Coffey sitting in York University expounding on Tory policy's benefits to London is a curious misreading of the room. #bbcaq

She also quoted the Fabian G.B. Shaw, which was a curious thing for a Tory leader to do. Bit like if Starmer had decided to flavour his conference speech with a bon mot from Dennis Wheatley.

James O'Brien's work providing amusing commentary on @LBC currently being undone by ex Scum hack Natasha Clark coming on and saying how good Bad Enoch's speech was. Pay what it takes, bring back Theo.

Are there any reports that George Monbiot was arrested for murder after last night's recording? Because I'm listening to it happening right now. #bbcaq

Chris Mason will on it quick-smart. Trust me on this one - that guy's the new Woodward and Bernstein combined and is absolutely *not* a toadying very 'umble Uriah Heep lookalike with puppy love for Farage.

P.S. a family sized tin of Alphabetti Spaghetti fell on my head when I was a child.

Name names: a mucus trail from the ventral slug-foot of an egregious Farage fluffer is trackable down the corridor, Ferrari having just vacated the studio. The currently sunken O'Brien cojones would come into greater relief if you called Ferrari out on this rather than just alluding to it.

I've only heard a clip but Farage's Swan-eating regurgitation was seemingly unchallenged by Ferrari beyond "Oh, really? I thought it was only Koi Carp." @LBC @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Maybe don't invite panelists on from think tanks where this applies... #bbcaq

I suspect, if the phone lines hadn’t gone, that bellend would have been kept on all show. #bbcaq

Perhaps mention that Glinner advised his blue-tick-wanker X followers to kick trans-identifying males in the balls. #bbcaq

Valhalla is not a 'cryptic' reference to Viking mythology, it is an explicit one. #C4News

Bog-brush jacksie impalement makes you sound more like Tiny Tim than Jason Rees-Mogg. I have empirical evidence of that. @LBC @mrjamesob.bsky.social

At home with Chris Mason.

Sherelle Jacobs' contribution are the final proof that Daily Telegraph recruitment policy has 'batshit crazy' as a minimum requirement. #bbcaq

Labour scandals cause Chris Mason to ejaculate at Warp Factor 9; when it was the Tories he could barely muster a 3.

Funnily, the phrase ‘sorry, go away’ also came to my mind there, but directed at the caller, more saltily phrased and minus the apology. #bbcaq

Yes, call the bigot back, why don't you? #bbcaq

#c4news needs to keep Krishnan on hand to deal with these propagandists. Matt doesn’t have what it takes.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Did you intend for a preview featuring Ferrari bemoaning crime escalation to come on *immediately* after you'd trailed a feature on dodgy news outlets bemoaning crime escalation, or was it just fortuitous timing? #LBC
