Perhaps James is sort of covering the losses in court of Carole Cadwalladr with the "lies and nonsense" mention...
I just feel like getting hold of James and giving him and good shake: "Love, we're just trying to live our lives the best we can, I suggest you do the same. We're fine, we'll survive. Please. Please just find a nice hobby or something and leave us all alone".
He's probably in the shed at the bottom of his garden right now, the sun blazing down outside, wife and kids in the garden having a nice afternoon while he stares blankly at a laptop screen muttering about Brexit with all sunlight blocked-out, even the spiders have moved out and don't want to be around him anymore. "Dad! Dad! It's lovely out here, are you coming out?". "I'll be out in a minute ... just one more line to write".... and then the sun goes down and they all go inside and he's truly alone again, still muttering about Brexit and still unable to finish that line.
