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

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

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 as MPs vote down the assisted dying bill they’d previously supported is it time to decide matters of conscience by referenda instead? Is AI-fuelled economic growth anything to celebrate? And how important is better paternity leave for you? 📞0345 6060973

Just heard the saddest news. My friend Keith "Tha Missile Bass" Bailey whose band Here and Now were the best thing to happen in my life has left us to play the great gig in the sky. Aside from his music he was an absolutely top fella and a legend on the festival scene. Heartbreaking news. RIP mate x

From 7 @lbc.co.uk - one of Andy Burnham’s top priorities is to end rough sleeping but is it one of yours? Is the PM’s vision of a new railway linking Birmingham to Manchester just the ticket? And Smart 👓Specs: do the cons outweigh the pros? 📞0345 6060973 x

Matthew Wright @matthew-wright.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
On @lbc.co.uk at 7: Is our thirst for AI going to make life in Britain unbearably hot? How can John Healey rein in Britain’s spiralling debt? And are Harry and Meghan victims of a media pile on just one week after Jason Arday’s death following a media pile on? We never learn do we? 📞 0345 6060973

Matthew Wright @matthew-wright.bsky.social · 16/08/2026
From 7 @lbc.co.uk: as PM calls for reflection over death of academic Jason Arday, your thoughts on media pile ons. Wildfires and burned out homes - the new normal for a UK summer? And yr calls too on new polls that suggest we haven’t fallen out of love with Labour and Tories after all! 📞0345 6050973

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: is it time to call Last Orders on parliament’s drinking culture? Should men stand aside to insure Labour’s next leader is a woman? Harriet Harman says they should! And chancellor John Healey is looking for cuts - but where should his axe fall? 📞0345 6060973 x

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: 75% of voters in Manchester didn’t bother for the mayoral race. Time for compulsory voting? Do you want your party to work with Andy Burnham to fix social care? And is fairer trade the answer to the global migrant crisis that saw 1000s of Moroccans pour into Spain? 📞 0345 6060973

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: Bold Burnham! Is PM to be saluted for tackling social care? How much will it cost though or maybe you’re happy paying more for better public services? And have 🔥 wildfires 🔥 finally burned all opposition to climate change? 📞 0345 6060973

From 7am @lbc.co.uk: Burnham suspends early release of prisons so what’s the plan to solve prisons crisis? Housing - Rayner admits she’ll miss manifesto targets. Is that no biggie? And we’ll hear what you’ve made of Andy Burnham first week as PM. Still glad to see the back Starmer? 📞 0345 6060973

For sure and a bit of this when you're stuck inside... needs a clean but it all fits which is a relief. Fitting back into the bike looks challenging though to say the least!!!

Matthew Wright @matthew-wright.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
@lbc.co.uk from 7: is Andy Burnham overpromising? Can he really fix something as huge as adult social care and deliver on everything else? What about his decision to Drill, Baby, Drill - disappointed? And should social housing tenancies last for life - even if you win the lottery? 0345 6060973 x

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: Burnham says his premiership will be unashamedly Labour - whatever that means - and he launched a an astonishing broadside against Thatcherism. We’ll get your thought on all that and the UK’s letter of support for FIFA president Infantino 😡😡🤯. Should it be withdrawn? 0345 6060973

@lbc.co.uk from 7: a new poll puts Andy Burnham miles ahead of his rivals - thoughts please. 1/3 of disadvantaged white kids leave primary school with poor reading - how do we fix that? And how will income tax breaks for U25s make those aged 26 and over feel I wonder..Pretty pissed off? 0345 6060973

Matthew Wright @matthew-wright.bsky.social · 04/07/2026
From 7 @lbc.co.uk: Andy Burnham might be pitching himself as a new kind of PM but how’s he going to fund his vision? Rewarding folk for walking - is newspaper outrage misplaced, anyone got a better idea? And was Starmer wrong to green light all night drinking for England’s Mexico clash? 0345 6060973

Matthew Wright @matthew-wright.bsky.social · 27/06/2026
From 7 @lbc.co.uk hot summers cost Britain billions in lost productivity so where’s the plan, man? Why haven’t successive governments solved the UK’s care crisis? And killers and rapists to be released early to ease overcrowded prisons, thoughts please. 0345 6060973 x

From 7 on @lbc.co.uk is Ed Miliband’s green agenda as toxic as one union boss claims? Could Andy Burnham bridge the North/South divide if he becomes PM? And Je ne regrette rien - your thoughts on the Brexit referendum 10 years on 0345 6060973 x.

Matthew Wright @matthew-wright.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
From 7am on @lbc.co.uk: Makerfield - why did a pro-Brexit area that voted Reform in last month's council elections give Andy Burnham such a thumping win? Did Reform blow it by fielding yet another unsavoury candidate? And what next for Keir Starmer? 0345 6060973
