Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash… and I'm delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever!

  • Baron Munchausen

  • The changes to Education are also worth watching. They are designed to remove what meagre SEN support children already get and shut down specialist provisions in favour of "mainstreaming". They are also shutting the door on future SEN children by stopping EHCPs while promising that those currently with them will be protected. The funding for this: a one-off sum of £4 billion spread over 3 years and then... mainstream schools will have to pay for SEN out of their existing budgets.

    Let's be honest. This is something even the Tories would have hesitated about and another example of why Labour - like all political parties in Westminster - are NOT on our side.

  • Yep. It's lovely to walk behind someone in the local high street while they spew cigarette smoke or stinking vape clouds over their shoulders! Smokers should have air conditioned rooms or designated areas away from other if they want to carry out their anti-social behaviours.

  • Wes Streeting: the one Mandelson has been grooming for many years. Let's hope Labour MPs remember that and see him off into the political wilderness. Streeting's the Nega-Nigel and not in a positive way.

  • By "radical" what do you mean? Changed the ownership of the means of production? Or enabled policies to ban plastic straws?

  • I'm less sure. Where have the Greens made social change elsewhere (in Europe)? At best the Greens are a broad political alliance that will splinter the closer they get to any power.

  • 5.4 million paid less than the minimum wage? Let's see if that will be given much coverage in the media... oh, look over there: Keir Starmer in leadership battle... over there: antisemetic terrorists... over there: cruise ship of death!

  • Fingers crossed. I wonder whether the Reform supporter base will get burned out by the time of the general election. A mixture of inexperience, not realising you have to actually do work for no pay as a councillor and some "character flaws" that suggest they don't play nicely together could mean that their activitsts will have had enough of things within a year or two. Regardless of what Farage says about growing, there is an limited base for Reform in UK.

  • Polanski's time in the sun. What a fool for lying. It'll impact negatively on Green supporters. Rightly so: it's a matter ofvtrust. Funny how the Right always get a wave of the hand over stuff like this, though.

  • my bins won't get collected, the roads will still be full of potholes, and there won't be any buses at all

    Come to Kent where Reform have been pretending to run for over a year now. It's like that already and we get the benefit of them selling off all the publically-owned stuff that even the Tories didn't dare.

  • If Russia and China gave up nukes, would that mean we have leverage and would immediately invade? Silly me, all British people want nothing more than to attack our "enemies" and restore the Empire!

    (I'm still scratching my head about all those countries that don't have nukes. Hmmm... maybe Iran SHOULD be seeking to arm themselves with nukes if they want better "leverage".

  • (I'm no fan of the CCCP but) Are you talking about China's use of troops in Mali under the banner of the United Nations? Aren't the other conflicts to do with border clashes between places like Cambodia and Thailand? If that's the definition of "war" then the UK's been waging "wars" almost non-stop since 1945.

  • And here I was thinking it was just a fun run in the park!

  • Sooner we get Immortan Joe and his cultists elected and the UK collapses into a wasteland of shortages, fighting and driving round in armoured vehicles, the better.

  • Why is their segregation on a fun run at all? Don't all people just... run together... for fun?

  • You're right... it'll be... Right.

  • There's even madmen in charge and arms dealers in Russia, don't you know? Sure that you know there's been conflict in the Crimea for centuries and there are some quite complex reasons why. I'm_ sorry that you feel that foreigners are out to get you and you need the ability to murderously exterminate them with nukes to feel safe - but each to their own.

    But, when Vlad Putin is driving round my estate in a bright red sports car, the local Coop's a Magnit superstore and Mr and Mr Boloksoff have camped in my back garden and are eyeing up the sofa in my front room I'll apologise and say "Blimey, we really shoud have turned Eastern Europe to ashes in a huge cloud of atomic radiation when had the chance! Bastards!"

  • And you think these countries (China - which hasn't been involved in military conflict for over 50 years - and Russia and ??) are secretly planning what? Invasion? Steal our women? Drive tanks through our front gardens? Eat our cats and dogs? Both those countries already own a great deal of property and investments here in the UK. People of China and Russia are like most of us: want peace. We're governed by madmen and arms dealers who want to make us feel frightened and insecure all the time.

  • Each missile costs up to £5 million to maintain per year. Think of all those arm manufacturers bonuses at risk if everyone had your attitude.

  • I wonder how all the other countries without nuclear weapons of mass destruction cope? Glad to live in the UK where we can kill millions at the push of a button.

  • Ferrari on LBC talked about every other party, too. I'm sure the anodyne interview with Caroline Lucas at about 7am will be LBC's justification of balanced coverage.
