Who the hell has a flag up at home?
They got what they needed: your vote. Now they’re doing what they think they need to do to keep the power/perks/money they’ve got.
"Private Healthcare Money in Politics: Who's Funding Our MPs? " privatisation.everydoctor.org.uk/wp-content/u... @everydoctor.org.uk "The Labour Party received four times as much in donations from donors connected to private healthcare as all other political parties combined"
Is there nothing in his contract that lets him avoid this? Having said that, it could be worth a listen if he grills her properly.
I thought he was intelligent?
Wtf?
Money & power? So much of their backing financially is coming from the same sources that have previously supported tories in government. Somehow, we need to break this way of indirect influence.
I’m not sure Labour will change course even after we see the death of the first migrant.
Unless you’re an asylum seeker & your child has to stay wherever they are in the world.
No words.
‘Why vote Reform when you can get what you want with Labour?’ Fools.
They should be ashamed at their desperate pandering to reform voters.
Believe what you see, not what they tell you.
Talk about ‘taking one for the team’. Over & above…..thanks for all you do Zoe.
Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from. I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR." It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.
If there was any progress Trump would be front & centre shouting about it. There is no progress. Putin plays Trump every time.
No-one who is planning to vote reform is going to change their mind & vote labour. At best they’ll vote tory. Why do they continue this chase for right wing votes when they’ve far more to lose on the left.
No-one from the current cabinet, they’re all as bad. I’m not sure even of Rayner anymore.
LBC’s Clare Foges saying the same today.
Apologies on behalf of all decent people in West Yorkshire. & yes, inaction & the failure to push back against the RW rhetoric of those listed above is what will give us a Reform government. Fgs Starmer, grow a pair & quickly.
The books are good, light-hearted fun. Not sure why you’d get Brosnan & Mirren together again. They were woeful in Mobland, the series saved only by Tom Hardy. I’m surprised that no-one from Ireland has sued them for misrepresentation, appalling accents.
Particularly the Today programme.
Somebody needs to have a word with @mrjamesob.bsky.social because he’s still defending @lbc.co.uk over her sacking. I’m a long time listener but I’d like to hear his comment after he listens to this interview before I decide whether to continue. Not that he’d notice me leaving.
What a time we’re living in when we have to fact-check plastic (literally) patriot Rylan. #ukpolitics
I think you’re past the point of no return.
You’re all nuts.
You’d be better off getting them all bullet-proof vests than praying for them.
You’ve made gun ownership a thing. You’ll never be able to prevent more shootings.
Glad they’re not on starvation rations.
The fact that it’ll go ahead despite people’s worries about ICE shows that FIFA’s just as corrupt & the Trump administration.
I wish they’d do some editorial planning so we didn’t have the same subject for phone-ins on every show. I’ve stopped listening.
It’s becoming a bit like politics in the US. Self-enrichment. He’ll be terrified of losing his seat to Reform & thereby losing his ticket to ride the gravy train.
What a team.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don’t we take away people’s citizenship for that?
& not challenged by anyone from government.
I think Tom’s hoping to replace Ferrari when he retires/explodes with anger! Already playing to that audience.
Quickly, before someone else sees them!!
@lbc.co.uk Lewis, please use some stats rather than going along with the false images other media are presenting.
I’m amazed at your patience & self-control when you appear on shows like Newsnight, so impressive.
Putin knows what’s in the ‘Epstein files’.
You might want to cross the floor. With your rhetoric you’d fit in well with Farage & his racist rabble.
You should be explaining to them that it’s not a ‘holiday’ & they’re no longer hotels, they’re the equivalent of hostels at best. You’re feeding right-wing fomented unrest when you should at the very least, be dampening it down.
No, they’ll be full of non-whites.
Some people are getting more comfortable calling for the abolition of ICE but they absolutely can't fathom abolishing the police.
‘Activist’ judges. Are they the ones who don’t rule on things the way Jenrick wants?
The kompromat is real.

2025: Nigel Farage says tells Downing Street that he wants unelected Reform candidates to be in the House of Lords 2011: Nigel Farage says unelected officials do not have any democratic legitimacy
Why the hell don't they actually do something and ban Israel from European Football. Come on UEFA it is what everybody wants.
He might as well bring Farage into the cabinet.
He seems determined, not only to purge the party of left-wingers, but to forego left-wing voters too. Whilst reform voters will still say ‘Nige will do it better’.
Trump’s ‘useful idiot’. & I use the term ‘useful’ very ironically of course.
Furter & further right.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social it appears the answer is ‘sinister’. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
Vote Labour, get Reform.
🤣which votes is he trying to win now? He’s spent most of the last year chasing reform - ‘island of stangers’ & now his glee at deporting asylum seekers. JC, LDs & Greens are going to mop up anything left of centre.
From a ‘rest of the world’ perspective, America already has.
& then you’ll get Vance. Do you think that’ll be better or worse?
If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.
No surprise there.
Fergal Sharkey has the right idea. Amend current regulations to force them to add the cost of infrastructure improvements required to their balance sheets as liabilities. All would fail a ‘going concern test’. The companies aren’t allowed by law to go into liquidation, nationalised by default.
I like the early rounds of Only Connect, I can feel clever for a few weeks.
I think it’s fine. Farage has said he’d remove all protections so reinstating one of the ways paedophiles access victims. Why is it didgusting? Maybe put some detail into your own ressoning.
The funds from atheists must be drying up for Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.
Not really much of a surprise.
He’s always been useless, even when he’s just parroting the party line as now.
Why would anyone want to do that?
Does it say you can wipe out any other people on ‘your land’? By any means, shooting, bombing, starvation……etc etc.
Same in UK.
Yes
I’m ashamed at our collective failure to do anything other than watch this happen in front of our eyes.
We need to add a u, acaub, as in useless.
Should spend some of it at a decent barber.
They can still be right sometimes.
Safe routes would be far better.
I claim the wooden spoon as I’ve heard of neither.
Lammy so disingenuous. Fails to provide any sort of answer. It’s rare I agree with a tory MP.
Well said.
No, it’s time to let the water companies go bust & nationalise them.
Does anyone, apart from shareholders & massively over-rewarded CEOs, want anything other than nationalisation?
Judging by those that took the earlier penalties, yes!
The keepers obviously do.
They want Nick’s slot when he goes.
& now everyone’s bothered.
I think it’s a great idea.
Just from the back row he’s selected I think we can expect a very narrow game from the Lions. I’m not sure Freeman or Lowe will get much ball unless they come infield looking for it.
He’s pushing left leaning voters to green party or even lib dems.
I’m not sure how you keep listening to them to be honest. I’m down to JO’B now. I’ve even given up on Lewis Goodall after this week’s shrieking about secret immigration routes & lack of parliamentary scrutiny. Not bothered about the danger to life.
Not just far right.
Prayers?
He doesn’t want to spoil his royal visit.
Did anyone actually watch? Mickey-mouse competition.
According to Sky news it was a Japanese collector.
Why should Somalians have to put up with them? Deal with them yourselves on US soil.
Not a decent one anyway. Hard for them when all their best players are away with the Lions. (Sarcasm)
& who the fuck are you to tell me what to do?
Just seen previous post🤦♂️
You also missed Wales losing (again) this time to Japan.
‘Only’ sidearms? The bullets in them still kill right?
