James O'Brien reacts to some of the latest developments in Gamblegate - deeming the wagers as 'emotional hedges' and 'small fry'.

James states that if we want to 'restore respect' for politicians, we can't presume that they are 'all corrupt'.

The Gamblegate scandal includes police officers and politicians from multiple parties - and largely centres around predictions on the date of the upcoming election.

One member of Rishi Sunak's close protection team was arrested over an alleged bet made on the date of the election, and has since been bailed.

Six more police officers are now being investigated by the Gambling Commission.

Meanwhile, as many as fifteen Conservatives could be under investigation by the Gambling Commission over alleged bets made on the date of the election, reports suggest.

One Labour candidate, Kevin Craig, bet on himself to lose in the upcoming election. He was immediately suspended by the Labour Party.

Rishi Sunak has urged voters not to let Labour "waltz into office", as he warned that Labour would "change the rules" to make it harder to vote them out.

Mr Sunak's Conservatives are well behind Labour in the polls ahead of the General Election on July 4. Some polls have forecast fewer than 100 seats, giving Sir Keir Starmer's party a majority of over 200.

Ministers have warned of Labour getting a 'supermajority' that they claim would essentially hand Sir Keir's party unchecked power.

In recent general elections, most of the major newspapers have backed the Conservative Party to win, as we head towards the final few days before polling day, LBC presenters Matthew Wright, Lewis Goodall and political correspondent Aggie Chambre look at why, although a Labour majority is expected, most of the same newspapers are still backing the Tory party.

00:00 | Matthew Wright speaks to former Editor of The Sun, Kelvin MacKenzie, on his ex-paper's backing of Tony Blair, with the headline: 'It's the Sun that won it'.

08:11 | Lewis Goodall hears from Labour's Pat McFadden, who calls on the major newspaper to endorse his party in a bid to sway voters in the final few days.

15:50 | LBC's political correspondent Aggie Chambre explains to Lewis Goodall the significance of newspaper backing for parties, and how much value it has in terms of votes.

Rishi Sunak accepted Tory donor Frank Hester's apology after he said Diane Abbott made him 'want to hate all black women.' His reaction is quite different when it comes to a Reform UK campaigner, who referred to the PM as a 'f***** p***'.

James O'Brien reacts to research that suggests 'lurching to the far-right makes you less happy' and considers what it is about Nigel Farage that still draws people to support him.

According to some polls, support for Reform UK has 'surged' in the UK since Farage became leader of the party and one study projects them to win 18 seats in the General Election.

But James questions the allure of Farage and Reform UK - asking why the party continues to stand behind outspoken candidates.

Political commentator Charlie Downes tells Matt Frei that, whether you agree with his Russia comments or not, Nigel Farage is doing what other 'mainstream politicians' are afraid to do - 'speaking his mind'.

Downes, who is in favour of creating a Reform UK party youth group, says that nobody can deny Farage is 'dissenting against the orthodoxy.'

He tells Matt, "A conversation isn't allowed to be had. It just turns into: 'Oh, he's a Putin apologist.'"

His comments come after the Reform UK Leader said the West had provoked Russia into invading Ukraine.

Farage said the "ever-eastward expansion" of NATO and the European Union had given the Kremlin "an excuse" to move troops across the border.

Physician Associates and Anaesthesia Associates have been found to have acted illegally in 1 in 8 NHS trusts, LBC has uncovered.

The British Medical Association has launched legal action against the General Medical Council (GMC) over the regulation of these roles, neither of which require either a medical degree or postgraduate medical training.

James O’Brien hears voices from both sides of the debate, with junior doctor Eilidh (03:09) making the case against physician associates, and caller Andy (10:13) accusing sceptics of ‘project fear.’

Under the terms of their employment, PAs and AAs are not permitted to perform acts which are the preserve of clinicians. On paper, their main duty is to lessen the burden on doctors by helping to manage patients and reduce the demands on their time. 

However, LBC has found that PAs and AAs have acted beyond their purview in 1 in 8 NHS trusts, attempting to prescribe medication and commission ionising radiation scans - tasks they have no legal right to carry out. 

The data was obtained via Freedom of Information Requests to over 50 NHS trusts. 

The findings have been described as “staggeringly high” by the co-founder of Anaesthetists United, Dr Richard Marks, whose organization has launched complimentary legal action against the GMC over the regulation of AAs.

But speaking to LBC, Dr Marks warned that the figures could be “the tip of the iceberg”: 

“It’s a staggeringly high figure for one in eight trusts to admit that people in their organisation are acting illegally - and I stress that it is illegal. There are specific laws on prescribing and ordering X-Rays and ionising radiation. 

“I think this is the tip of the iceberg, though, because there are so many ways people get around the regulations. In anesthetics, people are using Patient-Specific Directives, which is a particular way that doctors can prescribe something to be given by someone else, [with] very strict constraints over the dose, repeated dose and timing. 
..

Ali Miraj disagrees with Nigel Farage's claim that the West 'provoked' Russia to invade Ukraine, but feels NATO and the EU's 'overextension didn't help'.
