What and Nick Ferrari is balanced? A tory advocate if ever there was one. Tom Swarbrick - a Tory, Iain Dale - a Tory. Rachel Johnson - Labour is she? Nah didn’t think so. You clearly do not listen to the shows. Rachel Johnson obviously is a Conservative. Iain Dale has clearly said years ago he supported Conservatives but was a Labour supporter, this has been said even before Brexit. Nick Ferrari is balanced, he wiped the floor with Boris many times and was a constant critic of him, just as he was with Corbyn. Lefty's just cannot stand him because he does not grovel up to them or suck up to them like many other presenters would. One of the reasons that Khan is afraid to go on his show. I'd suggest you do your research on Rachel Johnson - she hasn't been a Tory since 2011 according to Wikipedia and more recently, was a member of the Lib Dem's for two years until 2019 - since then, she has since been part of the ill fated Change UK party and currently is an independent calling for a Labour, Lib Dem, Green coalition which she most recently backed on Question Time a few weeks ago |

I'll happily listen to the very different styles and views of Nick Ferrari, James O'Brien, Shelagh Fogarty and Iain Dale (who is quite open on air that he once stood as a Conservative Party candidate). LBC's currency continues to increase (and backed up by audience numbers) evidenced that they were able to recently attract incredibly talented presenters / journalists such as Andrew Marr, Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel...and by the way Nick Abbott (and his soundboard) is hilarious on a Fri/Sat evening (2200-0100). |

I hope Starmer ejects the idiot Theresa Norton from the Labour party. It is clowns like this that give the party a bad name supporting these eco terrorists.

Very regrettable it's come to this stage but an example has to be set. |

Very regrettable it's come to this stage but an example has to be set. Yes, a controversial decision and one that will have caused, and continue to cause, a lot of heart-searching in the Labour Party. Nevertheless, the Labour Party under Corbyn's leadership fell foul of the Equality and Human Rights Committee - a body set up by a Labour Government - and was found to have broken the law. Starmer has clearly taken the view that Corbyn is no longer fit to stand as a Labour MP, and a majority of the National Executive Committee, Labour's ruling body, has clearly agreed. |

Might have a small but unsubstantial impact in the next election, many despised Corbyn due to his antisemitism and also his position on Brexit was very unclear and unappetising. Not to mention his election manifesto was highly ridiculous in 2019 |

Being in opposition it is easy to promise the world what you could never deliver. Now there is a realistic chance they could be in power, the policies need to be ammended to be less fantastical, and more towards what can actually be delivered. Continuing to make statements on policy you have no chance of delivering would be fool-hardy. It's getting to the stage where they will be expected to deliver on their policies. |
