| 0:00.0 | Five minutes after ten is the time and you are listening to James O'Brien on LBC. |
| 0:04.9 | There's quite a lot to get through today. |
| 0:06.3 | I'm looking at the honours list of Boris Johnson's resignation honours. |
| 0:11.3 | There should be a sort of disgrace honours or a new name to describe the idea that you get to put people in the House of Lords even after being hounded out of office by your own colleagues. |
| 0:19.7 | But we are where we are. |
