There's barely any pretence at balance on LBC these days. Top of my head their recent recruitments
Lammy
Devon
Myska
Marr
Kentish
Goodall
Maitlis
Sopel
All clearly tacking left, some to the extremes. I've no doubt when Ferrari gives up, they'll slot someone from that wing into the slot.
Thoughts and prayers with the obsessives elsewhere.

O'Brien turned up on the Media Show on Radio 4 and tried to make it all about himself by interrogating one of the other guests and ended up with him sneering 'I always insist that people back up their opinions with evidence'
Except you didn't when it comes to someone subsequently convicted as a paedophile, a fantasist and a liar.

Plus with problems abounding in European banks James will be desperate for diversions.
Expect plenty of name calling....
Apart from Marr occasionally, I don't listen to any of those named above.
Was it a comedy programme? Surely nobody invited O'Brien onto a programme about impartiality.
After all even BBC Newsnight gave him the boot because he is so obviously biased....
Well ... I think there are nauances, everyone is biased in someway, but if you're a deeply unpleasant bleep you're more likely to get the heave-ho if an opportunity arises, know what I mean?
Many of the Beeb's regular radio and TV journalists were on strike yesterday in protest over the decision to axe BBC local radio. Perhaps they were desperate.
I'm listening to talk radio, radio 4, GB news radio and sometimes times radio.
At least on those stations the programming doesn't merge all into one.
Ex lbc Head girl bev turner and Tory boy Peirce have a show on GB news to compete with Jobbie. They don't bounce off each other very well and it's often cumbersome, won't last long but I keep listening to the mess of it.
I'm most likely to listen back to talk's Vanessa feltz in place of Steve. Way too topical for a replacement, but at least it's a presenter who doesn't merge into the lbc generic.
Times radio is good for book recommendations.
World Service has some interesting stuff. Good to snooze to also because there are no loud irritating adverts.
Andrew Pierce is actually more despicable than James on the personality front
I know that's hard to beleive.Sadly for him tomatoes seem to be back on the shelves along with peppers and cucumbers..
The grisly Mick Lynch continues to parade his ugly mug for the dwindling cameras.. J will no doubt be eulogising him as usual
Lot's of strike action in Germany ... lot's of football crowd trouble involving Germans too. I wonder if that'll get a mention? Let us know.
Honestly though, I know London's banking sector has a bad (or good depending on your point of view) reputation for laundering money, but who here doesn't think that's all Switzerland actually does! A giant money laundering washing machine for anyone and everyone, with some added right-wing tendencies to boot. Strange country ... quite sinister imo. I mean, cookoo clocks? Weird.
Dawood & Tanner celebrate their 30th Anniversary this week!!!!
Pop along & join in the festivities with Charlie Mullins, Andrew Pierce and other satisfied clients!! (tba)

Regarding banking ... James will no doubt bring up that time on Newsnight when he was asked to interview Pascal Lamy of the WTO and Andrea Leadsom. He's never gotten over it. Never been able to move past it. It lingers over him like a cloud. It's quite hilarious ... (and scary).
I think Mullins and Pierce share the same set. Has anybody seen them both in the same room at the same time?Charlie mullins 90 yr old
Teef 5 yr old
James was fighting off a cold today so not running on all cylinders ... stuck to his version of Monty Python with 'what has the budget ever done for you' and getting excited about some uranium that has gone missing. This was followed by Mystery Hour. All pretty dull.
I miss the contributions of Farmer Bob in the old place. His pictures of a horse's gnashers at any mention of D&T used to make me smile.
What's Raab done to deserve his ire?
