That's a James o'Brien approach to anything you disagree with. Belittle and humiliate.

I watch GB News for entertainment sometimes, but I think almost all of the people who appear don't actually HAVE an opinion. They just want to be seen on television and are attention-seekers doing a bit of self-promotion (for a fee). A bit like James and a lot of modern broadcasters. That's why I think they debase themselves, especially those who purport to be left-leaning or left-of-centre. I find them to be especially insincere. That's the point I was trying to make.
 
Jobby's doing his sarky 'I'm pretending to take this seriously but you can tell I want you to agree with me that it's ludicrous' voice. His problem is that he can't blame the Tories.

He wasn't paying attention to The Commons yesterday as he was writing a chapter for his paperback
🤥🤥🤥
(The pinocchio chapter)
 
He's trying though, shoehorned in Boris Johnson and Rees Mogg (who actually agreed with the speaker yesterday). Like all of them, O'Brien is too scared to mention the elephant in the room, that MP's are scared for their safety if they aren't seen to be pro ceasefire, and we know those who are doing the scaring.
 
I like Iain Payne. I think he's done a great job in taking over from Steve which was never going to be easy. He has just the right amount of light topics leading into the serious Breakfast show. HIs call in yesterday about older people working was good. I too applauded the 75 year old woman working at Selco on the forklift and the 74 year old scaffolder. 🤣

I think I'm sort of done with LBC. I did a lot of driving this week and used to always put LBC on to stimulate me but found myself listening to about 10 minutes of JOB and 5 of Shelagh. I don't know if it's news fatigue and the fact all the news media do these days is be overly dramatic or in the case of LBC just the same of topics and schtick from the presenters. It's no coincidence the only things I listen to on LBC are Iain P and Nick A on a Friday and Saturday.

( Here's news for the older LBC listeners, I was listening to David Hamilton on Boom and he mentioned his old pal Pete Murray. 98 and still going. Apparently he and Diddy David did a show for Boom on Boxing Day. 'Radio's Oldest Double Act' ... David is a mere youngster at 85 🤣 )

Douglas Cameron is 90. :D

Jobby sweating blood in his efforts to get some brownie points for Labour. 🥵 Not sure what Brianna Ghey's mother and Kemi Badenoch have to do with yesterday's events.

I can guarantee JOB will still be blathering on about Brexit when he's 90 🤣

Always worth a re-post (not my work):

This is a really serious issue and it shows that James is the sort of client journalist that he accuses others of being.

There was in essence a labour/SNP spat yesterday

Also there is the big issue of Labour MPs being intimidated.

Yet James simply gets out his dog whistle and starts blowing.....

Perfect

Andrew Fox on X: "I’m more shocked by what I saw in London yesterday than anything I’ve seen coming out of Gaza. It was a direct attack on our democracy. Genocidal slogans projected onto the symbol of our Parliament and the Speaker breaking parliamentary procedures for fear of violent reprisals…" / X (twitter.com)

This is the first I have seen about the projection onto Big Ben ... has it been mentioned a lot in the news ? I've been a bit out of the loop for that last 24 hours but surely that's something that is usually splashed all over the DM or Ferrari would have mentioned?
 
Seems to have got a bit of traction tonight. Labour's client journalist was reduced to some whataboutery with a simp Labour MP brought in to slag off Kemi Badenoch in a desperate attempt to take the heat off the disgracefully partisan carve up between Starmer and Hoyle yesterday.

Hoyle yesterday.

Hoyle should never had apologised. Bercow made quite a few duck-ups but never apologised once, 'that's my decision, if you don't like it, lump it' was his attitude. Then he would sit through a few hours of MPs slagging him off in the chamber then moved on. Hoyle is too much of a drama queen and because he tries to be too 'nice' he lacks authority. He was nearly in tears ffs ... grow a pair ffs and be professional.
 
He seems to me to be a bit of a figure of fun with his "go and have a cup of tea" quips when MPs get too raucous.

I imagine that he's a bit of a pushover when it comes to actual confrontations. Anything to keep the peace etc. Maybe he should consider quitting after this and let a younger, more assertive choice take control of the rabble?

I think I said in the politics thread that I think a woman should be speaker, all those old Etonian's will tit their panties. 😬

They've gone from one extreme to the other. Bercow was a bully and nasty piece of work by all accounts so have gone for the more genteel Hoyle who can't control anything.

Betty Boothroyd was the best by a country mile.
