I agree with Lorraine. Without James I would have lost it many, many times. Thank you for doing your job with intelligence AND decency.

Hi James, if you do read these ever I just want to say what a wonderful person you've been for so many in the last few years. You are one of the few that is in the mainstream UK media that actually is able to speak with seem decency and honesty. I'm not awake when you are live but I am always watching these uploads. Please keep going.

Love the teachers passionate comments, those were the values I was raised with and raise my child by

It's generous of Bozo making a last-minute appearance and reminding millions why they hate the Tories.

Fantastic show as always ! Keep it up James!

Our Labor leader did the same in our last election here in Australia, he did not give the government at that time any ammunition, he ran a tight election campaign, did not react to any barbs and it drove them mad.

I remember that poor woman who couldn't get to her daughter who died by suicide. She was crying on Sheila Fogarty's show. For me, that was one of the things I'll never forget.

Having Boris Johnson the biggest liar ever in the tory party. rallying for tory for your support to the tories is like asking Doctor Harold Shipman too visit her in her hours of need. VERY DESPERATE

[nanslife]

Our Labor government here in Australia steered us through the GFC and was the only western economy that did not go into recession.

Loved the show, I'm so glad I found you . Liz, Warton UK 🇬🇧

Boris Johnson being wheeled out is exactly the same desperation Alan Partridge showed when trying to save his BBC career when he said, "Monkey Tennis?"

[paulburton]

Clearly those cheering him on weren't affected by his escapades while in office. Lockdown Party anyone?!

[margotweedir]

Anyone cheering for Boris is on another planet

[clarecollins]

Im not keen on haters but, i hate The Daily Mail! I also detest The Daily Telegraph and any other right wing newspaper.

[iainprendergast]

That’ll be the last time then, because they won’t exist after tomorrow.

[mickreaddin]

Labour could just play the latest Jonathan Pie video on a loop to show the levels of incompetence and depravity we have had to endure for 14yrs.

[Tom_murray]

The tories don’t give a dam about the country

[PuppetMastersTheatre]

This political year has motivated me into approaching societal and political action to help everyone out of the pit and bring us all together. We need renewed hope as a country.

[goldentundra]

Haven't been this excited since 1997, out dancing in a basement to indie tunes with a tiny tv in the corner, whole room cheering on the hoofing out of those next tuesdays last time, fingers crossed. Vote.

I have autism, and adult ADHD, a vegetable huh?
Let me tell you what this vegetable does day to day, I'm classed as unfortunately unfit for work, I don't like it, but that's the cards I'm dealt, luckily, I have a family id wanted my whole life and I'm able to game, so you might say what can I offer?
I have a physically disabled adopted mother, who's 55, was gonna vote reform, she's awaiting right hip surgery, has arthritis and fibromyalgia, and spinal stenosis, is on two sticks, we managed to work around my spontaneity of ADHD, and my routine of autism, minus my occasional anger outburst, to make a way so that I don't always have to interact, but so that I can help her, I have high level severe autism and severe adult ADHD, yet I manage to look after her, and 1% look after myself, autism is a very varied spectrum, yes there are an awful lot of people like me, worse off because they're mute, but to even insinuate that we cannot contribute to any part of life, or that we are nothing more than vegetables, is unimaginably disgusting, my mother will be voting differently tomorrow, and I couldn't be prouder of her, I've been sat here aghast for five minutes, and whether this is a bot, or some troll, it is absolutely horrifyingly disgusting, and immeasurably astounding.
