When I got wind of the Russell Brand accusations on Fri morning I predicted his defence would be that this is a MSM attack on a free thinker. No. What it is is a brilliant piece of investigative journalism into someone who many always suspected was an utter sleazeball.
These lefty economists like @Peston have forgotten the fact that the Coalition government had to introduce austerity to clear up the mess that Labour left in. Remember the 'no money left' note. Peston grow up!
@Peston It's not only Johnson who knew that Starmer operates on the benefit of hindsight of the bleedin' obvious at the time.
But your comment is useful to again highlight your fawning support for Labour.
@mrjamesob Lairs come in all guises. Some are politicians, others are religious leaders but some invade our living rooms & work spaces through radio waves. Know what I mean. Through telling credible lies to an unsuspecting audience you have been given a platform for lying 3 hrs days.
@mrjamesob Hey, O'Brien you do this everyday of the week so this this one fat pot calling the kettle black. Telling lies and earning a living from them is not good for your health.
The BBC is obviously paying their presenters too much of tax payers money if they can afford to spend ยฃ35,000 for some sleazy pictures of a young lad. Depravity Rules OK.
Do the public - who pay for the BBC - have the right to know the name of the presenter accused of sending explicit images?
We asked Justice Secretary @AlexChalkChelt#KayBurley FC
The Committee of Privileges is a House of Commons committee. It simply does not have the power to sanction people who arenโt MPs. The House of Lords is an independent body. Once again it has embarrassed Parliament by not understanding basic law.
The idea I โintimidatedโ a committee of supposedly grown-up individuals is a nonsense. Worse frankly, it is defamatory of me and I suspect it is yet more snobbery directed at someone from the working class who has succeeded in life from these career politicians.
Based on their โlogicโ they are intimidating me and committing contempt of the House of Lords. If they donโt want people noticing they are a kangaroo court then they should hop less.
BANNED FROM WHITEHALL?
The story continues: we have the names of 9 people who have been banned in various ways from Whitehall.
Weโve had coverage on/in The Times, Guardian, Newsnight, Times Radio, etc. More to come.
Know anyone whoโs been โbannedโ let me know - in confidence

Please grow up and stop being so woke.
A team leader who wants to maximise the out from his team shouldn't be seen as a bully. Its this woke culture which is responsible for UK's low productivity rate. @mrjamesob
Can you imagine being a civil servant who has raised a complaint, sitting in the department that Dominic Raab is the Secretary of State for, watching TV to find out your fate?
This whole process is a farce. We need serious reform of the way ministerial bullying is dealt with.
@ABridgen Why arenโt the police doing their job and investigating the crimes reported to them, with reams of evidence and world leading expert witness testimony?
Why isnโt @ukhomeoffice removing senior officers accused of perverting the course of justice?
