James O'Brien's reaction to Boris Johnson's partygate Commons apology | LBC

This is James O'Brien's withering take on Boris Johnson's contemptible Jimmy Savile slur against Keir Starmer.

"The scenes in the House of Commons yesterday, have no place in a functioning democracy," said James O'Brien as he summed up Boris Johnson's performance when addressing MPs in the wake of the Sue Gray report.

James said the way in which the Prime Minister "infects" everyone and everything he comes into contact with has, in the last few weeks has "extended to the Metropolitan Police service and our sovereign Parliament."

"Some of the comments he made yesterday, in response to the best speech, by some distance, of Keir Starmer's career, are beneath contempt, regardless of your politics."

Yesterday, Boris Johnson attempted to divert attention away from partygate as he addressed MPs by bringing up Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer's "failure to prosecute" Jimmy Savile, who died in 2011 before reports of his grotesque abuse came to light, before going into politics.
