This is part of the problem with the US: political judiciary.
Here in the UK, our judges are independent, which may explain why a right wing politician (Robert Jenrick) referred to our Supreme Court as “activist judges”. Independent means anything the right doesn’t like.

When I visited TM off the A38 between Plymouth and Exeter (around 20 years ago), I couldn’t the amount of anti EU posters around the site.

The funniest thing about Jurgen Klopp is the Trivago ad proving how out of touch Americans are with football.

Sadly, our media is more interested in putting on a show for ratings instead of presenting intelligent debate.

Sadly, I have doubts about whether the US will ever be ready to elect a female president, unless both parties field women candidates.

What do you mean “ordinary folk”? I sense that the ones who are convinced by everything Farage says also consider themselves to be “ordinary folk”.

I’m not a Man U fan. There are times when I can’t stand them.
However, I can’t deny the utter brilliance of Best/Law/Charlton, and I’ve heard much about Duncan Edwards. A certain thuggish Frenchman isn’t fit to lace their boots, nor is a preening diver from Portugal.

Rep Crockett. Please come over to the UK and appear on Question Time and Have I Got News For You. I think if anyone could gag Nigel Farage, it’s you.
I would love to see you in the White House, but I fear a lot of US voters would - again - be persuaded to fear an intelligent, charismatic black woman

It would be nice if they got invited to panels more often. At PMQs, Ed Davey’s questions are always measured and thoughtful.

When will the government replace the Tories at the head of the BBC with independent management, as well as giving OFCOM teeth. Maybe then the BBC will stop constantly platforming right wing mouthpieces so often.

That relies on introducing a fairer voting system. I’m not allowing my pleasure at this year’s election outcome override my desire to see PR introduced.

After five months, and with hostile media pandering to voters with short attention spans, and making mountains out of molehills like taking down Shakespeare’s portrait?
It’s depressing that anyone would think a new administration can turn things round by flicking a switch.

He knows that LBC has a range of views among its hosts. My problems with him are that he voted for Boris Johnson as London Mayor in 2008, and he meekly trotted out the party line over Sangita Myska’s departure from LBC.

Not an audition. He was on the roster of hosts from 2014-18. By 2018, having hosted the show on LBC for a few years, his political views were well known.

James O'Brien parts ways with BBC Newsnight rather than 'wind neck in' on Brexit and Trump
James O’Brien has parted ways with BBC’s Newsnight. The broadcaster is an open critic of Brexit and US President Donald Trump, views which he airs on his daily LBC radio show. But his opinionated appr...
