It was sit-in presenters week at LBC, with various MPs (or ex-MPs) covering James O’Brien’s mid-morning show. The station does this every so often (Carol Vorderman, who now has her own LBC show, was a guest DJ in 2023), but there was much more hoo-ha about Tuesday’s substitute presenter than usual. A couple of political writers even wrote entire columns about it. And who was that sit-in? Suella Braverman. All I can say is, well, where were you all two years ago? Then, the guest hosts in that same slot were Matt Hancock, Angela Rayner, Wes Streeting, Tom Tugendhat and Chris Bryant. (Rayner and Bryant were really good; Hancock, not so much.)
