James O'Brien's damning verdict of Suella Braverman after sacking | LBC 

Being sacked from the same job twice in a year is a lifestyle choice

The level of entitlement in the Tory party is breathtaking. Privileged attitude beyond belief.

We need to keep asking the question about who owns our so called "newspapers" and WHY?

Has anybody noticed that what is going on in Britain is a mirror image of what is going on in the United States? This is what you get with conservatives, utter mayhem.

Seriously, are they competing for the title of who can damage this country the most?

The similarities of American politics in the UK is insane.

As a citizen of Northern Ireland I didn’t think I’d ever see UK mainland politicians take learnings from our part of the world by driving division and hatred for their own gains. Pulling at the thread of racism and hatred is always a tactic used by the corrupt and moral free! As Billy Connolly once said, those who desire to be politicians should be barred from ever becoming one!

Why isnt Cruella being arrested for inciting racial hatred? Anyone else would be. Why not her? One rule.....

Spot on. This is all Cameron’s fault starting with his pledge to have a brexit vote, which was purely a cynical ploy to get votes, which backfired as he didn’t dream so many would vote for brexit.

If he was bored why didn't he go and work in a food bank?

I’m still shocked, gobsmacked, infuriated, disappointed, hurt, let down, amazed, confused, etc, by just how toxic the Tories have become. I can’t really get my head around it. How have they sunk so very, very low?

This is not the first time that the great British people have risen above the devisive leadership we keep being subjected to 😢

The government is a freak show

I went to march against the bombing of Gaza on the second march. I was somehow scared and didn’t know what to expect. I cried when me and my friend had a very peaceful time marching with everyone. Anytime we bumped into someone, they turned round and apologized in the most friendly manner. Seeing people from all walks of life walking together I felt I was on the most peaceful pilgrimage of humanity getting together ❤

It’s pretty serious when the police, an organisation that by its very nature and purpose is predisposed towards a conservative authoritarian mindset, has to be the liberal voice of reason.

It's not just the behaviour of Braverman but Sunak needs to be held to account after showing incompetance by making her a minister.

I’m glad she’s gone. What an absolute monster.

Maybe the Met will gain some confidence from this weekend and return to being a proper police force. Keeping the peace and upholding law and order

Suella should be put in prison for this, she is the worst home secretary in the history of the United Kingdom

I agree with most of your comments James, but I wouldn’t elevate Thatcher. She promoted selfishness, sold off our countriy’s assets to greedy interest groups, often not British, attacked the poor and vulnerable and seemed to rejoice at tragedy in war. We are paying for all that now.

Braverman's Blackshirts did themselves proud. Perhaps she'll join Farage's party or be a talk show host on GB News.

I'm a New Zealand raised Canadian resident. Growing up, UK politics was always on NZ news, because invariably, whatever happened in Downing St affected NZ. UK is still treated as the "Mothership" in many areas because so many Kiwi's have British Grandparents. In Canada, we focus on the craziness of Trudeau, but he looks thoroughly lovely next to the UK Tories. UK Tory politics is like a gigantic dumpster fire that I can't seem to look away from. Braverman in particular I just thought initially bonkers and naive and out of touch. Now I just think she's thoroughly evil. UK needs an investigation. Because at the end of all this she can probably just go home to her mansion and get a lordship... Bleh.. 🤢🤢🤮🤮

As you said it Suella and the newspapers saying pray there isn't a riot at the Cenopath whilst goading and hoping there is one so they can justify and extreme response it made me realise how this mirrors the events in Gaza where the violence gave Isreal the excuse to commit more violence, thankfully our protest movements in the UK aren't run by idiots.

Can you imagine saying at a job interview; I want this job because I am bored sh*tless. Beyond satire.

Sunak truly is the candidate for change. Bringing in the greenshill scandal soiled former PM who championed austerity and brought about Brexit is truly a new direction.

