After the release of the Partygate report which found the ex-PM had misled Parliament, James O'Brien showed no mercy in this obliterative monologue directed and him and his defenders.

As a grandad who has only ever voted labour, I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to Boris for exposing the Tory party for what it truly is, as he could never have gotten away with his corrupt behaviour without the rest of the Tories aiding and abetting him.

Boris should be in prison, along with half the Tory party

Watching James tear Boris Johnson to shreds is always satisfying to watch.

Brilliant summary from James regarding the right-wing media circus who are consistently rolled out to defend the likes of British Trump

[RataStuey]

This was cathartic and so necessary. Thank you for articulating how the majority of the world feels James

[MrBoizera]

I'm from Brazil and I live in Brazil. I would never in a million years have imagined how UK politics would resemble our third-world politics. It's actually bewildering.

I've never heard James being this angry. And I agree with every single word.

[benjysshed]

What's incredible to me is that there are people in the world who didn't 100% know this was what he was always like.

One of the saddest and most terrible thing about this is that you have people defending him. These are the people who would say they are on the side of law and order and decency. Hypocrites . They have the tendency to be criminals

[robertgreen]

Even though the report is definitive Rees Mogg and his other cronies many of whom were rewarded in the honours list are still saying he's innocent. How can they be allowed to do that without facing criminal charges. It's just the belief that if you keep telling lies for long enough people will believe the lies. The people telling the lies should also be held accountable

[AndyFromYorkshire]

I don't know what is worse - the lying former PM or those coming to his defence. Why the BBC finds it necessary to give these fools airtime is beyond me. I used to be an advocate and supporter of the BBC, but no more.

[terryroots]

Well said, James. What a shame that Britain has become a place where a rant such as this is absolutely justified. We need a complete overhaul of political institutions and media standards.

[eddievanbasten]

Don’t forget the members of Boris’ party that were prepared to on the news programs daily and tell the audience that Boris wasn’t a liar.

[ianmarshall]

James my friend. I salute you. A brilliant summation of the body politic and the media as a whole. Thank you 🙏

[glenstevenson]

It's like being found guilty in court then accusing the judge is his fault I blame the voters for enabling this mess

[Oushi]

When thinking about the green discharge of a man that Boris Johnson is. I believe F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote it best when describing some of the rich & powerful in our society. "They were careless people, …they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."

[Ukbrummie]

Incredible. James absolutely nailed this one

[gardino]

One of the most articulate, passionate, damning pieces of radio I have ever heard. An incredible summary of what Boris Johnson is, the damage he has done and along with his enablers, continues to do.

[derekbeauchamp]

You were fantastic James. You said the whole truth and nothing but the truth, well said !!
