Huge news. 007 job share.

Should you be a veteran @lbc.co.uk listener, there's an Easter egg for you towards the end today.

With increasingly diminishing respect to the NYTimes, I’m not sure “raw nativism” quite captures it. Tell you what…join me for “American Week” on Friday at 5.50pm on @lbc.co.uk and I’ll try to capture it more accurately.

Found Robert Maxwell’s old car

How is York coping without a Duke and Duchess? Will people in York be ok? Are the jobs advertised locally or will they go again to outsiders?

If it’s all the same to you I’ll just stay on this floor thanks.

Does paracetamol turn your skin bright orange?

Britain’s Daily Mail. Has he reconciled with his pop yet? Do you have color photos?

It's Arm Night on BBC FOUR tonight, with IN THE LOOP at 9pm, followed by THE DEATH OF STALIN. Settle in, or press record. @aiannucci.bsky.social

I wonder what Cronkite’s CBS News would do at this moment

What a treat. Simon was always the highlight of my @LBC show. I can take no credit at all for his weekly brilliance.
