@lbc.co.uk a “masterstroke” to invite Hitler to the U.K. and massage his ego and give him positive PR to use back home while he dismantles their democratic foundations. Thinking we can influence him by doing this is so stupid. Pathetic appeasement of the world’s most dangerous man.

@lbc.co.uk it is incredibly naive to think that this will do anything positive for the U.K. and our international standing. Trump doesn’t give a stuff. He has no loyalty, he is completely untrustworthy. This will just give HIM power and strength at home, and make us look like weal appeasers.

@lbc.co.uk all this will do is further harm Starmer’s reputation at home and make him look weak and cowardly. Trump is behaving like Hitler, dismantling everything democratic about America. And we are going to take a soft diplomacy approach with him. It disgusts me.

@burningoil1972.bsky.social I just saw an update on the Pope’s condition on the news and thought of you and your runny nose. How are you? 😆

@lbc.co.uk Shannon talks about the importance of the special relationship, but it’s damaging for the U.K, and for Starmer. Trump is not aligned with our values. It’s like trying to have a special relationship with the Taliban at the moment. Starmer looks weak in the UK if he capitulates to Trump.

@lbc.co.uk all trump will be interested in is exerting power over Starmer. Literally nothing else is important. He can’t be trusted to adhere to any agreements. The only thing Starmer can do is not give Trump an inch. America is not our ally anymore and we need to make that clear.

@lbc.co.uk Starmer should troll Trump and cancel his visit on the grounds that Starmer has “more important and productive things to do”

I genuinely think that the drug addled billionaire wanker will accidentally kill himself if people keep handing him chainsaws and shit to play with. Long may the republicans continue such stunts.

Of all the things Elon Musk has said, this is the worst. We cannot rely on Trump and his shadow president Musk. The UK must boost defence spending and take the lead in Europe.

@lbc.co.uk it’s not a foreign court, it’s an international court. To say it’s foreign is misleading.

@lbc.co.uk it’s misogyny and racism. He is fine with Powell portraying Jesus, but not with a black woman playing Mary Queen of Scots.

@lbc.co.uk This caller has just said it’s fine to portray Jesus as a white man, but not Mary Queen of Scot’s as a black woman. He’s all over the place.

Reeves consulting "Abrdn, BlackRock, Citi, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and Schroders". When will she talk to representatives of pensioners, children, "left behind" communities? #democracy - it would be a good idea news.sky.com/story/reeves...

@lbc.co.uk so Nick, should Jesus be played by a white man? I’m guessing that’s fine?

@lbc.co.uk Michael Gove: “nobody should say what Parliament can and cannot discuss” Ok, try discussing the Royal family’s finances.

@lbc.co.uk Tom, you can say the law is wrong, but you cannot say the judge is wrong for applying the law as it is written. That is where you, and sir kier, have made a mistake. You said that the judge was wrong. She isn’t. She applied the law. It’s dangerous to blame judges for poor legislation.

Hahahaha. People on @lbc.co.uk this morning talking about the criminal justice system and saying it’s not tough enough. First they’re phoning in blaming immigrants. Now they’re talking about giving them slave labour. Nick Ferrari has the dumbest callers. Their hateful stupidity is off the charts.

Do we really need growth — and if so, of what? Labour’s growth obsession ignores a key truth: we’ve already ‘arrived’ – instead of chasing more, it’s time to share prosperity fairly.

@lbc.co.uk can that gobby bloke stop talking over people? When he talks, you complain about others interrupting him. When others talk, and he interrupts them, you accuse both people of talking over each other. It’s the one guy on your panel who won’t shut up.

Poorest fifth in England pay 4.8% of income in council tax; richest fifth 1.5%. 27% real term cut in council funding since 2010, govt hand tax cuts to corporations/rich. Poor hit with regressive taxes VAT Fuel duty Wages taxed at higher rates than dividends, capital gains. Need tax justice.
