This is LBC, from Global, leading Britain's conversation with James O'Brien.

Three minutes after ten is the time. Right, if you are even close to the centre ground of British politics,

this is an hour in which you have to strap a target on your back and invite all comers

to lob the slings and arrows of outrageous political opinions in your direction because, well,

I mean, who had a good night last night in Brecken and Radnshire? Liberal Democrats get a seat

in Parliament, a very realistic chance given the likelihood of a snap election being called

before Christmas that the winning cabinet, Joe Dodds could, winning candidate even, Joe Dodds could be

one of the shortest serving MPs in history because if you add up the Tory vote and the Brexit

vanity project vote then you have a victory effectively even if you add the pitiful labour

showing to the Lib Dem result and the Lib Dem result was secured after Applied Kumru and the Greens

elected not to join in so they could leave the path clear for a remain candidate.

Holy mcmoli. What an absolute mess.

When I say they could leave the path clear for a remain candidate, I mean, of course, a sort of unification candidate who, I was going to say, recognises, but, you know, four minutes after 10. Good morning, by the way. I hope you're well. Ready for the weekend? Good. Don't forget to put cream on. As I glance towards a clock and see that it's four minutes after 10, I sort of find myself thinking, well, by 11 o'clock everything could have changed. But as things stand right now, you have an astonishing by-election result, which has delivered a tiny victory, and it is tiny. It wouldn't have been a victory if everyone who voted for the Brexit Vanity Project

had voted for the Conservatives. And even if the pitiful Labour vote had piled in on the

unified Remain vote, it wouldn't have necessarily been enough to get that candidate over the line

in the event of the other two joining forces as well. So it's an almighty

mess. It really is. What do you think's going on? If you ring in quickly, but thoughtful and

clever, as always, you know, or at least thoughtful, so not just kind of throwing stuff,

if you ring in now, I won't inflict an introduction on you
