| 0:00.0 | This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation with James O'Brien. |
| 0:08.9 | Four minutes after ten is the time, what a glorious weekend. Hands up if you are back at the grindstone |
| 0:14.4 | while the rest of your family remains at the seaside. Oh, just me. Happy days. Speaking of happy days, we turn our attention this |
| 0:24.3 | morning to rather grim developments on the political landscape. Some slightly cynical attempts to ignore |
