Any sign yet of Andrea Leadsom's tax returns being published.
What she promised to do if she made the final two. Maybe they are at the creative writers who did such sterling work on her cv?

Astonishing is becoming the new norm.
Is there anyone left of the main brexit leaders who hasn't dropped off the scale post Brexit?

Wonder if the new brexit minister David Davis continue to use the European courts to overturn policy that came from the new PM.

Why this idiot is anywhere near a position of power in the cabinet is beyond me. Thank goodness she never became PM, we all should be grateful about that.

When it comes to the Labour Party and how Anti Corbyn MP's are trying to oust Corbyn, I'm finding Iain Dale far too one sided on this in favour of those that want him out and or are Blairites.

This is reflected in the Blairite guests he has on(like former Blair adviser John Mcternan yesterday) and the obvious points he overlooks too such as how when Corbyn has opposed things like any further cuts to the Police, Tax credit cuts and Austerity, that the Government have changed their policy on them. ID has not been mentioning any of those things and he and other presenters like Clive Bull and to some extent the rest are all doing the same. Not good enough nor right!

He too is leaving it to callers to point on key obvious points about JC like I already mentioned above, he could put out the flip side himself more.

Well LBC and the MSM have been anti-Corbyn from the moment he entered the Labour leadership contest last year. We have lived in and adopted a Thatcherite society for 35 years, and only a small minority want to return to pre-Thatcher days.

Corbyn may have suggested a few decent ideas and he's probably one of the most honest MPs in the House. But he's also come up with some incredibly dumb and dangerous ideas. I'm no Blairite and would prefer a Lefty MP to lead Labour. But Corbyn lacks any kind of pragmatism and common-sense. So he should be strongly challenged and put though the hoops He's the wrong man for the job, and it sticks out a mile, regardless of one's politics,

I disagree. If you add up the total votes for centre left parties and take into account the millions of ex Labour voters that switched to UKIP in 2015 then the centre left well outnumbers the votes for the Tories and UKIP's right wing economic brigade. This is another key point that LBC presenters choose not to mention. The centre left vote is split among 6 different centre left parties because when Labour and now the Libs get into power, they keep on watering down or scrapping too many key policies and their disillusioned voters switch to other parties.

If Labour MP's had any brains, they'd be trying to get back the 15 Million centre left voters that do vote in General Elections and campaign to get as many of the 35% that don't vote to vote if they are centre left too that is which I suspect many are as the Tories tend to get very high turnouts of their supporters even in safe seats where the opposite is true with Labour in their safe seats.

Iain Dale this afternoon has been an utter disgrace. During the first hour he said that to discuss the policy points that Owen Smith had made would "take all day" but then he devoted a whole hour to some stupid comment that SMith had made even though he, (Dale) admitted that he didn't understand it. Then he prattles on about the media not focusing on the real issues. Not London's Bullshit Company's finest hour.

I'm inclined to agree with you there David. I tuned in at the end of the hour and remember thinking what a non story it was, how glad I was that I'd missed most of it and that I had the next hour of another subject to look forward to. I get quite annoyed when they do this in the MSM. They did this a few weeks ago with Andrea Leasom supposedly saying she'd make a better leader being a mother. Another non story but I personally would go conspiracy reasons as to why they did this.