My advice to people (not Dorries: too dumb) is to read Bernard Williams’ last book: ‘Truth and Truthfulness’, 2002. Published just before his death, he warned that what he calls the ‘virtues’ of truth - namely, *accuracy* and *sincerity* - are under threat. Fast-forward just over a decade and those virtues - being sincere & accurate when making claims - have been cynically discarded. James has mentioned many of the culprits’ names. I am a former British soldier. I agree with every word you’ve said James. And I am by no means alone among veterans. I served 4 tours of Op Banner. Lost friends, bits of my friends, have my own scars. The 1100hrs, 11/11 and Remembrance Sunday are important to me. Just as a ceasefire is important to the people of Palestine and Jews. The government has *SHAMED* the nation.

Excellent appraisal of what has just passed off this weekend, James. The Met is not without issues but I'd like to extend my thanks and gratitude to all the officers, organizers and logistical staff who ensured a major public disorder incident was averted. Wishing those injured a speedy recovery. Some may feel that this demonstration should not have taken place for various reasons but when one considers the bigger picture and the impact this show of solidarity has on the international stage, the fact that a few despicable individuals should attempt to pollute the message is a price worth paying if it saves lives.

She was also paid for that article. The solution is to make the job of MPs a licensed occupation with the proviso that they pay 90 percent tax on income earned during their tenure. People got hurt by Suella Braverman.

I feel really scared. It is like we have returned to the 70's when the National Front would go on a rampage beating up people with brown skin. It was horrible with so much fear around. This is what Suella has created and what she forgets, is her own brown skin. It is inevitable that it will backfire when they come after her because of her brown skin. She needs to be prosecuted for inciting hate.

Just when you think it cant get any worse , it does 😮😮😮

This wasn't a mob of Hooligans. It was Braverman testing her new SA.

She characterised a proposed armistice march on Armistice Day as a terrorist attack… Then actively promoted a race riot… Of course she’s unfit for public office, but shouldn’t she face criminal prosecution? She suggested that organisers of the pro Palestinian march should be arrested ahead of the event… What should be done with people who are behind a protest that actually turns violent?

1st week March estimated 100,000 attended.... 2nd week March estimated 300,000... 3rd week March estimated 500,000... 4th week Rally estimated 75,000... 5th week March estimated 800,000.... Why have the mainstream media underestimated every week? Is there a reason for this?

This is journalism at its very best by James O'Brien. I attended the pro Palestine march on Saturday - along with countless families and children who came in peace. I broke down in tears at one point - completely ashamed that someone in the British government had effectively given the green light to mindless scumbags to attack those same families in the march. Braverman needs to be charged for incitement - the scumbags attacking our police with her encouragement need to be jailed. She has blood on her hands with the 9 policeman injured - and that ultimately will be her shameful political legacy.

What is bonkers about the whole thing is that even if all of the people arrested on Saturday were from the pro Palestine/Peace rally, the numbers are tiny. 120 out of 300,000 is an incredibly low proportion compared to any Saturday night on the streets of our major cities. Can't remember politicians calling New Year's Eve celebrations "hate events"!!

Ah Braverman - too evil for the Met and the Tories. Who would have thought that.

Braverman forgets that the very people that agree with her would eventually turn on her because of her skin colour.

When will decent people stop supporting hate --all over the world.

I was on that March there was well over 3000 ppl we talking nearly 1m. It was such mix of ppl even Jews too. ❤.

David Cameron, back in government 😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂🤣🤯🤯🤯You can't make it up, I give up!, 😱

I think I must still have some optimism left. When I saw the announcement of David Cameron's ridiculous new position my first thought was "I didn't know there was another Tory with the name David Cameron.".

She talked about marchers on armistice day being an insult to the war dead. I thought that was why they fought and died to allow people to express their concern by protest or freedom of speech as long as within the law of the land . Certainly not what Cruella was promoting as 'British values'

As a muslim, i can say with confidence James is one of the best examples of true British mentality. Honest and consistently considerate.

