s get the historical content correct before pointing fingers
piersmorgan If you watch the B.B.C Dame Nicky Morgan has just denied your claim and said there are no plans to start charging.
piersmorgan Why not give the bin men free parking they worked through the pandemic or how about teachers they were still working with the children of key workers etc etc guess they don't make headlines
piersmorgan Just looked at the Doomsday Clock I keep in my hallway and it says its 12:21 Is that bad ?
piersmorgan Absolutely agree it's a despicable thing to do this government is a shambles and they should all resign BorisHasFailedTheNation
piersmorgan 👎👎
piersmorgan you don’t know what you are talking about when it comes to care homes I do I work in one these private ones are only run for profit so they should have had there own house in order
piersmorgan Sat here laughing at morgan thanking gmb saying been best journalist through pandemick sat up all night if he believes that best journalism he has serious issues hardly takes all night show clips bbc interviews.
piersmorgan Wouldn’t come as a shock if they did reinstate charges. This government don’t give a crap about anybody or anything except their own agenda.
piersmorgan 10DowningStreet and MattHancock totally tone deaf or just plain stupid to allow this move. All the clapping now meaningless from these two who once again show a crass disregard for the core of the NHS.
piersmorgan Just another distraction from DC, he is just ensuring that the debate does not return to Brexit. The UK cannot now ask to extend so he is on course for the no deal Brexit he desires.
piersmorgan Dear piers the NHS are an Amazing Army Fighting an Invisibil Enamey.
piersmorgan The “nasty party” is well and truly back.....
piersmorgan They charge visitors to stop people parking all day abusing it when they go elsewhere shopping and work
piersmorgan We all love u Kate. Keep strong 😁
piersmorgan piersmorgan I think we should also ask who runs the car parks. I think many are private. If you offer all staff free car parking, people may choose to drive rather than get PT and then you have car parks full of staff so where do patients visitors park? It’s not one sided!
piersmorgan On BBC nicky Morgan said that this was fake news....no plans to reintroduce charges....
piersmorgan It’s just spin to deflect BorisHasFailedTheNation comments on care homes
piersmorgan Thanks for your excellent work on gmb over the pandemic been a pleasure watching have a nice summer break
piersmorgan Hospital car parks were sold off to the private sector (along with cleaning services, portering, etc) ages ago. Therefore, they no longer come under the direct influence of the government. So, better argument from Piers would be for hospital parking to be brought back in house.
piersmorgan What’s worse is that half the car parks are empty now they have put the barriers back down.
piersmorgan Fake news again
piersmorgan Local authorities and private firms awarded the contracts by these authorities run the parking. Thankfully Piers will get another opportunity to pay all the fines again. Not that he paid any the first time he vowed he would.
piersmorgan Piers Morgan does not have a clue!!!! Does he realise that a private company run and manage car park fees. That company should not charge the NHS staff. Car parking fees nationally are way too high
piersmorgan This is not the case and more of Piers Morgan’s lies and fabrications, why not report the facts and stop feeding Piers irresponsible agendas
piersmorgan Complete and utter wankers
piersmorgan 30% charge but it’s a NHS trust issue. The gov didn’t fund the free parking. The trusts did themselves in cooperation with the private companies who own and run the parking
piersmorgan It's all.about money for them. They are no doubt profiting from this entire charade.
piersmorgan Piers Morgan the hypocrite trying to be a hero, all the talk about is Matt Hancock, you are obsessed with him. You would never be able to Govern, you would go Bankrupt
piersmorgan It feels wrong to charge parking to people who saved countless lives via their efforts and dedications. It's as simple as that really. BorisHasFailedTheNation
piersmorgan The Govt don’t run NHS car parks of course. More lies from Piersy. ScumMedia
piersmorgan Rubbish, the fees have not been reinstated yet! In addition the Government did not stick the boot in to the entire care sector at all. You only promote bad news Piers
piersmorgan Your language says just what sort of person you are
piersmorgan They haven't actually reintroduced parking charges though have they....m
piersmorgan Seems you are posting fake news again Piers, where have you got your information from? A reliable source?
piersmorgan At least this tiresome agenda of thraking the government will soon be over when you and polly clear off....
piersmorgan Bump: Hospital Parking permits for NHS staff ranges from £360-500 per year depending on the Trust, that's akin to between £6.90 - £9.61 per week... Show me ANYWHERE in London you can get parking for £0.98 - £1.37 per day? Anyone who thinks that's expensive? Can get fucked!
