From Ohio here and I thought we were decent people until our voters chose trump. Really disillusioned how many of us choose cruelty and division.

[@JeannettedeBeauvoir]

Massachusetts here. I feel the same way.

27:52 Starmer is not a charismatic populist politican, nor is he a great orator. Personally I find those apparent negatives a refreshing change from the narcissistic egomaniacs we've had to deal with recently. Beyond that I give him a lot of credit for not kowtowing to the Murdoch press who are now only relevant because the rest of online media keep them relevant. However it's undeniable that Starmer and other Minsiters could and should be communicating directly with public an order of magnitude more effectively than they have been. Gone are the days when a Prime Minister or any Minister needs to wait for some high pressure interview on TV to communicare their message - they could simply prepare a weekly or even monthly statement to read to camera and release a video to be broadcast across all social media to be picked up by terrestrial TV. "This is what we're doing and this is why we're doing it, and this is what we hope will be the result." As it is, the only people we ever see our Prime Minsiter talking to are other politicians and (typically) rabidly right wing journalists. The only way to efffectively deal with a 'post truth' era, is to tell the truth and do so as authentically and honestly as possible. Put another way, if you're broad philosophy is country before party, then talk to the country and not the Westminister Bubble.

Thoughtful and well-written. Thanks.

Excellent ! ! !

[@KathleenMayotte]

I use to be an avid listener but I really can’t stand how much he interrupts his callers. Please just let them get their point across before you tell them how much more brilliant you are

[@David-p5q2o]

He only interrupts when someone lies or misspeaks and thats his job

[@KathleenMayotte]

@@David-p5q2o I’ve been listening since 2016. He interrupts everyone equally

[@HelenBain-th9nm]

At least he calls out thick callers brings them into reality !

[@KathleenMayotte]

@@HelenBain-th9nm totally agree. It just gets annoying when someone who is even on his side of an issue can’t get their point across before he starts in. I just really don’t like the interruptions. Let your callers, especially the sane ones, get their point across. I don’t dislike the show but sometimes it’s just too annoying to listen.

Jenrick will win. He is also best for business. The consequences will unfold that the conservatives will split. Some will go to reform and some will go to lib dems. The results will unfold at the next election

LBC. Quick bit of advice.. nobody watches 3hrs of this utterly unhinged dribble

[@MrRailjunkie]

1.4 million people on average per week including me say otherwise.

[@greamespens1460]

Swift an extremely wealthy person that support agendas that are to the detriment of the vast majority enjoy access to police protection that we can only dream of.

[@ibexdnb2879]

What agendas are detrimental to the majority in this case? Genuine question.

[@TheDeeLarkin]

I second the curiosity into what agendas Swift supports that you believe would be detrimental to the majority of people…?

[@greamespens1460]

James I have had people threaten me but do i get police protection, no. If those that can pay should pay then a billionaire can afford protection.

[@leaguefan7640]

Yet the MONARCHY get all and found , never pay a penny for anything and get RIDICULOUS government handouts, So your point is?

[@greamespens1460]

When he talks about Musk and Tate it comes across like those conspiracy theorists.

[@timthegallant]

Musk is someone who just happens to be extremely rich.what exactly is his qualification to have opinions on politics or world affairs.the less said about tate.these are self appointed opinion makers.their opinions are no more important then you,i or anyone else.

[@greamespens1460]

@@timthegallant I do not think that Musk is as right wing as people make out. 10 years ago he would have been seen as small c conservative

[@timthegallant]

@@greamespens1460 it aint 10 years ago is it.weve since had boris johnson,nigel farage and donald trump.all pretty dubious characters and all 3 i suspect musk is on friendly terms with.

[@greamespens1460]

@@timthegallantPre Musk Twitter removed the POTUS and regardless of what you think of Trump they chose to keep the Taliban on their platform. Has Trump removed the rights to education for Woman and you can forget about them hearing of Roe v Wade. If OBrien does not like Musk then don't follow his feed.

[@craigbaxter8619]

One thing is for sure , Starmer & possibly the Labour party are finished , i thought the tories were bad but this lot are ten times worse

[@lindarose9433]

What are the facts upon which you are basing your opinion? How and why are the Labour party, after 3 months in power, ten times worse than the Conservatives who were in power for 14 years and who left the country in a much worse state than it was when they were elected in?
