It is three minutes after 10 and you are listening to James O'Brien on LBC.

0:04.9

Did you hear that Vauxhall story?

0:07.1

I said to you yesterday.

0:08.5

I didn't know the Vauxhall story was going to drop, by the way.

0:11.4

I said to you yesterday, what these clowns don't understand is that if we don't follow EU regulations,

0:16.8

we will not be able to sell our goods into the EU, which is our biggest marketplace.

0:22.2

And lo and behold, up Pop Vauxhall today, or Stellantis, I didn't know, it's so hard to keep track,

0:27.6

saying that precisely the same thing.

0:30.1

Under the terms of the deal negotiated by David Frost, who got a peerage for his reward, under the terms of that deal. It's going to be a 10%

0:40.0

tariff on selling cars into what has been for decades, our largest international market.

0:44.1

Well done, everybody. I can't do another hour on the B word today, but goodness me, that hour

0:50.3

He categorically told you that food would be cheaper. But here we are. Foxall threatening to move out of the UK altogether. Food inflation going through the roof and the chairman of the NFU warning that things can only get worse.

1:28.7

1:36.2

1:42.9

I don't know if that's implied with your set up for the topic. You're right. I should have said, why aren't you working? And then another one, the fake set up again. Gove will be the bad guy in an hour as you fake get your opinion changed by callers. It's an early contender for Idiot's Corner. Can you imagine being so boneheaded that you think it's actually impossible

2:01.0

for other people to change their mind? So bigoted and stuck in your one-track lie for you that you

2:07.7

think anyone who is capable of keeping an open mind and changing their views on subjects must be
