'Doomed to fail' | LBC's best callers this week

00:00 | James O'Brien caller Suresh brands the Tories as 'desperate and quite hypocritical' over claims of Labour's win being a 'supermajority'.

04:54 | Caller Glen is a regular listener to Nick Ferrari's show, telling the presenter that he usually speaks 'a lot of sense' but on the issue of Keir Starmer taking Friday evenings off, Glen labels Ferrari's stance as 'nonsense'.

10:21 | 42-year-old first time voter Alex tells Nick Ferrari that he's 'embarrassed' that 'racist' Reform UK came second to Labour in many places.

LBC is the home of live debate around news and current affairs in the UK.

Stayed up just late enough to watch Rees-Mogg lose his seat and tip Labour over the number of seats required to form a government. Made my year! 🎉

"John" is my generation. And I agree with him. I am youngest of 6, council house, working class background. Worked (and still working) hard, 40 years in the same "company". 10 years without a pay rise. Wife retired recently from 38 years NHS specialist nurse. I am not rich, but I am happy to pay tax and spread the assistance to all who need it. Love to all who live and breathe.

No flights even went to Where did that 320 million go then?!

LBC, when are you going to get rid of Nick Ferrari? You could call him balance, but when he is trying to defend the open racism of the Reform party candidates, then he has stepped over the line.

[oliverheyes]

that last guy is how i imagine every reform voter thinks, or more accurately doesnt think

[patrikfloding]

The last caller just thinks that everything will be fine if all “immigrants” (people he doesn’t like) are thrown out of the nation. That’s his “back to basics”. So deluded.

[w-james]

Im so glad the tories are gone. Im not idealistic, I just want grownups running the country.

[stealthbum]

Ferrari did his best to boost the Tories didn’t he? Horrible man.

[terryloftus]

Ferrari cant hide his TORY/REFORM bias.

[marionmclean]

It's ridiculous to suggest that a PM has to work 24 hours a day. That's hardly a sensible or reasonable way to judge a work ethic. He's not going to swan about like Johnson, is he? 🙄

[robertm]

Ferrari is becoming more ridiculous daily, great caller 💪

[farahrizvi]

Wow what a selfless man for not taking his state pension when he can actually claim it. Bless him. 🤲🏻

[Adamb]

The public needs socialism in their lives, let's end failing neoliberalism that's delivered super massive wealth inequality in U.K.

Love to you all always

[TristanMeadows-sm]

With the benefit of hindsight, criticizing Starmer for saying he won't work after six on Friday:
The Rwanda bill was scrapped on a Friday after six :)

[AlexJohnson-whfc]

What a caller John is! This is what we need in this country!

[GEricG]

Supermajority is perhaps the most annoying phrase of the whole election campaign.

[Undeadwolfy_]

Quality response from Matthew Wright on that call.

[NeuroDeviant]

I think it's hilarious that a "conservative" would try to spin an adult spending time with his children as lazy... What was Johnson?

[mick]

We all know who Nick Ferrari voted for don't we?

[thewiseman]

The last caller is delusion personified
