Piers Morgan today tweeted that he was 'cancelling himself' from the Press Awards, which is run by industry body the Society of Editors
Piers Morgan today 'cancelled himself' from the Society of Editors Columnist of Year shortlist before 'some deranged wokie' tries to do it - after the organisation's director was forced out for defending the press against Meghan Markle's racism claims.
He tweeted today: 'I've been nominated in @EditorsUK awards as Columnist of the Year. Obviously, some deranged wokie is now going to make a fuss about this & demand I be cancelled from the shortlist, to make a name for themselves. So before they do, I am cancelling myself. Remove my nomination.'
