James O’Brien just owned Kay Burley and it’s the best Twitter feud you’ll see this week
LBC presenter James O’Brien and Sky News’s Kay Burley have had a bit of a set-to on Twitter and very entertaining it is too.
It began when O’Brien took issue with a John Humphrys interview on Today.
Humphrys’ continuing inability to understand the idiocy of Brexit has made this interview a complete irrelevance. He’s so obviously just another deluded, disappointed Brexiter. Heartbreaking to see @BBCr4today reduced to this.

To which Burley said this and, well, it all kicked off from there.
Openly criticising broadcast colleagues is not cool. https://t.co/f5bcJoePHs

Don’t make me post the video of you criticising my ‘award-winning’ encounter with Frank Lampard, Kay. Or the email I kept where you claimed you’d never met him! xx

You came on my show to be interviewed!
James, behave yourself https://t.co/9ziQuGuuXJ

You started it! (And you rang the Mirror newsdesk the morning after the interview asking them to remove the story of how badly it went from their website.)

James,
1) Actually, I thought you looked like a dick and passive aggressive threats are sooooo dull
2) Criticising colleagues on Twitter because you couldn't cut it on Newsnight is not cool
3) I am not intimidated by not even the second best broadcaster on @lbc— Kay Burley (@KayBurley) December 6, 2018
The madness in her eyes. https://t.co/7GRgzFLsnw

He came on my show to be ‘grilled’. We had a robust, open discussion.
You have a fabulous day

Wasn’t that ‘open’, Kay. You failed to mention that Lampard’s agent is your son’s father.

Ouch! Burley wasn’t done but we think it was all over by this point.
Its in my biog, James! https://t.co/5REJRxjpMU
