It's David from Enfield again who has an answer to everything. He hasn't been on #LBC since at least Saturday morning. He either has a relative at LBC or far fewer people call the station than they'd like you to believe.

Everyone leftie currently scrambling to support Zack Polanski needs to realise he's a former libdem who joined in on smearing Corbyn

Starmer prominent at the #VEDay80 event in London which may give him an opportunity to explain to veterans why he removed their Winter Fuel Allowance while accepting £18,000 of free clothes for himself. #BBCNews

"Democratic socialist". 🤦‍♂️

I get strong snake oil salesman vibes from former Harley Street hypnotherapist Zack Polanski and I'm less inclined than some others on the Left to forgive him for his past smearing of Jeremy Corbyn during the phoney 'antisemitism crisis' nonsense.

Justin Webb described Resident Doctors, formerly Junior Doctors, as "doctors in training". No, they are fully qualified doctors. Streeting should have corrected him. #r4today BBC Radio 4 Today

🚨 It’s easy to stand up for minorities when it’s popular. Starmer & Streeting both did that. To stand up for them when they’re under attack, that takes a spine. “We are at risk of making the lives of trans people almost unliveable.” - Nicola Sturgeon

I see Guardian's Marina Hyde is having another blast at Prince Harry. Which shows you can take the girl out of the Sun but you can't take the Sun out of the girl.

At his meeting with Carney Trump doing a hook and tease. Late this week or early next he will be making the bigliest announcement in the history of the world but won't say what it will be. #Trump #CNN #bbcpm

Mark Carney wasn't allowed to speak often and had to sit through long Trump rants including a bizarre one about Obama's library being over budget because Obama had hired woke builders. Have to say I haven't met many woke builders here in the UK. #BBCNews #itvnews #C4News

Today both papers owned by Reach plc, the slightly left-leaning Mirror and the rabidly right-leaning Express, are attacking Starmer over the Winter Fuel Payment on their front pages. It takes a special kind of political genius to achieve that. #Papers #r4today #UKLabour

Ferrari is the gift that keeps giving, today talking of 18 year old train drivers being "at the wheel". Spoiler: trains don't have steering wheels because they run on fixed tracks. 😆#LBC

I'd missed that Giles Dilnot is now Editor of ConservativeHome. For many years he worked on the Daily Politics. The BBC has long been like a 'feeder school' for the Tory Party and Tory organisations. So many have shimmied through that revolving door. #PoliticsLive

Starmer again cites a figure for the increase in the State Pension that applies to only about 28% of pensioners. I will keep on pointing this out because none of our so-called journalists will do so. #PMQs #PoliticsLive #BBCNews #LBC

Discussion of Farage's amount of airtime on #TheMediaShow on #R4 didn't mention his 38 appearances on Question Time. Only a handful of long-serving frontline MPs like Ken Clarke and Harriet Harman have appeared more often. Shallow, defensive stuff from BBC.

Indian Government officials have accused Badenoch of telling porkies at #PMQs when she said she rejected the trade deal over relief from NI contributions. They say she had agreed to that exemption as Trade Secretary. (via FT) #BBCNews #bbcpm

Excitement in Rome as white smoke seen rising from the Vatican but it was just one of the Vatican altar boys having a vape behind the bike sheds. #Conclave2025 #BBCNews #C4News

How can a shot that goes wide be "a really clever finish"? Only if you're the endlessly gibbering Ally McCoist. #PSGARS

The Times claims that under new rules all migrants to the UK will have to be fluent in English to almost A Level standard. I'd love to see countries like Spain and France reciprocate and make UK migrants (sorry, "expats") speak A Level Spanish and French. #Papers #r4today

I've managed to head-butt a Sumac tree and cut the top of my head. What a twat. For the rest of the day I'll be resting and keeping myself under observation.
