I listen to LBC (@lbc.co.uk) a lot and post in annoyance about some of its presenters' attempts to mislead the public.

Both GB News and Talk TV are now attacking @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Greens as much as they attack Starmer.

Peter Cardwell (Talk TV) is the only exception. He seems to be the only sensible presenter across both stations.

James, I don't think it's just one of the reasons, I think it's elements of all of them.

Shelagh just asked to an excellent caller:"What empire is America trying to build?!"

Can someone @lbc.co.uk show her these comments from Pete Hegseth, calling for a "Greater North America".

CANADA
GREENLAND
CUBA

Now that Ukraine has endured its most brutal winter yet, Europe cannot afford to wait another year to act.

The work needs to be done right now.

We must immediately order more air defense systems and interceptors to protect their power grid

This is violent, sickening rhetoric.

GB News commentator claiming here that non “indigenous” people are committing “genocide” against the UK.

GB News is beyond the fucking pale

It feels like it's much easier for British journos to openly call out the USA's propaganda than it ever is to criticise Likud's propaganda.

@lewisgoodall.com just compared the US lies over the attack ("it was an Iranian missile") to Putin's lies un Ukraine.

But Likud/IDF are the worst for this.

It doesn't matter how "minor" the revelations from the Mandelson documents turn out to be - it will be the new focus of the far right/billionaire led campaign to bring this government down for the next few days and the weekend.

To be fair, James has gone as close as one could humanly go (including today) without saying the man's name, so I do feel he's heard this criticism.

Very telling that public opinion (apparently) doesn't matter to the far-right.

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.

And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.

• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree

UK's 'naughtiest kid' grew up to earn £360k running a school abroad Tom Roberts, 24, featured on Channel 4 's Mr Drew's School in 2014 as a troublesome 11-year-old, who struggled with behavioural problems as he fought and swore his way through the show.

I hate these stories. They're designed to cause status anxiety.

Scum newspapers.

Since the regime hasn't and doesn't look like it's going to fall, the initial aim of the war has failed (regime change).

The next few weeks will be about pretending it's been a resounding success.

Is it a coincidence that Starmer's decision making is showing signs of improvement post-McSweeney?

The head of MI6 is of Russian origin.

ALSO: the far right have banged on about refugees for so long, that even the most anti-migrant, pro-Trump lovers acknowledge that if we destroy Iran, we risk more migrants.

Farage has gone a step too far, even for *his* base.

Parallel with MAGA/Epstein files.

"Why have the British public got it right this time?" asks JOB.

The answer will be one or more of:

a) We've all seen Ukraine
b) Lots of us remember Iraq (Blair's)
c) We know the country's broke
d) We know Trump and Netanyahu aren't to be trusted
e) We see Farage's/Badenoch's hypocrisy

Good to see Rachel Reeves getting out ahead of the right wing prepared attack lines:

- "Shouldn't she have thought about <insert crisis> weeks ago?!"

The malignant, right wing mind virus is entirely predictable - the gov need to get ahead of it and shut it down at source (every time).

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
