Isn't it refreshing that they have taken action over it?
Along with the changes they're making to enable titles to be removed, it sounds like there could be some proper clean ups happening.

But has had very little good to say about Starmer. Even in the run up to the GE it was all complaints about him being too careful. Now this latest barrage of attacks is all saying he's not good enough.
The only time he's positive is after PMQs because he regularly wipes the floor with Badenoch.
He has told people who support Starmer not to call in on 2 occasions in the last few shows.
I can only listen to a little bit live so mostly listen in catch up later.
Up until the last few days where I have switched off, I have listened daily for years. He has offered minimal praise.
He even specifically complained that they haven't done anything exciting so he can't talk about any of it.
Quietly improving things isn't good enough for him. He's just another one who is unable to wean himself off the drama.
Begrudgingly rather than frequently and usually because someone has messaged to tell him. It is always with a complaint that the government don't get the message out there saying it can't be all the media's fault.
Because he *is* the media and he refuses to accept any responsibility.
It's so one sided
Little to no mention of the good stuff the government has been doing, just a constant rant about why he thinks Starmer is terrible.
We don't need a showman for a PM. We need someone who gets things done.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social I usually really enjoy your show.
But these last week or so you have lost the plot and have joined the crazy parts of the media who are obsessed with bringing Labour down.
You are doing Reform's work for them (and by association, the work of Russia).
Shameful.
Yes, he's making stuff for his own features now.
But he is leading a government making a lot of positive change, delivering on their promises and has vastly improved our standing on the world stage
What do you actually want from a leader, a showman or someone who is gets things done for the good of the country?
And to be clear, criticism of Starmer and the government is fine.
Excluding people who don't share his sudden hatred for Starmer is pathetic.
What is he scared of?
The last show I was listening to on @lbc.co.uk was @mrjamesob.bsky.social .
No more.
Suggesting Starmer is anywhere near as bad as Johnson is ridiculous.
I don't know what's happened to him, but it's disgusting.
Nigel Farage tells GB News that Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador shows his judgement is "seriously wrong" and he should stand down as Prime Minister.
Here's what Farage said when Mandelson was appointed
Gave it a chance but JOB asking for callers who have changed their view on Starmer over the last couple of days.
That's those who now claim they don't support him. No different from the dodgy polls he talks about. The question you ask makes all the difference.
@LBC gets switched off early today.
This is Nigel Farage with Nick Candy, the treasurer of Reform UK π
Candy appears numerous times in the Epstein files over more than a decade, The National has uncovered.
The Scottish Greens are putting pressure on Reform to explain the links.
Oh FFS the next hour is worse.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social going off.
Starmer is probably the most decent man to hold the PM post since Gordon Brown. He's being hounded out in the same way.
That's my view, Mandelson has contacts in Washington, knows how it works and is a fixer, there's nothing to suggest he did anything other than a good job. And Starmer acted quickly as you say, unlike the Tories over the years who developed a reputation for never resigning or being booted out.
Just a thought, if Starmer is being called in to step down for something Mandelson did in 2009 when Starmer wasn't even an MP shouldn't Farage step down for what Nathan Gill did when he was a Brexit Party Ltd MEP and Farage was party leaderπ€
This.
If you are calling for Starmer to go over Mandelson, give your fucking head a wobble.
Reform are the real enemy.
The media is a real problem.
You are doing the work of Reform/the media/Russia for them if you are using this as another way to bash Starmer and Labour.
Fight the real enemy!
There was absolutely NOTHING in the Chancellors press conference to suggest income tax was going up.
That was the media.
Again.
Going into it believing it was going up a coming out of it repeating the claim.
I never thought it was going up before & didn't think it after.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social
I think I am now done with @LBC weekdays.
First to go was 1-4 thanks to horrific transphobia.
Now I don't think I can stomach 10-1 either as he seems determined to believe everything negative about the government reporting rumours as facts.
This is the clip the Chancellor put out after her press conference.
It is therefore obvious this was the key message she wanted people to take away.
Where in this message do we get the idea of income tax rises?
@mrjamesob.bsky.social
Listening to @mrjamesob.bsky.social talk about the pubs in Brentford wondering if he's ever read any Robert Rankin
Trying my best to listen to @mrjamesob.bsky.social on @lbc but global player is appalling lately and drops out every few minutes.
Ah cats are absolute arseholes aren't they! I bet she really loved having you as a pet and particularly enjoyed the way you played with the mice she brought you.
(And yes this is exactly the cleanser I'd like more of!)
The Conservative party accuses Keir Starmer of refusing to take child abuse seriously.
In other news, here's former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson complaining about Β£60 million being "spaffed up the wall" investigating historic child abuse cases
Anyone on here who isn't just chatting politics the entire time?
I do like a bit of that, but I also like a bit of light-hearted stuff as I don't want my head to explode.
π Safely through to round three!

Wycombe win nine games in a row in all competitions for the first time as an EFL club.
Oh, and he appears to be quite supportive of the racists trying to burn down people in hotels in the summer, while insulting neurodivergent people as a bonus.
"if accused of being far right / hate speech in court do we think saying 'i'm on the spectrum' would get you off?β
What a peach.
