This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation with James O'Brien.

Hello, three minutes after ten. I'm going to give you fair warning in advance. This is the last time we will spend three hours together

for a week.

Keith, honestly, put the party poppers away.

I'm off next week, so quick heads up.

Quick warning to possibly listen even more intently than you usually do.

Or, of course, if you're in the process currently of switching off your radio, a quick reminder that you don't need to do that next week,

because Matt Fry will be here steering you through the major stories of the moment.

Four minutes after, ten is the time.

And speaking of the major stories of the moment, where to start?

I will be wading in, I think, first and quickly to Matt Hancock's continuing

to avails. And I've got that problem again. I've got to stop laying this on you every single

morning. I've got that problem again where I'm really interested in the question of why

even if he was to be blown sky high and busted from here to eternity for lying about care homes and testing, as Dominic Cummings has alleged, as a result of this current period of British politics, which doesn't actually track back to 2016.

That was my Brexit blinkers, I think, kicking in a bit early today.

Pretty Patel still got fired for lying, didn't

she, under the last Prime Minister, under Theresa May. That was, you know, back when Boris Johnson

was Foreign Secretary, a position from which he resigned. I can't quite remember why. It's

something to do with the fact that Theresa May's Brexit deal would be bad news for Northern Ireland

or bad news for the Union, wasn't it? Or I can't think. One forget. So we're weighed into that shortly. And two questions, I suppose.

Is he lying? Has he lied about this? And if so, what's Boris Johnson going to do about it?

Boris Johnson's middle name is liar.
