It's three minutes after ten, and you're listening to James O'Brien on LBC. A very good morning to you. It's a funny old world, isn't it? Rishi Sunak is now as unpopular, as Boris Johnson was, when Boris Johnson, due largely to his unpopularity, was compelled to resign as Prime Minister. It's this sort of great myth abroad that he was popular. Even when he won a big majority at the election, his personal popularity ratings weren't that high i'm talking about johnson now not sunak but sunak felt briefly like a breath of fresh air didn't he i know he was chancellor i know that the i probably the person most grateful for the it's a weird one't it? If you're Rishi Sunak at the moment,

you'll be breathing a sigh of relief that the Rwanda store... On one level, you'll be breathing a big sigh of relief that the Rwanda mess is dominating the news agenda, because it's distracted loads of attention from your shaggy-style defence at the COVID inquiry. If you haven't been following or you didn't follow Rishi Sunax testimony at the COVID inquiry,

you should know that he can't remember anything. I seriously can't even remember. He can't

remember, he can't remember, he can't remember, he probably can't remember whether he probably can't

remember whether he can't remember whether he can't remember whether he remembered to go to the

COVID inquiry, such is the state of Rishishishanak's memory. He probably can't remember whether he remembered to go to the COVID inquiry, such is the state of Rishi Sunak's memory. He probably can't remember whether he remembered to attend the COVID inquiry

and what he could remember when he remembered to remember to go, such is the state. If you think

Swiss cheese has a lot of holes in it, you should meet Rishi Sunak's memory. And he doesn't

just not remember things, sometimes to just to just to just to

stuff up a bit. He can't recall. I can't remember. I can't keep saying I can't remember. I've got to say something other than I can't. Oh, I know. I can't recall. I can't recall. I can't recall. I can't recall. I do five cart recalls and then I'll go back to the can't remember. I don't remember. I don't remember. I don't remember. I don't recall. Someone should put it all together in a little

someone already has. I may play it to you later.

So on one level, he'll be quite relieved that the Rwanda debacle, which almost undermined, well, briefly.

The problem is with Mark Francois... God, how long have you got?

The problem is with this country, that when you arrive in a position in which Mark Francois,

because of course he likes to style himself these days as a mafia don,

so we will call him Marco Gambonbino Francois, Francoe, Francoe, Francois, Zoe,

you see him in a position of influence.

However briefly and misplaced it may be, you know we've got problems.

You see Marco Gambino, Franco, Franco, Prancino, Franco, pushing himself to the front of the cameras.

I don't know if you saw them yesterday.

They're almost like, eventually there will be 350 separate groups within the parliamentary Conservative Party,

every one of them with a quote, because this is an official designation, a very important leader, end quotes.
