i actually started back in lbc when i was chief exec there in 200a.d tony blair to do a phone—in and literally sit there and push the faders and take the calls. so i'm probably to blame for all of this. now they're all at it, aren't they? i think we took the view — and certainly the people that now run lbc have taken this to fantastic level — that actually it's great to have an unmediated opportunity for listeners to speak directly to politicians. it's great whatjournalists do, and theyjournalists have got knowledge and detail to bring to the party, but it's great also to be able to have real people, unmediated, talking directly and getting the views of politicians. and i think it's a good thing and it's been a good thing for democracy, and it'll be interesting to see how ruth gets on on times radio. good luck to them. ok, phil, we'll come back to you in a moment. but let's start with the dramatic scenes that i expect will be dominating tomorrow's front pages. borisjohnson appeared at prime minister's questions today after a pretty dramatic morning, w

between impartiality within programmes, and balance across a network that the likes of radio station lbctum within our news culture is with those who can best grab that attention. but generating noise is easy. generating news is hard and expensive. gb news will galvanise british broadcasting, but it will do so mainly by accelerating trends that we are already seeing, online and in america, towards big personalities. we do not need further division by creating a system of broadcasting where people only see the opinions that they like. i must listen to opinions i don't agree with, and i don't like. that's how i come to know the truth. morgan wasn't out of a job for long. he signed a deal with rupert murdoch's news corp and fox news to launch a global tv show, and become a columnist. but andrew neil left his role at gb news after presenting just a few programmes. he told question time why. the differences were such that the direction they were going in was not the direction that i had outlined, was not the direction i had envisaged for the channel. but i was in a minority of one. despite in

so let me pick up and bring you sound from the opposition labor leader speaking to lbc earlier this morninglisten to what he had to say. >> he's lost all authority and that matters, whichever party you're in. we're still in the pandemic, it's very important that people behave in the way that we need them to behave but he's lost the authority to ask people to do so. but even if you put that on one side, we have an energy bill crisis we've got waiting lists in our hospitals. we've got russian troops on the border with ukraine, we have big issues going on and we have a prime minister who's too weak to lead he's lost his authority. and i feel that britain is paralyzed by the weakness of the prime minister, and that's not in the national interest whichever party you're in. >> the labor leader speaking about what he thinks the prime minister needs to do now boris johnson is reportedly preparing to scrap covid self-isolation laws. they'll work on the policies in the coming weeks with the announcement to revoke emergency coronavirus measures coming as soon as this spring. omicron cases are falling

within hours of douglas ross' comments, the leader of the house of commons jacob rees—mogg told lbc radiooss was a �*big figure'. he doubled down on that on bbc newsnight, with kirsty wark. douglas ross has always been quite a lightweight figure, so i don't think that... oof! sorry, hang on, the leader of the scottish conservatives, an msp and an mp is a lightweight figure? _ i think the scottish secretary is a much more substantial and important figure in this. but we're talking about 31 scottish msps. there are two reasons the mood could get worse. the times reports that borisjohnson had told tory mps privately yesterday in the commons tea room he did not believe that he had personally done anything wrong and said that we're taking hits for something we don't deserve. the times also has the latest yougov poll — "six in ten voters believed that johnson should resign, including 38% of those who voted tory at the last election." this was conducted before wednesday's apology. it's worth reminding you of the events of may 2020, when the drinks party took place. we know 30 people attended. in
