#LBC Bob, Henry Novak's family asked grifters like you and Farage to NOT politicise his death. You're disrespecting his memory and his family's wishes you absolute slimeball.

#LBC top marks to Keith for playing out a clip of @mrjamesob.bsky.social tearing into Farage's changing excuses for the £5m just as Jenrick goes to the ad-break

#LBC "The establishment" 🤣 mate, you were in the literal government for 10 years and your boss is an ex-city trader who's been in politics for 25 years, lunches with millionaires and media moguls, and banks with Coutts. Give it a rest.

#LBC Honest Bob has taken time out of painting over childrens' murals and spouting nonsense about how ex-city trader and career politician Farage, who banks with Coutts, is anti-establishment to spout nonsense about two-tier policing. Please call in @mrjamesob.bsky.social

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Sarah Pochin didn't enjoy an Asian man gently ribbing her and her party in the Commons (quite brilliantly) yesterday #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social he's managed to alienate the left and the right when his task was to unite them. Hence the rise of Reform and the Greens #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social The 'Whisper It' section had me laughing out loud for a good 5 minutes. "It's essentially a way of writing something bonkers, and pretending its an insight" 🤣 #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social That last hour on the Freemasons was unexpectedly fascinating. I also got a few LOL moments out it. #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social If you want a new video game that focuses on stealth, there is no better game than the Metal Gear Solid series. They just remastered Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater for the PS5, so that is a no-brainer for stealth-based games #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social They reintroduced beavers into the Somerset Levels about 5 years ago, and they are thriving around here, so its likely they have spread and thats why they're popping up in Norfolk. #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Reform are on 25% on YouGov now - they were on 30% in the summer. This is despite obscene media favouritism and epic financial backing. I'm not getting my hopes up, but I feel like they topped out at 30% and the balloon is deflating as they come under more media scrutiny #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social that moonbow business is caused by ice particles, its basically a ring of ice around the moon and its the moonlight shining through the ice, might look like a rainbow from some angles, but it looks like a white halo from most #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social If Labour keep shaping their policy based on fear of how the right wing will react then they are doomed. The right wing press will attack them whatever they do so stuff em #LBC

@nickferrarilbc.bsky.social appalling interview with Darren Jones, he sensiblly and maturely batted away your tabloid, gotcha questions and I could genuinely hear you seething into the mic because he wasn't falling for your tacky 'interviewing' style #LBC

@tomswarbrick.bsky.social "Won't someone please think of the super-wealthy?!" - Jesus, get your tiny violins out #LBC

@shelaghfogarty.bsky.social Zia Yousef having a complete meltdown when faced with some very light interrogation, thanks for that, very entertaining #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social remember Matt Hancock pretending to cry on ITV? That was pretty awful #LBC www.youtube.com/watch?v=suwk...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I am a Corbyn "fanboy" as you put it and actually, no, I am not loving it. I was willing Starmer to do well because, although I didn't like him, I knew the alternative was either a return the Tories, or sleepwalking into a Reform government. I am really disappointed #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social ironically, ear defenders are what I look for when I hear Richard Tice's voice #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social "Tice, as in that fella who carries Nigel Farage's bags around" 😂😂😂 such a casual and concise put down, but made me burst out laughing. Simple but true. #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social FYI Adam Johnson didn't have his England caps stripped away. His defence lawyer claimed he did, but the FA clarified there is no such mechanism in place to take England caps away #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social after you read out Daniel Hannan's disgusting tweet I went on X to reply to him and with a list of white British people who've done awful things, only to discover that he had blocked me! I must have offended him in the past but I don't even remember how, the little petal #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social virtually every white collar employer in the UK has a probation period of 3 months - surely this is a sensible threshold after which you retain full employment rights such as the ability to bring an unfair dismissal? #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social that's 3% of a total of £4 trillion that is held by British pension funds. If Reeves could increase that number to 10 or 15%, it would raise over £500 billion of investment into British public services or indeed UK-listed companies to 'grow the economy' #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Norway's private pension funds invest over 50% of their money into Norwegian public services and businesses. UK pensions invest 3% into UK services and businesses. Go figure. #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social A pledge to rejoin the customs union and single market might be the only thing that will win Labour the next election #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social are pockets the garment you despise? After THAT Mystery Hour a few weeks back I wouldn't be surprised #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Pronouncing Ajax properly isnt ridiculous or pretentious like pronouncing Valencia or Barcelona as the Spanish would. Ajax (AY-AX) is what its called. Both In the Netherlands, and in the Angliscised version. It's just it's literal name. #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social missed an unhinged article in the Daily Mail, whining about there being too many black faces on TV. His article concludes by complaining that Lucozade picked Jude Bellingham over Matt Le Tissier (who hasn't played football for 20 years) for their ad campaigns #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social referring to Richard Tice as "old thunder chops" made me actually LOL. Sums him up to well #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Older TVs have lower frame rates than newer TVs, so dogs cant see anything on older TVs but they can on newer TVs, thats why they appear 'interested' (I may be wrong with the words 'frame rates' buts its along those lines) #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I get an actual visceral reaction when I hear Farage's voice. Not a nice one. Can #LBC please give a 10 second warning before playing out a clip of him so I have time to mute? Thanks!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social #LBC you should look into the Candace Owens and Eminem beef. His response / diss track completely 'owned' her as the kids day nowadays. I think he had demanded MAGA stop using his music at events and she had started calling him gay or a woman or something.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social this is how Keir Starmer should be responding to Nigel Farage whenever he starts bleating about immigration, rather than basically just agreeing with him. Clip starts at 3:03. #LBC www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT--...

During my driving lessons we used to drive by the local grammar school, and my instructor who was in his 50s used to make sexual comments about the girls in school uniform, all of whom would have been under 16. I remember thinking it was creepy then, now though.... 🤢🤮 #LBC @mrjamesob.bsky.social

@lewisgoodall.com You have a great voice and vocab for the Hiroshlma atomic bombing. I hope to hear you recount more historic events in the future.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social reading out a text thusly "Dr. Goebbels (that's me)" made me spit out my water it caught me off guard so much 😂 #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social hearing all these experts talking about why infrastructure takes so long to build is fascinating, and condradicts everything Tice and Farage claim. I'm getting flashbacks to 2016 #LBC

@tomswarbrick.bsky.social I just heard a billionaire on your show say people in the UK "look down on billionaires". I've never heard a more absurd and palpably insane take in my life. She also lamented why the UK isn't more like the US in terms of wealth, where the wealth gap is even worse #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Rachel Reeves needs to step down, the poor woman. For the good of her own mental health, and for the good of everyone trying to govern the country #LBC

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I really hope you never ever ever say the word 'sperm' into my ear again. I'm still shuddering #lbc

#LBC great opening monologue from @lewisgoodall.com this morning. Don't get too comfortable when you return @mrjamesob.bsky.social

John (Reform cultist) is the very definition of brainwashed. Saying objective facts are matter of opinion. I truly hope there aren't a significant amount of the populace who are that deluded #LBC

#LBC when's the next time you'll have Lib Dems doing a phone-in? They have 14 X as many MPs as Reform, yet I've heard Farage and Tice on LBC at least half a dozen times this year, and it's only Feb! Maybe they'd be at 25% in the polls if they were shoved down our throats as much as Reform are.

#lbc @lewisgoodall.com Farage will never get the required 40-45% needed to get a majority. He also always underperforms at the polls compared to pre-election predictions. If you look at the predicted seats on current voting intentions, the left wing parties comfortably outnumber the right.
