@mrjamesob.bsky.social I didn't expect this phone in today, but my word it's absolutely brilliant. Outstanding callers again. Bravo! @lbc.co.uk

Kemi is never late, @mrjamesob.bsky.social Nor is she early. She arrives precisely when she means to.

1. Let the people of Pidlington leave the UK. 2. Revoke any UK driving licences, passports and official documents they may hold. 3. Arrest any of them found outside Pidlington on the basis that they would then be undocumented migrants.

“To lose one councillor, Mr. Farage, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose 148 looks like a shitshow.”

Snowflakes!

Oh!

Polanski very stupid for what he shared, but Reform’s pivot from bringing a woman who called for hotels full of asylum seekers to be burned down as their guest of honour at conference, to saying the Green leader should be jailed - is a difficult circle to square

New PM, same old media: Burnham is now simultaneously being accused of spending money he hasn't got on the policies he announces *and* not spending enough money on the policies he announces.

Just to recap: Calling Nigel Farage “an unflushable poo” = dehumanising hate speech. Calling for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire = guest of honour at party conference. Bless those non-racist free speech warriors.

Nigel Farage being a wrong 'un who associates with wrong'uns? If only there had been a sign.

All eyes on the White House 🤞🤞🤞

The next PM could - and in my view should - properly stick it to Trump (as Meloni has just done); announce a plan to undo Brexit; put immigration to bed for at least one electoral cycle; take their government off Twitter; unequivocally condemn Netanyahu & resurrect Leveson 2… A boy can dream.

More metaphorical fat lips needed James. It's the only other language racists understand. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Motherfucker can't even win a war against algae.

Hacked? They've had him on speed dial for the best part of twenty years.

Does that include the £5mn?

Go on Angela!

The secret £5 million payment to Farage by an overseas billionaire is the most astonishing example of political corruption. Don’t let up.

Nigel Farage’s partner, a former waitress not known to have any private money, bought a £1 million house for cash shortly after he secretly received £5 million from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire - the same house that he claimed, months previously, that he was about to pay for himself.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Charlie seems to riding a wave of goodwill. Could the king engage in some positive PR for the Prime Minister much like a former Labour PM did for him, and his late mother following the death of Princess Diana?

Powerful from @mrjamesob.bsky.social. Starmer and co have done far too much to pander to the far-right when they could have taken a clear stand and pushed back. His lack of a backbone is perhaps his biggest failing. Starmer's approach to politics has pleased no one.

‘The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again…’

Today in Brexit Britain you are being asked to believe that a Thailand-based cryptocurrency tycoon secretly gave Nigel Farage - the person, not his party - five million pounds without any hope or expectation of getting anything in return.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Starmer should probably have resigned. We may have retained an excellent civil servant in Olly Robbins. Now we are going lose both.

Peace when markets are open War when markets are closed

love this new development for America

JD Vance is on a historic roll: He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose. Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses. Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably. Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

So, did God guide Hegseth's military when it blew up a school full of children?

153 school children. Dead. #EpicFury

His Boss?

Someone should remind those 5k plus US combat marines being deployed to the Strait of Hormuz that this is what their commander in chief thinks of their service.

As someone who started work in 2001, I didn't think that the post dotcom crash and 9/11 was going to be my economic golden age.

The median age in Britain is about 40. The median Briton has not experienced sustained economic growth in their adult life time.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social perhaps the brains of an Archbishop trumps those of an academic on questions of morality. Unfortunately the longer this goes on, and the longer the strait of Hormuz remains closed, morality will be overtaken by maths.

U.S. forces likely bombed an Iranian elementary school on Feb. 28 during an operation targeting a nearby military base, a New York Times analysis suggests. It is the deadliest known episode of civilian casualties since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran — and no side has yet taken responsibility.

On the one hand, a clearly deranged lunatic in the White House starting a dangerous illegal war on Iran with already-serious repercussions for the region and world... Or having a pop at Keir Starmer. You just knew which side the Right would come down on.

Mate, it was 1066. Move on.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social The Mandelson appointment explained.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social your last caller touched on it with the headlines Trump generates. It keeps them in work. Politics before Trump, and indeed Brexit, was boring. You have said yourself the days of LBC talking about potholes, and cycle lanes are long gone.

Well fuck me backwards what a sight. I can't believe that was only an hour and fifteen. It felt like seven years. I hope you all enjoyed watching Robert Jenrick's soul leave his decaying fetid fucking human body.

I will happily buy you many drinks if this prediction comes true, as it is enough to sustain me on a day where my utter loathing for all these pisstaking wankers has breached its previous banks.

British news today is 30% "so, the world's most powerful nation has turned rogue internationally and a dictatorship domestically" and 70% "ANYWHOOO, innit cold? here is footage of a gritter".

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I hope that Uber Eats driver is getting an extra xmas tip James.

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?” “Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?” You can have those for nothing, lads.
