From 7 @lbc.co.uk: has the Burnham Bounce flattened Polanski’s Greens? Should King Charles apologise for slavery on his Caribbean tour? And do you back Tory plans to give rich people taxpayer help with their childcare? 📞 0345 6060973

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: 15 years for ULEZ camera bomber: has justice been served? If neither nationalisation nor privatisation works for customers what does? And Trump wants our diesel to buy votes in the US midterms. Should we tell him to do one? 📞0345 6060973 Aaron in background!

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: Burnham blames Brexit for dividing Britain. Can the rift be healed? Tories want to deport 40k foreign law breakers - but what if we get British crooks deported from foreign jails by return? And will Labour’s Nature Restoration Fund do anything to restore nature? 📞0345 6060973 x

WOW! 😮 🔥 I’m starting a YouTube channel to tell people what politicians are really doing to the NHS🚨. Not everyone has time to read long newsletters so I’m going to make videos to explain what’s going on. I’m hoping to find my first 1000 subscribers and we’re 2/3 of…

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: can the government reign in social media when it’s a heavy user itself? Is AI the new Cold War - can we trust the USA and China to keep us safe? 😂😂 And are our railways 😤 so broken they’re beyond repair? 📞 0345 6060973

Most of those who walked out will have back-room deals with Israel in cybersecurity or weapons. 🙄

Dean Martin is still my mate to this day! 😂 But 1999… WTF?! 😮 I was there! We sneaked down to where they were doing the DJ interviews and spent the whole time trying our best to put him off during the interview. 😂 Feels like yesterday, not 27 years ago!

UK politics funded by billionaires, mega-donations surge as the rich buy power. £179m donated by wealthy individuals since 2019. A cap at £100,000 or £500,000 won't do. Only the rich can enter political auctions Can't end political corruption without ending donations.

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: should Andy Burnham go to the country now he’s flying high in the polls? Is platforming tax-avoiding foreign-based billionaires like Jim Ratcliffe an example of all that is wrong with this country? And will jailing parents for their kids’ crimes teach anyone a lesson? 0345 6060973

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: harbingers of doom predict the next budget will be grim - are you ready for more pain? Is the abuse of elected politicians harming our democracy? And are the ‘legitimate concerns’ about refugees voiced in Piddington legitimate when you look at the data? 📞0345 6060973

I do like a bit of Timo Maas. When I was younger, my mum would shout upstairs to turn up Timo Maas’s remix of Azzido Da Bass.🤣
