Who would want to listen to Farage and his music choices? Creepy as.

Plenty of people I should imagine.

Exactly.

I could be wrong but I'd hazard a guess few DIDs listeners are Reform supporters. Many Reform supporters absolutely despise the BBC and "mainstream media".

Only because Farage is on the BBC every five minutes telling them to.

They could always start a variation of DID on GB News.

But you don't dictate that you must have a slot on DID.

You wait to be asked surely?

Very Trumpian to insist you must be included and then threaten them if they don't accede immediately.

But lovely distraction from the £5 million Farage.
Lets see what the security services say about the 'hacking'.

I watched the LK interview and felt very sad for NS. She’s clearly devastated.
I’m sure I’ll be called gullible 🤨.

Interesting choice of music from Powell - not!

The opposite of eclectic tastes.

And me. She’s so clearly distressed and feels betrayed.

LK makes me angry every week. She constantly talked over McFadden and barely challenged Philp. It’s high time the spot is given to someone who makes at least a pretence of being neutral.

TemperanceWest · 01/06/2026 13:59

I have just watched the interview. I also feel sorry for her. It must be horrible to have people laughing at her situation and raking over it all in such detail.

I take it collective memories of how she steamrollered over a lot of reasonable people are very short.

Also, if you want to prance around pretending you are a serious political player, you really don't get to say "I never saw £400,000 pass through my house". That's Farage levels of intelligence insulting.
