    James is my favorite Journalist. I listen to James's show most days on LBC. He the most articulate Journalist I've ever listened to. I pity some of his callers to his show for example the Coach driver who said the European commission was corrupt organization and told lies. James asked him for his source of these accusations. He hadn't a clue what he was talking about. Had I been that caller I would be so embarrassed I wouldn't go out for weeks. James keep doing what you do because you're brilliant at it.

    Plenty out there don't like him, and that's their choice. But I'm primed for LBC, at 10am every day of the week. From those penny drop moments, to "idiot's corner", it's a brilliant show with generally excellent callers...plus, we get Mystery Hour once a week. Who doesn't like that?! 😁

      I think ultimately that would be a huge fail for the Tories because we have 7-8 years of proof that the Tories were in fact the reason why Brexit is in such a mess. They can claim that Cameron was the one that wanted to remain but the simple answer to that from Labour is he also the one who promised there would be a referendum.

We face the challenge of our times and we need the new hope for Britain, we know Britain deserves better, we have ambitions for Britain, we want to move forward not back, Britain can be better, we want a better plan, a better future, for the many, not the few.

    James is one of the people (in media) responsible for how broken this nation is. He derides "football" politics yet he absolutely participates in it. He'll repeat propagand and lies just like mainstream media does. And his hostility to anyone who criticises Labour is genuinely disgusting in regards to how hostile he is about it. Yep, he is part of the problem.

      easy enough: Labour policy, as far as I'm aware, doesn't include the total destruction of government departments, insane privatizations of services, the degradation of the population and deliberate, callous disregard to any on the fringes of society with demonization language. Labour have no plans to LOOT the country dry over the next ten years, using off-shore tax havens and as far as I'm aware, Starmer and the Labour Front bench, have no personal or financial links to Russian Oligarchs and people smugglers, using the UK to launder money WITH THE ACTIVE co-operation of the Tories. The wholesale destruction (literally, thanks to bad concrete) of the NHS and the wilful disregard of Schools and Education for the population in general, while blessing Public Schools with Tax breaks and gifts.
