Sorry, MISTER LONG LEGGED CLEGGY WEGGY!

This is my favourite post in this entire thread.

With Cameron as leader, the Tories got 2 million more votes than Labour and more seats. If he becomes PM I don't see how you can say he'd be unelected.

Because he isn't! If he was elected he'd have a majority. He doesn't therefore technically isn't elected.

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

apparently Brown is going to announce he is to quit

That's going to be the only way Labour can possibly move forward I think, still wouldn't want to be Nick Clegg... (sorry, MR LONG LEGGED CLEGGY WEGGY), right now, but it would make working with the Labour party slightly more likely... really still more likely to go the Tory way, and still damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

i would hate to be nick clegg in all this !!

well Labour will offer more to him & the Tories know this, so they know they will have to sweeten their deal a bit more, it's not Nick's fault either he knows the next government has to be stable for a number of years at least because if another election is called within 18 odd months or so the Lib-Dem vote will be decimated & could well never recover.

i'm ok with Nick taking his time, as he absolutely has to get it right, he has no second chance & its make or break for the Lib-Dems, however they MUST get some sort of PR in place before the next election, although the PR ball has gained a lot of momentum & there is enough support to sustain it for a while, it may run-out of steam but it will never truly go away.

i still think that Nick & the Lib-Dems will come out better in the long-term if they side with the Tories & the coalition is a success, than if they join Labour.

kind of a shame about brown, i personally didn't think he was as bad as the tory media made him out to be. but if he has to go to convince the lib dems and keep the conservatives out, then i'm for it.

on the grid.

Sky News and Boulton are so right wing that it's not really surprising. Alistair Campbell is a master of mind games and patronising people and Boulton fell for it. Shame he didn't punch him though...

Yeh Sky News are right wing yack yack. But why doesn't Ofcom or some news regulator if there is any do something?

Because we have a free press, the BBC has to be neutral but commercial TV/Radio stations can be as biased as they like, except they have to give all the major parties equal coverage in an election period.

I think before 9pm we'll have an announcement about whether the Tories will go with Lib Dems or go it alone. Either way we will wake up to David Cameron as PM tomorrow.

I think it's the best way for Labour to go - leave the Lib Dems alone and focus on restoring faith in their party. And in the meantime, the Tories can stuff up.

According to 5live it'll be announced pretty soon and Tory/Lib coalition is a done deal. Could be announced during Scott's show.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By TMD_24 · Posted

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
