Three minutes after ten is the time. A very good morning indeed to you. And our unofficial role as the chronicler in chief of the national decline assumes a new momentum today with the elevation to the deputy chairmanship of the Conservative Party of a politician who it is almost impossible to do justice to. I'm not sure that a thesaurus contains enough words to describe the unsuitability

of this man for political office, never mind for an actual promotion under Rishi-Soonak.

And I will ask you why you think 30P Lee Anderson has been made Deputy Chairman of the Conservative

Party. In fact, I've already asked you. But you know how it works. I will indulge myself

for a moment before opening the floor to you. But you know how it works. I will indulge myself for a moment before

opening the floor to you. Off the top of my head, he is the plum who pledged not to watch England play

football because before they started playing football, they were going to take the knee in protest at racism. You know, down with

that sort of thing. He actually publicly stated, I'm not going to watching, we hadn't heard of him

at that point. Those were the days. I looked back fondly on the period of my life when I was

unaware of Lee Anderson's existence and I think that's what brought him into my consciousness.

An England football fan who wouldn't watch England play because England players chose to take the knee as part of the Black Lives Matter movement.

That's what brought him to our attention.

Other hits include the insistence that nurses who were visiting food banks must have budgeting problems

because they earned more than £30,000 a year.

I wonder how you would describe a Prime Minister on 130 or 40,000 pounds a year,

needing an 800 grand loan off a distant cousin.

If budgeting problems explain why nurses use food banks,

what would 30P Lee use to describe Boris Johnson, I wonder? And then, of course, that 30P comment

infamously was about why food banks aren't really necessary. No one's really poor or hungry,

and he could prove it by feeding a family of 306 on 30p a day.

I forget the exact details.

But that's the measure of the man.
