Nigel Farage tells GB News that Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador shows his judgement is "seriously wrong" and he should stand down as Prime Minister.

Here's what Farage said when Mandelson was appointed

Gave it a chance but JOB asking for callers who have changed their view on Starmer over the last couple of days.

That's those who now claim they don't support him. No different from the dodgy polls he talks about. The question you ask makes all the difference.

@LBC gets switched off early today.

This is Nigel Farage with Nick Candy, the treasurer of Reform UK 👇

Candy appears numerous times in the Epstein files over more than a decade, The National has uncovered.

The Scottish Greens are putting pressure on Reform to explain the links.

Starmer is probably the most decent man to hold the PM post since Gordon Brown. He's being hounded out in the same way.

That's my view, Mandelson has contacts in Washington, knows how it works and is a fixer, there's nothing to suggest he did anything other than a good job. And Starmer acted quickly as you say, unlike the Tories over the years who developed a reputation for never resigning or being booted out.

Just a thought, if Starmer is being called in to step down for something Mandelson did in 2009 when Starmer wasn't even an MP shouldn't Farage step down for what Nathan Gill did when he was a Brexit Party Ltd MEP and Farage was party leader🤔

This.

If you are calling for Starmer to go over Mandelson, give your fucking head a wobble.

Reform are the real enemy.

The media is a real problem.

You are doing the work of Reform/the media/Russia for them if you are using this as another way to bash Starmer and Labour.

Fight the real enemy!

There was absolutely NOTHING in the Chancellors press conference to suggest income tax was going up.

That was the media.

Again.

Going into it believing it was going up a coming out of it repeating the claim.

I never thought it was going up before & didn't think it after.

I think I am now done with @LBC weekdays.

First to go was 1-4 thanks to horrific transphobia.

Now I don't think I can stomach 10-1 either as he seems determined to believe everything negative about the government reporting rumours as facts.

This is the clip the Chancellor put out after her press conference.

It is therefore obvious this was the key message she wanted people to take away.

Where in this message do we get the idea of income tax rises?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social
Here is a short message the Chancellor wants you to take away from her speech today, rather than the nonsense put out by the media.

"A budget that protects the NHS, reduces our debt and improves the cost of living.

A budget that puts your priorities first.

An economy that works for everyone."

The Conservative party accuses Keir Starmer of refusing to take child abuse seriously.

In other news, here's former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson complaining about £60 million being "spaffed up the wall" investigating historic child abuse cases

Anyone on here who isn't just chatting politics the entire time?

I do like a bit of that, but I also like a bit of light-hearted stuff as I don't want my head to explode.

Oh, and he appears to be quite supportive of the racists trying to burn down people in hotels in the summer, while insulting neurodivergent people as a bonus.

"if accused of being far right / hate speech in court do we think saying 'i'm on the spectrum' would get you off?”

What a peach.
So, Tory donor JCB boss gave staff the day off to go to farmers' protest, which - it turns out - was organised by online troll, who posted "only a disabled, unemployed, black, LGBT, transgender, non tax paying, homeless, vegan immigrant" would vote for Labour. 🤨 ~AA

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Charlie living up to his name there talking to @mrjamesob.bsky.social on LBC

What a bizarre conversation.

Charlie doesn't understand the point @mrjamesob.bsky.social is making about house prices does he.

The B&B point is valid.

He's very rude.

If you're shouting, you're probably losing the argument.

Why aren't farmers protesting against people like Clarkson, Dyson and the like who have really caused the inheritance tax changes?

Why aren't they directing their anger at those openly hoarding land in order to avoid paying tax on their vast wealth?
