@matthew-wright.bsky.social do not let companies trade in this country unless they pay some tax. Amazon turnover 37 billion in the UK but pay no tax. Work that out.
@matthew-wright.bsky.social having to stop listening to LBC, all the discussions day in day out are about war. There is a serious cost of living crisis in this country mainly caused by our exiting the EU. Can we talk about that on a daily basis please.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social we are currently in France looking for a new home. The UK feels the way it did when I grew up in the 70s. When will Mind your language be revamped and shown on British TV?
Running out of time to say stuff as phones go away on holiday but I end year in a far, far better state than I started it and aside from Amelia, Cassady, Elliot and team at LBC and my chums new and old I’m also very grateful for the support and understanding I’ve received here from so many of you x
Merry Christmas! From 7 @lbc.co.uk: has the EU failed to unite behind Ukraine? Kemi Badenoch has refused to back Labour’s strategy to protect women from male violence saying the whole problem is due to migrants - discuss! Plus if higher wages won’t get 1m NEETs working what will? 0345 6060973 x
@matthew-wright.bsky.social Merry Christmas Matthew, thanks for being my favourite radio broadcaster in 2024. Enjoy your break.
@matthew-wright.bsky.social please can we stop calling Facebook social media. Their global ad revenue for that one platform is £100 billion. They are all ad platforms.
Councillors have been caught on camera, making comments about a resident whilst out canvassing, using mobile phones during meetings and making accusations about Councillors from another political group. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0YE...

@matthew-wright.bsky.social just listening to today’s show. The problem could be solved easily. Just legalise, why would we as a society send our most vulnerable to the most unscrupulous dealers.
I left the United States for that very reason (aka trump), to return to the UK after 20 yrs in New York. And now it looks like I’m going to have to find another country in 3-4 yrs time.
From 7 @lbc.co.uk antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism, even hatred towards women is the rise. How do we assuage all this anger? Will giving Britain a version of Trump’s ICE goons save the Tories? And do slow workers deserve the sack? 0345 6060973 x
@matthew-wright.bsky.social it’s so upsetting the realisation that the UK is not the tolerant country I believed I lived in….
Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty to taking bribes from Russia to make pro Russian statements. Richard Tice - Deputy Leader of Reform: I have never met Nathan Gill and he has nothing to do with Reform. Well ok then…
On @lbc.co.uk from 7: Labour tries to bring in ID cards again. Why, why now? Can Keir Starmer cash in on rising nationalist tendencies with a positive narrative to counter all the backward-looking ones? And naming and shaming offenders doing community punishments - what’s the point? 0345 6060973
@matthew-wright.bsky.social Why don’t we just realise prison is just for punishment. All people want is a pound of flesh. I think we should actually try to rehabilitate these individuals not shaming.
You need to revolt like the French first. And reset the way wealth is distributed. After all, it is the 99% who make it for the 1% who keep it. Otherwise, the powers that be will continue to rape and pillage the country on a scale Ragnar Lothbrok could only ever dream about.
And why the people who peddled all this bullshit need to be held to account. It’s one thing people being dense and voting for it, but all those who openly lied to con those people into believing it need to be punished.
UK ECONOMY since Brexit ⛽️ Gas up 94.1% ⚡️ Electric up 78% ⛽️ Fuel up 49.3% 🏨 Hotels up 37.8% 🏡 Rent up 25% 🍲 Food up 25% 💷Average earnings down 2.8% Now can you see why we need to Rejoin?
@mrjamesob.bsky.social it’s all about money. The uk ad market has grown massively in the last 20 years, digital advertising now accounts for 70% of all ad revenues in the uk (35billion) unless regulated it will grow even more powerful. It needs to be regulated

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Thanks to you and other media correspondents racism is rife in the UK. When discussing business with a member of my family I was asked “are you still accepting Jew money”. This level of racism is now affecting everything.
