He reminded listeners that Boris Johnson's receipt of a fine for breaking Covid rules made him the "first sitting Prime Minister to be criminally sanctioned."
After taking a moment to catch his breath, James went on to remind listeners of the plot "to get Owen Patterson off the hook" after the former MP broke parliamentary standards.
"Why would you want to defend a lawbreaking liar and how would you go about it?" James concluded.
