Good morning. It's three minutes after ten and you are listening to James O'Brien on LBC.

I don't know, really. Let's imagine the response from Gillian Keegan and her colleagues

if a Labour MP had attended a meeting with her having tested positive. They'd be baying for blood.

Well, it doesn't mean you have to behave like them. This is the great tragedy of British politics at the moment. Would you believe the Daily Mail is trying to turn Boris Johnson's life? I mean, you've got to try to turn Boris Johnson's lies about Kirstama. They're trying to somehow make it Labour's fault by dredging up, in David Lamy's case, completely without context.

conspiracy theory,

rendering David Lammy, Angela Rainer and one other, I'll tell you it is actually,

because it's so hilarious. I don't know whether this is going to land,

but they really have had a rush of blood to the head in the last couple of months.

The point, of course, being that what do you do if you have to defend Boris Johnson?

Chris Bryant has been accused of swearing at the Speaker,

which is just the same as a Prime Minister using a dead child sex offender to dishonestly malign the leader of the opposition.

So you be careful, Chris Bryant, using a naughty word, allegedly, to the speaker,

because that is the reason why Boris Johnson had no choice but to tell a foul lie about a child sex

abuser designed entirely to undermine the reputation of the leader of the opposition. And when
