Here's the rub, James. When plumbers & accountants play the Game of Homes against dukes & earls, they might make a profit, but never on the same scale as the aristocracy. Meanwhile, tenants keep paying for everyone else's winnings. Time to change the game. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #lbc

Congrats to James O'Brien for his mountingly high listener figures. Question to #LBC bigwigs - How come that your potted promotions throughout the day and night are so conspicuously Nick Ferrari-heavy?? Hardly ever a plug for Janes OB, your quantifiably best! Right wing bias?

Now we have a con-artist calling to help flog their dodgy ghost tours. Does anyone take this seriously? @mrjamesob.bsky.social #LBC

There were plenty of welcome measures yesterday, and they're worth acknowledging. But measured against the scale of Britain's problems, this was a modest Budget. It offered some breathing space, but little of the structural change needed to deliver on Burnham's revolutionary rhetoric.

But there's a bigger question than "Am I £100 better off?" Will a child born today have a better chance of owning a home, getting a decent education, receiving support if disabled, and enjoying economic security than someone born 20 years ago? That's ultimately how we should judge a Budget.
