Sometimes I try to listen to the Ferrari breakfast programme on LBC but it's impossible.
He is so politically biased you can't get a clear view on anything.
Even his so-called experts are politically biased.
They should get someone who isn't stuck in 1980s newspaper political journalism.

We’re going to do this for years aren’t we? Make tentative suggestions about heading back into the EU because Brexit is an isolating, costly moronathon that the country regrets. But Tories and Reform will keep howling ‘Betrayal!’, making progress and prosperity impossible.

(iPaper)
Headline: Starmer plots course for a softer Brexit-as rivals circle Extracts: Sir Keir Starmer's push for a softer Brexit has been labelled as an attempt to appease unruly Labour MPs posing a threat to his leadership. The Prime Minister has said he is prepared to move towards "even closer alignment" with the EU's single market - arguing it would be in the "national interest" to do so. Under pressure over sticky economic growth, and continued whispers of leadership threats, Starmer said the UK should seek to mirror the bloc's trade rules more closely but not rejoin a customs union. The EU's single market was totemic in the Brexit debate because it embodied the central conflict between economic trade and freedom of movement. Starmer's pitch-rolling for a cosier EU-UK relationship came after The i Paper revealed that his leadership rivals are seeking policy proposals for a softer post-Brexit deal - and amid pressure from Labour backbenchers to change course over joining a customs union. One Labour source said there was a "fairly clear consensus" in the party that "Brexit hasn't worked" and the economy would not produce "nearly enough growth" under the current reset. But economists have argued that it is only through rejoining the single market - or becoming a member of the EU again - that the UK would get a significant economic boost. Reform UK MP Danny Kruger; who defected from the Tories last year, said Starmer was being "pushed by his party back into his own preferred position on the EU". The Conservative MP John Hayes, a leading Brexiteer who chairs the party's Common Sense Group, said any attempted alignment with the EU single market would be a "be-trayal of Brexit". "I suspect it would mean kowtowing to the EU” Priti Patel, the shadow Foreign Secretary, said Starmer was embarking on "a desperate bid to appease his backbenchers" by "pursuing alignment with the single market - surrendering our freedom to cut regulation and strike our own trade deals"