Braverman should be arrested for incitement to violence, , that's the scandal 🙄🤔

What happened this weekend epitomised what is so beautiful about this country. We came down, we marched, there was camaraderie, love, banter, protest and we returned back to our homes. There were hardly any Police to be seen on the March and it passed peacefully by and large. Congratulations to Commissioner Mark Rowley who handled this brilliantly. Small fringe elements on both ends was inevitable. This is a brilliant country run by insecure, corporate greed, self centred narcissists. Don’t let them ruin it. The masses are decent people but somehow the extremes are getting the headlines. We need to go back to the centre left/right and re consolidate things. Come on. Let’s get our senses back and restart without extremism of any sorts.

What is particularly sickening is reading the WhatsApp leaks from the Tories leading up to the events of the weekend, and the mental gymnastics and false equivalencies they dredge up in order to STILL support Braverman. And watching the events of the weekend play out as predicted was just sickening. I'm British, I'm a Veteran, and I've never been so appalled by people doing things 'in my name'. :/

James, you and Sangita are the only two presenters worth listening. Thanku for speaking up and speaking out, on this topic and many other controversial topics❤

I could hear the disappointment that the police got it right.

She should be prosecuted for inciting violence. The bottom of the barrel.

Well done the Police for their work over the weekend. How sad some of 'our leaders' and media have become so divisive. When will people wake up to these corrupt and morally bankrupt people.

This is so correct and accurate 💯. Isn't it time to find out who is trying to destroy the British innocent public's life and hard working wealth.

James. I agree with every single word. Well done for keeping truth alive 👍

The High Priestess of Hate - she epitomised the shame and bias of the Tories. I’m sure she will scurry back under her stone to plot and plan - her shameful reign over - shown for what it was - bile and hate.

What happened this weekend was the vast majority of British people seeing through Braverman’s evil plan and not falling for it.

Suella just gave what she thought was the truth to the questions she was being asked. Her sacking was unjustified.

Michael Grove stopping at a railway station to be jostled while his chauffeur is parked up is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

One thing I'm confused about. How can someone who isn't an MP be foreign secretary?

"Little Tommy Ten names" He's going to be called that from now on.

Im just flabbergasted because this feels like ive just moved to a country with a majority of narcissistic lunatics who are self harming all of us . And now Cameron coming back😡🤬

Suella should be in prison

Cruella of time.

Ah fantastic we have someone who is only wanting the job because they are bored

The police deserve huge amount of respect professional 👏. Force.pray for peace. Enough of human suffering.

I really wish someone would make a documentary based on James O'B's book "How they Broke Britain"

The real story is that 300,000 people turned out in solidarity with the Palestinian people. These numbers are also completely unpolicable without their cooperation.

The Tories trying to turn the UK into a mini America with a Trump like twist.

One of your best speeches ever I reckon! So absolutely spot on.

Just dissolve the parliament. Call for election 😂😂😂. How many home Secretary and PM being changed. It's like a circus!

I might add my political views have changed dramatically since university and Boris. Boris gave them absolute power based on lies. But they have lost life long Tory voters for what will probably be 14 years of power.

She'll have a job on GB news before the week's out, I can even see her joining Reform.

The government don’t like Brits to stand up for there British values do they.

I didn't hear what she said, but judging by the direct result, it is starting to sound like a hate crime. Lock her up

It's bad enough to have Cameron back, but Cleverly as stand-in for Sue-Ellen will likely turn out even more disastrous. As for Braverman, she should be in jail or shipped off to Rwanda -- or better still, Hong Kong.

Hope there is a Public Inquiry. I question if the people Suella associates with are involved in harming police.

Incitement to insurrection is what it was, after Trump and Capitol Hill. All governments of all kinds throughout history have feared public disorder, and she encouraged it. But Cameron, he said after he’d finished writing his book that he was bored and wanted to get back into politics at which he was so bad, and we all told hm where to go then. But he’s greased his way back in.

I was marching on Saturday calling for a ceasefire to STOP the massacre in Gaza taking place and to free the Palestinians from the decades of oppression in their own country. Despite the hate and fear spewed by some of my leaders, people came out in thier thousands from across the country. It was a large group and I did not witness hate. There was passion in the chanting...which in a large group may look intimidating. So appreciative of the Police for allowing it to happen and later found out the reason why they weren't to be seen with us was due to the trouble elsewhere. I also knew that once it got dark I was heading home to a warm house without the fear of being bombed. 😢

I find our resemblance to how America is behaving very disturbing.

