James O’Brien has demeaned himself again on his LBC phone-in with Sadiq Khan. He begged the London mayor to give him the story when he decides whether to run for a fourth term or not:
“Can I have that scoop – because I’ve had you in the studio for 10 years and I’ve never had one big story from you. Can I have the story about whether or not you’re going to run for Mayor of London? I want you to promise now – this is entirely unprofessional, self interested, and a little bit needy, but I want that story… I want that. Stick that on a post-it note or something like that.”
Khan offered no such promise. Sad…
Speaking to Adam Boulton on Times Radio about kicking the Golders Green suspect, Heidi Alexander said:
“I thought that if I was in the shoes of that police officer, then if I’m honest, given the situation, and the fact that he had a backpack on his back, and they were worried about whether that might go off, I could, if I was a police officer, frankly, I could see myself having taken similar action.”
