I wish people would stop asking themselves why Keir Starmer is supporting this policy or that, as if there’s a knowledge gap, and that if he was properly informed then he’d do the right thing. He & his ministers have all of the facts you value at their fingertips. His decisions are not an accident.

Can @lbc.co.uk please stop with the promotion of Nick Ferrari's show during @mrjamesob.bsky.social, especially with the current comments from Nick about the Chancellor.

They are disgustingly condescending and stink of misogyny.

We really don't need it repeating multiple times a day!

Why is a Labour Home Secretary perpetuating this myth in The Sun?

Asylum applications in the UK are significantly below the average for all European countries. The only person helped by spreading this falsehood is Nigel Farage

While that bloated paedophile sits in the White House bragging about his ballroom vanity project monstrosity, Putin is bombing civilians inc small children to death. Wake up Europe, we’re on our own. This man is in Putin’s pocket, he is not our ally.
Gray-haired man in civilian coat runs into flames at Kharkiv kindergarten hit by Russian drones y'day. Emerges with child—pink pants and slippers visible under his jacket. Goes back in.

The thing is, there's no evidence that this guy is 'a French detective'.

People just make stuff up and others believe it.

Attractive lies are very dangerous indeed - and even apparently, benign ones like this are very problematic - because they condition folks to believe all the other horse shit.

There’s no solidarity quite like that between client journalists, the government and their billionaire backers. It’s all one big club.

This so-called “journalist” called for me — a British MP — to be deported because I’m Muslim.

Yet somehow he’s the victim. Cry me a river.
I recommend @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc watch award winning series #EducatingYorkshire based in a co-ed State school. He'll learn loads about isolation booths & their use. They are certainly not as bad as he thinks & serve a purpose. I went to a Grammar school in the 1960's..different world now

'Get rid of the migrants or I'll become a migrant' is quite the argument

I confidently predict that people who profess to be outraged by, say, the removal or destruction of statues honouring slavers and other racists because "history something tradition something something" will be completely silent about this abomination.

High-Speed 2 is meant to have an 18-mile stretch of line linking to WestCoastMainLine

(without which, it's even more pointless)

Does the UK have a Culture Secretary, with responsibility for this stuff, who might take an interest in how media regulation works? If there is such a person, does anyone know what she/he does all day?

My message to the millions of One Nation conservatives who reject the divisive politics of Badenoch and Farage is this:

Come and join us. Help us save our country. Come and win with us.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.
