I’d like to know if those with “legitimate concerns” are more or less intimidated by a large group of balaclava clad men all dressed in black, than a few bored looking asylum seekers milling around outside a hotel.

Does Robert Jenrick believe assaulting women is acceptable if it happens at a party conference and the perpetrators are white pensioners?

Nick Ferrari refers to the rape of a 21 year old “girl” by two immigrants. This crime is horrific enough yet his instinct is to infantilise the victim purely to rile up his listeners.

Robert Jenrick tells Nick Ferrari that people could find work in Libraries or as council administrators??? Other opportunities include magic carpet cleaner and unicorn horn polisher.

It may be too late for 22,000+ racist imbeciles, but this result should be a wake up call to our government, that Clacton needs a significant boost to its education budget.

Nadhim Zahawi on GMB today referred to the parliamentary standards committee as a kangaroo court. I expect similar utterances will be forthcoming from other Reform defects. I wonder if he feels the same about HMRC?

On a happier note, in my local council election, (caused by the rapid resignation of a Reform councillor) the Lib Dem candidate won.

As Ferrari sits in his air conditioned LBC studio, encouraging listeners to outdo each other on who’s got the hottest workplace, he makes no mention of the politicians and companies allowing this to happen.

I wonder what it is that leads Nick Ferrari’s callers to believe their human rights will be protected while others are stripped of theirs.

There are many reasons Reform want to leave the ECHR. Imo immigration comes way down their list, behind a bonfire of workers rights, torching of the free press, & our right to free & fair elections. They just pretend it’s about immigration to get the racist votes.

As Nick Ferrari encourages morons to call in whining about Angela Rayner’s severance pay, has anyone mentioned the £115000 per annum, Liz Truss is entitled to claim after her brief stint wrecking the country?

Suzanna Reid just asked Kwasi Kwarteng, as a former chancellor, what advice he’d give Andy Burnham. Surely this is satire.

I think press ownership, bias and regulation is THE biggest issue of them all. You can't have any meaningful democracy, if what the people *think* they are voting for, is not what they are voting for.

Well why not? It’s taken well over a decade for professional journalists in the UK to apply some proper scrutiny to Nigel Farage.

Glad Burnham’s subjected himself to the glaring political scrutiny of Gary Lineker. Next he could face up to Deborah Meaden, or the guy who sits next to him at Everton.

Alright, listen up - here's what's happened Donald Trump described Keir Starmer as a tough negotiator & his friend Then Putin texted "Agent Krasnov" like "WTF are u doing Help bring him down, u bubonic paedophile" & so began a series of unhinged, factless posts about Chagos, Iran & Free Speech...

Those blaming our overwhelmingly right wing media for Starmer’s unpopularity, should ask themselves, what has he done to improve media regulation? It’s our democracy at stake here, not just his political career.

Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin has posted this crass video. If you or anyone else is in immediate danger, call 999. If you can’t talk, dial 55 on a mobile. You can also contact National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247.

Tory MP Laura Trott tells Nick Ferrari that her niece saw an advert for a machete on YouTube kids. I think someone ought to check that kid’s search history.

I was doubtful about the policy of disclosing the ethnicity of perpetrators of violence, I didn’t trust the authorities or media to be evenhanded. As I predicted, it’s not the vacuum of information that causes riots, but the incitement from those on the far right with a platform.

Does Christopher Hope’s spat with Tice on GB news suggest a realisation, that by paving the way for a far right Reform government, he’s going to find himself on the wrong side of history?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Musks motivation is distraction. The hoarding of wealth is behind our problems but he’s desperate to deflect blame and knows there are numerous hard of thinking racists who are all too willing to blame migrants.

We revoke the citizenship of a woman groomed as a teenager, yet this man is free to incite riots on UK soil, from Moscow. Who’s the bigger threat to national security?

Caller to @lbc.co.uk confronts Ferrari with some stats on knife crime and asks why no riots after the previous incidents. Ferrari responds with what are those with “concerns” supposed to do? Is he seeking to defend rioters and arsonists, who likely have a string of previous convictions?

Farage should be prosecuted for incitement. But not jailed. He’s cost this country far too much money already. I’d like to see him get a hefty fine. £5 million ought to cover it.

It’s strange how, when the LBC switchboard accidentally lets a sensible person get through to speak to Nick Ferrari, and presents him with some facts, it’s always time to cut to the news. Like the caller who just challenged Jenrick’s racially motivated two tier policing claims.

I trust @lbc.co.uk presenters will be inviting callers to misrepresent the policies of all the political parties involved in the upcoming local elections and not just those of the Green Party. @electoralcommission.org.uk

More weapons grade hypocrisy from the Tories. IDS bemoans the scourge of shoplifting whilst apparently forgetting he was part of the government that cut police numbers.

Just for once, rather than allowing Richard Tice to give his usual, well rehearsed speech on dangerous immigrants and scrapping the human rights act, I’d love to hear him asked what Reform’s plan is to resolve our massive social care crisis.

Seriously! Why not get one of your researchers to look at some of their candidates.

Would Reform UK do a better job of vetting officials? 🔍 + What are their prospects in upcoming elections? 🗳️ Robert will speak to Reform’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick about this and much more on tonight's show #Peston
