Interviewer: 'Mr Johnson, out of all the lies you've ever told, which one is your favourite?'
Johnson: 'I've never told any lies.'
Interviewer: 'Yes, that's my favourite, too.'

I'm ashamed of this country .I say this as a veteran .
Because of this government I spent 14 hours in A&E with my wife waiting for a scan .I can honestly say that I have never felt or seen such despair or missery in one place in my life . Ashamed doesn't come near to it .

"He says what gets him through the next 5 seconds." Nailed it, James.

I follow this from NZ and here's my take: Nothing will change in Britain until you bring down this government with a general strike, consign the Conservative Party to the dustbin of history where it so rightfully belongs and elect a government that puts people before privilege and money. May the force be with you. Listen to you on Global Radio app, James, keep going mate!!

The sight of Johnson trying to gaslight the committee into believing the rules and guidance meant something other than what everyone in the country understood them to mean at the time was truly astonishing.

The biggest scandal is where the £37 billion went for test and trace. £37 billion!!!

I watched Boris Johnson being questioned by MPs earlier today. He lied all the way through it.

[authentickidd]

Reminds me of The Emperor's New Clothes... my dad was very frail in 2020 and I listened to what the guidelines were and followed them carefully, not visiting but trying to talk to him on the phone every day... he died alone and my heart is still broken! Boris and his cronies were partying and ignoring the rules they had set, shame on them!

Honestly, feel like these people should be in jail for what they’ve done.. how do you get away with causing so much harm?? It was never in the public’s interest!

[scagzy]

Thanks James, I have to listen to your show to keep me sane

[Iybraesil]

HE said he didn't lie to the house. That itself is literally a lie.

[tomthumb]

Johnson makes my skin crawl and always has done. I must be different from so many of my fellow countrymen and women. Luckily, there are probably more people like me than the media suggest.

[connorohoare]

I’ll be honest this is how Iv felt for the last few years! I’m glad to hear someone speaking publicly how I’m feeling !

[lobintool]

Many thanks for trying to explain the mess we are in! You do it much better than I could. I'm so grateful you are doing it on my behalf!

[nicholashill]

They can't call him a liar in the house of commons how ridiculous is that!

[ThomasKing]

What's really shocking is how many people still support boris. How has this country fallen so low?

[ImzelM]

Narcicists with power, nothing is more dangerous than that.

[themaskedsinger.]

Never lie to someone who trusts you, and never trust someone who lies to you....

[ajamcb]

Absolutely fabulous JOB, needed saying!

[peterk]

I'm seriously done with the UK James, if I could uproot and take all my family abroad with me I'd leave tomorrow! The system is broken!
