On the comedy front, my attention has been drawn to a man called James O’BRIEN. He is on LBC and my goodness me ,he is one of the funniest things going.
Like “Drop the dead donkey” he sends up journalism and the world of journalists..and is very,VERY funny ,sometimes his parody goes a bit far but for the most part his pretence to believe the nonsense he spouts is quite engaging.
This morning is no exception …the line that Starmers not so bad ..he has said sorry….and don’t forget Boris was dreadful and he told lies, is a masterclass in utter stupidity but is a great laugh out loud “listen”.
He also brings brexit into everything and Trump , of course, Trump may be involved in Starmers problems , well after all Starmer appointed Mandleson as Ambassador to please Trump ( who had never met him).?.? you get the point.
The other terrific part of the programme is O’Breins attacks on anybody calling in who disagrees with him…a hyper aggressive Alan Partridge.
It’s an unusual approach but very,VERY funny in small doses.
Has he won any of those Perrier comedy awards? He is the best at pointing out how lost journalism is.

“Rupert Lowe MP
Listening to testimonies it is abundantly clear that countless women in these Pakistani communities knew EXACTLY what their relatives were doing, but said nothing.
In these towns, thousands and thousands knew. The scale of rape would mean it’s impossible not to. Impossible.
I spoke to one survivor who stated that the imam knew because his son was raping a 15 year old friend, impregnating her.
Her words?
‘They look after their own community.’
Please think about what that means, from somebody who understands the consequences of that far better than all of us. In my view, all of these complicit individuals are as guilty as the rapists themselves. This is the ugly truth that almost nobody in parliament wants to confront. But it’s there, it has been for decades. We must now have the courage to call it out.”

BBC TV licence fee is to rise by £5.50 to £180 in fresh blow to millions of families
———————————————————————————–
The BBC TV licence fee is set to rise by £5.50 to £180 a year in a bid to ‘keep the BBC on stable financial footing’.
News of the price hike is set to deal a further blow to millions of households already struggling with rising costs and comes despite the BBC and the previous government striking a deal to keep the licence below £175 a year.
In 2022, it was agreed the licence fee – which must be paid to watch live television or iPlayer – would be linked to inflation until at least 2027.
When the agreement was reached, the licence fee was £159 and was projected to cost less than £175 by its final year. However, higher inflation than predicted has caused the licence fee to be reviewed.
Last November, the Labour Government announced it would rise from £169.50 to £174.50 from April.
The corporation raked in almost £4billion from the levy in 2025.
But the future of the licence fee has come under scrutiny amid a sharp decline in the number of people watching traditional TV channels as viewers continue to turn to streaming services such as Netflix and Prime Video.
The number of licences bought decreased from 24.1 million to 23.8 million in 2024/25, with the drop hitting the BBC’s income in real terms.
In a statement on Friday, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport described the BBC as ‘the UK’s number one media brand, with 94per cent of UK adults using the BBC each month last year.’
The broadcaster ‘remains the UK’s most widely used and trusted news outlet’, it added.
Free licences will remain for people aged over 75 on Pension Credit, with reduced fees for care home residents and blind individuals.
The department added the price hike ‘comes alongside the ongoing Charter Review, which will ensure the BBC is sustainably funded to provide value for licence fee payers, commands the public’s trust with impartial editorial standards and drives growth, opportunity and good jobs across the country.’
News of the fee change comes as BBC bosses weigh up controversial plans that would extend the licence requirement to radio channels and the broadcaster’s news website.
Another idea being touted could involve the introduction of a model where wealthier households pay more, in turn subsidising the licence fee for lower income families.
The Daily Mail reported in November that one in eight households now say they do not need a TV licence, leading to losses estimated at up to £550million.
BBC bosses are lobbying for a new deal before 2027, when the royal charter that governs the broadcaster is due to renew.
An insider previously told The Times: ‘Our priority is ensuring the BBC is sustainable as a universal public service beyond just the next few years.
‘That shouldn’t mean the price for ordinary households goes up. We’re very sensitive to that pressure.
‘Ministers have set out an ambitious agenda of what the BBC should be and we are open to all ideas that, as the consultation says, ensures the organisation ‘not just survives, but thrives’ in this competitive media landscape.’
Last year, furious Brits spoke to the Daily Mail about why they are no longer paying their licence fees amid a series of scandals at the broadcaster.
Former Tory MP and ex-BBC staffer Matthew Offord revealed that he stopped paying his licence fee after standing down from his position.
He said: ‘I stopped paying the licence fee in April, having struggled to do so for many years.
‘I concluded that I would pay it while I was an MP, but when it expired, I could not bring myself to do so. I also withdrew all my pension contributions from the scheme at the BBC.
‘The atmosphere was toxic when I was employed, but the continuing behaviour of individuals, the groupthink and the rejection of anti-Semitism in their reporting was too much for me.’
Another former BBC staffer, Robin Whelan, 53, from Surrey, also said he stopped paying the fee when he left the corporation.
He said: ‘After many years of paying as a BBC staff member, I stopped. I took stock of what I actually used the BBC for. Its website, radio and a little catch-up.’
The future of the licence fee has come under scrutiny amid a sharp decline in the number of people watching traditional TV channels as viewers.
A report by the Commons Public Accounts Committee revealed that 2.9million BBC viewers evaded paying the £174.50-a-year fee, costing the broadcaster an estimated £550million in lost income.
Meanwhile £617million was lost from 3.6million households declaring they don’t need a licence.
In December, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy set out her vision for the funding of the BBC from 2028 as it enters its once-a-decade charter renewal. Ms Nandy defended the scandal-hit national broadcaster, heralding it as ‘an institution like no other’.
The charter sets out the BBC’s public purpose and is the constitutional basis for the corporation, which is predominately funded through the licence fee, as paid by UK households who watch TV.
The Culture Secretary has published a Green Paper, setting out potential reforms of the broadcaster, which ‘consults on a wide range of options being considered for the future of the BBC’, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport said.
Ms Nandy is looking at options for the corporation to raise funds, including allowing the BBC to run adverts across all of its services.
Another option would see the corporation restrict adverts to iPlayer, the BBC website, and videos posted on YouTube.
Older shows on iPlayer will become premium content behind a paywall after being free-to-air for a limited period.
