This is really good. Pointing out that Starmer at no point & in no way equated calls for an Inquiry with being ‘far right’ was a very lonely business last week. Here are *all* the receipts.
I went to panto in Birmingham today. Starmers image was projected on screen at one point. The reaction was almost universal booing. He has a real perception problem.
LBC ‘s political editor totally failed in this .It’s actually quite shocking that she’s the best LBC have. Ferrari unsurprisingly trotted out same binary lie. I swear James, LBC is somewhat tabloid radio these days. What the f happened to journalism ? Thank you for adhering to nuance and semantics x
She did! Clearly you can take the girl away from the Sun but you can't take the Sun away from the girl! She clearly isn't used to being called out for lying so blatantly either.
Okay I'm on a soapbox here. I'm not the same political flavour as Jess Phillips. As Kier Starmer pointed out a line has been crossed with (Lone Skum) attacks on a her. So putting my best foot forward and asking all other UK political parties who whole heartedly support democracy to condemn
his attacks as attacks on our UK democracy. Ed Davey has also been falsely ridiculed for criticizing him (Lone Skum). However, for the overall health of British politics I would like to see each UK party representing in the HoC get up and just state this is unacceptable. @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social
Have you ever read The Invaders plan by Ron L Hubbard? The villain of the piece uses fake media stories to turn everyone against the altruistic hero no matter what he does. I read it when ivv bc was 14 /15 I’m 54 now and I see it happening in real life.
It’s so tiring seeing certain parts of the media twisting stories to paint Labour and particularly Starmer in such a bad light. The man and party only want to make things better. What’s worse is so many fall for it time and again.
Why isn’t the news headline ‘Tory’s trying to kill the Children’s Bill’. I’ve hate this’s disgusting disingenuous timeline of wilful ignorance and disinformation.
Aggie is less biased , Natasha Clark tries to hold her own with James but he majors in facts not the alternative facts that most on LBC seem to try to push. It’s got to the point where I just listen between 10 and 1 in the morning and Nick Abbot weekends .
It was wasn’t it! She maybe a tory but that’s her cross to bare, she’s no fan of KB though. Theo hid his support well don’t have him as left of centre though, not that I care as long as we get objectivity
It was the broadcast highlight of the week for me….and one that I hope she and LBC reflect on. He was ultimately kind to let her off the hook a little at the end.
If I recall, the words were “calls for an inquiry being jumped on by the far right”? Because it suits their agenda, sucking off Musk for money and popularity.
It seems to me we only care about children who are abused and dead and children who are abused by Muslim men. Abused knows no social boundaries. If we put as much effort into actually caring for vulnerable kids we might get somewhere.
Yes. I can't stand the lies and/or gaslighting. I've started having sleepless nights about politics again. Starmer said we could rest easier but the dishonest rw media and journos, addicted drama and self interest, have killed that. Ugly times. Thank you for what you do. I know it can't be easy. ✊🏾
It's their attempt to take moral high ground when being quite obviously racist in singling out people committing these horrific crimes, as if no other race is guilty. WE AREN'T FAR RIGHT !! They cried when no one said they were, guilty conscience me thinks!
Question: (maybe for the show) Labour were swept in on a wave of hope so
a. How long do they get to fix the economy etc; and
b. Is 7, yep 7, months enough.
Why should we expect roses 🌹 in the garden so soon. Or should we.
Systems like to exist in balance. We had a huge Labour majority a few months ago and the system is adjusting to that event. It will be ok. Just have to tough it out.
As you would put it “I’m afraid the lie got halfway around the world before the truth had got its trousers on” it is lazy journalism, the truth matters. The lies can make a better story, especially if it promotes a narrative that you prefer.
I spent a few years in Melbourne as a youth worker in the 80s helping girls who'd been abused and raped by white Aussies not foreign gangs. Not saying there were no foreign abusers but they were in the minority.
Heard you pressing that with your colleague this week, it was uncomfortable listening, but you held on to the truth of it all and come what may that's why we tune in.

Aided and abetted by a megalomaniac and right-wing politics/politicians and press.
To see Badenoch sucking Apartheid Clyde’s cock for money is extremely distasteful, and not only for the imagery.
Have to admit, I'm kind of conflicted there...

I don’t know what to say but it’s like watching us drown and not been able to stop it.
