Has the General Election pushed Sunday Politics back to being live? Couldn't be sure but in the East they had a newspaper on the table - possibly Observer. Would seem strange to do that if it wasn't a live edition.

Were any others seemingly live this week?

Even if Farrage opts not to stand in a seat will his LBC show really still be able to be broadcast as he is a party leader.




Think that is it from him on LBC till after the election.


He is a 'party' leader, and therefore under the same laws as Johnson, Corbyn and Swinson. Farage/LBC has to ceed the slot during the election campaign, otherwise they (LBC) would have to give the same length of airtime to the other leaders.

Bad news for the lemmings that follow Farage and his views, but great news for Eddie Mair, who gets another 5 hours of airtime for the next six weeks.


Farage now stating he isn't standing at all. Do the rules still count? When was the last time a party leader didn't stand?

Suppose that depends on whether he considers doing an extra hour of work good or bad Laughing Did Eddie get an extra hour during the Euro elections? I thought they just replaced Farage?

I was wondering why he pulled out his Trump card this week and not nearer the election, I forgot that he wouldn't be on air then.

Apparently it was booked weeks ago when Thursday looked likely to be Brexit day.

All didn’t stand at the last General Election.

Granted though they are all parties based in just one country, and want their leader to sit in their national assemblies, unlike Farage who’s party is contesting England, Wales and Scotland.

I would assume that Richard Tice or someone else high in the party would lead the party in Westminster should they get any seats, much like Ian Blackford for the SNP.

No. Drivetime was extended. Eddie filled the 6-7pm slot during the European Election Purda period.
Some evenings it was an extension of the previous two hours of whatever was discussed. Some evenings he ran a special 'hour' long subject in that slot to fill the time.

He announced during the week, Monday to Thursdays from tomorrow it will be the latter again. I'm not sure what's happening on Fridays

Think it's still Andrew Pierce on his usual 6pm-10pm slot.

Sky's branding - 'The Brexit Election' - is quite pleasant.

They're using the condensed version of the Sky font, seen in the new Sky Crime presentation.
