Good morning. It's three minutes after ten, and you are listening to James O'Brien on LBC.

What is it? You can't see the wood for the trees? What's the figure of speech we're looking for this morning?

The slowly boiled frog, not biologically accurate, by the way, but nonetheless, a very powerful analogy.

Can't see the wood for the trees. Rolling stone gathers no more.

No, it's definitely not that one.

Why aren't we talking about the fact that food is currently increasing in price

at a rate not seen for 45 years?

I'm going to say that again,

there is no more important story in town.

However hard,

some corners of the

right wing media may be trying to persuade you otherwise let's have a look at what they're going

On you go.

The NHS is broken, declared Starmer.

You're paying price of rise in fat cat salaries.

Not talking, of course, about the kind of fat cats who run Fox News,

but talking instead about people who work for councils.
