James O’Brien explains how the ‘over-promotion of halfwits’ fed into the current soap opera
Thoughts and prayers go out to senior civil servant Sue Gray, who is currently trying to complete the Whitehall investigation version of cutting the heads off the Hydra, as new issues keep springing up from the old one.
Sue Gray is the new Godot

After Dominic Cummings’ insistence that he would testify that the PM was warned about the 20th of May gathering being illegal, Ms Gray will interview the former SpAd as part of the neverending inquiry.

On Tuesday morning, LBC’s James O’Brien tried to put the broader situation into some sort of context, and the resulting rant bordered on the sublime.
It’s seven minutes long, but worth every second.
Listeners have branded this James O'Brien’s best monologue yet as he explains every twist and turn of the deceit and dishonesty engulfing the government.@mrjamesob pic.twitter.com/qajUhyoQhL

This explanation of the state of play between Johnson and Cummings shines a light on how closely the corridors of power resemble a soap opera. At least in the UK.
“Through a combination of a ridiculous newspaper industry, the over-promotion of halfwits, a political underclass that have careered to the front benches of the Conservative Party, and the celebration of some of the stupidest people ever to draw breath in Parliament, we’ve ended up with these two men presiding over our nation until the point one of them fell foul of the other’s wife.”
“This is beyond Albert Square.”
It really hit the sweet spot.
This really is tremendous. "And you're still waving your little flags and claiming you're patriotic for supporting these people. Oh, 'let's play the national anthem' and forget about the fact they've brought the country to its knees while arguing over who's the bigger liar." ~AA https://t.co/rE2uKkFNBR

James O'Brien speaks for me.
There is nothing to add to this. https://t.co/Iw81wZiCwG— Richard Zybert (@richardzybert) January 18, 2022
Yeah, I concur.
This by @mrjamesob is just a superb summary of the lamentable place this country is in. https://t.co/PUm5RPkYoo

This is a cracking diatribe from James O'Brien. Nails Johnson, Cummings, and the right wing press. https://t.co/4zVIEXdEmk

Alexa? Define "righteous anger".
Beautifully visceral monologue from @mrjamesob, capturing every ounce of rage I feel for the Tories. https://t.co/lfgmvK6DrP

We’ll leave the last word to James O’Brien.
I still don't know what they think they won.
