Attn Mr Lammy -

Ofcom has begun research to gauge audience attitudes towards politicians presenting current affairs programmes, amid the proliferation of such programmes of news broadcasters such as Talk TV and GB News.

Ofcom had also written to the DCMS to clarify rules surrounding politicians presenting TV and radio programmes, which currently states that no politician may be used as a newsreader, interviewer or reporter unless justified editorially.

Ofcom had stated late last year that politicians were allowed to front such shows outside of election periods, as the programmes are considered current affairs programmes rather than news. However, the regulator is now exploring whether this definition is still relevant and effective.

So, are we saying Mr Lammy shouldn't be presenting on LBC, but rather Radio Two? Could he be the next Ken Bruce? 😬

But would he not slip in requests for Mr Starmer or Ms Harman etc. ! I wonder what music he would select maybe "Here's an oldie for you, from 1973, The Strawbs and 'Part of the Union' !! (It's on You Tube if you don't know it!).

Steve you really need to add photos to your posts!

I remember an apple having too much sugar for your diabetes, but one of these is just fine 😆

Everybody is obviously enjoying this 'ice cream' hence no posts today!

Just thought I would mention a slight irritation on LBC. Obviously the instruction (from above) is that when announcing the news bulletins at quarter past /to and half hour to give out the newsreader's name. At the ToTH (top of the hour) they should at best just say "here is the news". Virtually everyday Nick F mentions the newsreader's name - they say it for themselves! If I was a newsreader I would say "I'm err Thomas ..." !!!

BTW There are more important things to be concerned about than the newsreader's name !!!
 
Oh dear, Nick talking about the role played by Tom Watson and others, who supported Carl Beech in his unfounded accusations of child molesting against men, which caused them and their families so much distress. Wasn't just Tom Watson, was it, James? Perhaps it's a spot of payback for Jobbie's snide references to 'other presenters'.

I think the issue had been raised by the Prime Minister
