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.

Professional eater of puppy dogs, baby heads and killer of grannies...

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.

yes but they'll probably have 5 years at it. long enough to put the working class on the streets so the rich stock brokers can drive by and laugh. fnar,

    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
    • There are a lot that share your sentiments. People have made comparisons to the different takes to Ukraine. 
    • It's a big 'No' from me (Israel-Palestine). No further comments.