To be honest Michael Gove getting "jostled" is quite funny.

Having listen to the four news this was initiated and malicious. She should be charged for her actions. I am appalled though that these adults actually listened to her unethical statements. Well done to the police for carrying out their jobs to uphold peace and orderly.

Thanks James for saying the truth in a crazy world

Suella incited violence that is a crime

As an American, I must say I have been listening to your show for about 2 weeks, as well as Novara Media (which I have gotten the impression they are a bit more explicitly left leaning), and am finding it both more interesting than the state of politics in the US, as well as informative than 95% of the corpo-trash The US claims to be news.

That being the case, shouldn't there be an investigation into this and potentially Suella Braverman face charges?

James I saw your book on Saturday and told my partner to pls add to my Xmas list (i hope to read it over a wweeknoff at christmas, my first christmas off for 6 years), she called me sad and shook her head!!! Should I end our engagement James??😢?? I. Feel like this could be a major red flag!! Love your show and Sheila and Louis, all wonderful programmes, so thought provoking and engaging. I voted for Brexit and bitterly regret it, I'm now a proud Lim Dem and more proudly a more decent and empathic person, thanks to all your shows!!!! Thank you 😊

"Gentlemen! You can't call for peace today. This is Armistice Day!"

As an American you have my condolences for these Far-Right politicians who refuse to resign, or even if they do just pop back up a week later

I don't understand how people get from a finger being pointed to police duplicity in how it choses to enforce law, and the government inciting 'far right' counter protesters. Looks like a wilful faulty connection and dubious misrepresentation to me for grubby political point scoring. Why do British police have such a massive problem enforcing the letter of the law? Why are they happy to doorstep someone, mob-handed, for a pithy Tweet, yet let an hysterical mob commit criminal damage while they stand idly by? And worse. For the recored, I dislike Braverman, and I'm certainly not a Tory.

Cleverly: it’s my skin colour, isn’t it? The home office just can’t stand the colour of Cameron?

Somehow i got a feeling that when push comes to shove in the next GE, the british will somehow forget how bad this govt has been for them.

Rishi Sunak must also bear responsibility for being a poor judge of character and employing her not once, but twice!!

"I'm not gonna do it, relax, alright... still think I should." 😂😂😂

You of course you know all about "unhinged bile" James.

Spot on James. Keep it coming. Very articulate and intelligent. Thank you.

Some people have a 'heart of a devil.' Well, Priti Patel and Suella Braverman comes to mind.

The only thing those thugs were missing was the brown shirts.

Isruella clearly now wants to become prime minister in order to exert more influence on behalf of the Z¡on¡sts As she was making her way into politics Suella Braverman married Rael Braverman in 2018, a manager of the Mercedes-Benz Group, whom she described as a "very proud member of the Jewish community",. The wedding was celebrated at the House of Commons in February 2018. Rael Braverman, who moved to the U.K. as a teenager from South Africa, formerly lived in Israel. Suella Braverman told The Jewish Chronicle that she has "close family members who serve in the Israeli Army (IDF). When asked if it was her beauty that made him want to marry her, Rael replied that it was her warm heart and generosity to the homeless that cinched the deal not the fact that she would be a member of parliament able to exert influence on behalf of the Z¡on¡sts.

Cameron is back.... They'll be exhuming Thatcher next and fitting her with an animatronic voice box. Not sure there will be much of Churchill left.

I don't think Suella Braverman anticipated that hooligans would be mobilized by her article. She probably watched on with horror at the yobs pushing their way up Whitehall, in the knowledge she would be for the chop in the morning. She is used to getting away with saying outrageous things, but this time she incited the one thing she couldn't survive. The lack of violence by the Peace marchers, ensured she was toast. Well played Mark Rowley, checkmate!

she also said after the march that further action is needed, presumably hoping for more trouble next weekend

How much worse is this government going to get,hate them ,Sunak hugging Zelensky like old pals,clown show with pretence
