Trump sides with Putin. Those photos really must be graphic. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Four or five hours a day learning a musical instrument would have a teenager able to show off and make earnings from their virtuosity on social media when an adult. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #LBC

It's those pictures that Putin has isn't it, @mrjamesob.bsky.social. It always comes back to evidence of Trump's peccadilloes. @lbc.co.uk #LBC

So, Farage who’d previously failed 7 times to be an MP, decided that in Clacton he’d rely on his old Brexit friends - cheating (and racism) - to get him his win. With millions now pouring into Reform, it’s beyond time to properly investigate this grubby little man www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Isn't Labour Together a front for McSweeney and Glassman's Blue Labour? If they're unhappy with Starmer then I'd suggest that's a good thing. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #LBC

This is so perfect. No one have any doubts at this point about what Elon Musk really represents.

From the @wsj.com chief foreign correspondent

On why Farage doesn’t apologise for his schoolboy racism: “if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too.’ ” Exactly. He is racist. So are his voters. He can’t be pissing them off by saying sorry. #NeverPM www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Abolish the salary sacrifice tax dodge. I'm fed up subsidising well-to-do folk's pensions. And then there's the employers dodging NIC too. Get rid. #moneybox

Just get on with it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Delighted to reveal that I will be announcing the very first winner of the LBC* Peace Prize on Monday**. *(morning show) **I’ll probably forget

This chart is about tactical voting, but looking at it from the perspective of ‘would it be easier for labour to get voters back from Reform, or from literally anyone else’ is quite revealing

And nor should it. Farage is a dangerous racist and yet is being fast tracked into No.10 on a ruinous populist agenda, funded by shady right wing money and malign foreign interests. People must know who and what they are voting for. That’s the very lowest bar in a democracy.

Peter will be joining me on air at 11.45.

Short-fused racist has tantrum at BBC for asking him about being a racist bully at school. Then tries to claim that Reform was given £9M by crypto billionaire, Harborne, for “absolutely nothing in return”. That’s all that sorted then. Racist *and* corrupt. news.sky.com/story/politi...

"The BBC indicated it would broadcast next year’s competition". Cowards. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Nigel Fagash clearly didn't understand what the Alf Garnett characterisation embodied. Instead he wanted to be Alf Garnett.

Rather than apologising for his antisemitism, Farage demands the BBC apologise for the antisemitism of Alf Garnett, a fictional character created to satirise antisemitism, who was portrayed by a Jewish man.

Nigel Farage does not deny that he is a racist and a fascist. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

A Thailand-based crypto investor has handed a record-breaking £9 million to Reform UK, shortly before Nigel Farage used media interviews to plug his crypto firm and promise lower taxes and deregulation on the industry bylinetimes.com/2025/12/04/c...

The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

Tice defends his leader's use of racist and fascist bullying while blaming his victims. Just what sort of person votes for these characters? www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Is the Office for Budget Responsibility really protecting the UK economy, or enforcing austerity? I argue that the OBR was designed to remove democratic control over fiscal policy. In that case, it's time to get rid of it. youtu.be/lu6i9BB0XpU?...

GB News now broadcasting calls to remove the ethnic minority MPs from parliament

It's like the incredibly tedious "Rachel from accounts" thing. Misogyny in politics remains a powerful force.

@natashaclark.bsky.social wearing her blue rosette with pride today. As if anyone takes gossiping lobby hacks seriously. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #lbc #PMQs

Lobby hack moaning that she's been misled is a laughable. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #LBC

BadEnoch tells the country that she prefers children to be in poverty rather than to see the wealthy pay a fair share of tax. Strange and rather disgusting person. #PMQs @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #LBC

Is Farage still facing scrutiny over his partner’s £885k Frinton home. Is it aggressive tax avoidance? Has he misled voters? Where’s the transparency? What’s happening? Just asking questions. #FrintonGate

Let silly hacks go and work on their next bit of Westminster gossip. THIS is the main news from that conference. The clearest indication yet, right from the top.

Income tax was not increased, @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social. At least try to get your facts right, @lbc.co.uk? #LBC
