What is it about James and successful women? He is always attacking them.Briefly heard Jobby slagging off Laura K again.
As he appears to be losing months and months of future output with the new Brexit deal James must be tempted to fill in the gaps with more attacks on women more successful than himself.

I don't fully understand The Windsor Framework ... but I don't think the major players do either, or Jobby.
I do get the impression though that the vast majority of people are sick to death of hearing about Brexit and just want to move on, even if that means no tomatoes for a few weeks. This whole thing might accelerate Jobby's descent into utter madness ... which would be amusing.
Tomatoes is largely nothing to do with brexit, please tell me jobbie is blaming the extreme weather and worldwide energy prices hitting supplies on brexit
. Wouldn't surprise me with the amount of fake news brexit viral tweets on this topic.Here in France the stores have tomatoes and cucumbers, but they're over double the normal price in the UK. There's a shortage of supply and they aren't selling to the UK because food prices are much lower. Cucumber in a french Lidl is €1.79

He's having a nasty attack of sour grapes this morning, as it seems that there's a beam of light at the end of the Brexit tunnel.
Just spotted this Tweet he posted recently: 'The first chapter of my new book is supposed to detail all of the things that have measurably deteriorated in the UK since Brexit and/or 2010. Beginning to think I may never finish writing it...' Gawd almighty, he must be hell to live with!

That's what suppliers have been telling James when they've phoned in but he doesn't seem interested in that. There is a shortage because of the weather and supermarkets won't pay raised prices for the goods.

Nice to see. Shame his numerous celeb friends haven't publicly defended him!
No one has time for what experts have to say
He's such a gift for brexit at times. As bad as the brexitors he deplores for being misleading.
The UK supermarkets won't pay more (presumably because they know people won't pay £1.60 a cucumber) to match the doubled wholesale prices so there's little on the shelves. Brexit or not this situation would be pretty much the same.

A weekly blog by Matt Deegan this week is called 'Taking DJs off the Air'. Although there is a brief reference to Steve is mainly concentrates on why presenters leave with very short or no notice.

Poor James ... he's gonna have to be wheeled away from LBC Hannibal Lektor style if everything works out(ish). Peston said last night that he believes everyone is just throughly sick and tired of Brexit and wants to move on; apart from the DUP, James, John Redwood and Mogg of course... quite the company.
Jobby did say he keeps mentioning his book because it puts pressure on him to actually finish it, at first I thought that was just schtick, but I actually think it might be true.
Honestly, who in their right minds would want to read such a negative book? Most people read for escapism!?There are other issues for James on their way.
Other threads on here have been detailing how the music is finally catching up with Jack Monroe and her lies and it seems theft from those she was supposed to be helping.
By backing Jack Monroe 100% James is in danger of being as wrong as he was over Carl Beech.

I have no idea about this Jack Monroe person but I keep hearing the name. I hope all you say is true.
Truth is, I looked the name up I was surprised to see a woman! Man? Anyway ... I was surprised at what came up.

It's all a bit hit and miss but don't let that get in the way of a good story. It's more dramatic to say there are more vegetables in Ukraine than in Watford
M&S was chocker with veg the other day but then I couldn't get a broccoli crown in Tesco
... not the end of the world.
Ridiculous. It's like when jobbie was saying how well the Russian ruble was doing compared to sterling. Ignoring that you can't actually trade rubles so the value they set for it has no relevance. But don't let troublesome facts get in the way of a catchy soundbiteIt's all a bit hit and miss but don't let that get in the way of a good story.

God help me, but I tuned in this morning to see if he had anything positive to say about Sunak's deal.
I was out by 10.10.

Jack has made all sorts of claims about being nonbinary, trans and queer. Then surprised people by boasting about having a relationship with a man.I have no idea about this Jack Monroe person but I keep hearing the name. I hope all you say is true.
But the real issue is about her claims of poverty which do not fit with her many drug fuelled nights at the Groucho Club. Nor with her habit of buying expensive sideboards.
James has backed her 100% with echoes of the Carl Beech saga.
He's let her on air when it was obvious she's quite clearly not stable enough. It made for uncomfortable listening.
Then he never questioned her on bonkers conspiracy stuff that she peddles out. He drops all critical thinking and lets her say nonsense unchallenged. I'm sure there's clips somewhere.
