News about Iain Dale

Most men probably never knew they were susceptible to osteoporosis. Why would they, when the bone-thinning condition is so strongly associated with frail, elderly women? However, this is a rather inaccurate representation. In fact, 800,000 are men out of the country's 3.5 million people with the disease. And that, experts warn, is almost certainly inaccurate, considering that the true picture is much smaller. Many more people are going undiagned or are unknowingly at risk of the condition, which can lead to life-limiting fractures and premature death. According to Craig Jones, chief executive of the Royal Osteoporosis Society, men are missing out on therapies and protecting themselves.

On Friday, Good Morning Britain got off to a rocky start as Charlotte Hawkins was forced to deal with an on-air blunder. The new headlines were not exactly planned as the sound cut out as the host and her co-host Robert Rinder were joined by Iain Dale and Jacqui Smith to talk about the new headlines. As Iain began recording, the recording was cut off before returning later.

On LBC this morning, an extraordinary comment was made by a caller, as a tumultuous discussion of whether the dangerous'mutant' crossbreed should be barred in the United Kingdom continues to rage. It comes after a string of deadly maulings and violent attacks, which have led to Home Secretary Suella Braverman's request for 'urgent' advice on outlawing the 'lethal' breed of hounds. Speaking on LBC, presenter Iain Dale (left) asked the Hull-based breeder called 'David': 'When you decided to breed this type of dog, who were you aiming them at?Who did you want to sell them to and who did you sell them to?' The man replied, 'Drug dealers.' 'I'll be completely honest with you, Iain.'

As she appeared at her Edinburgh Festival event surrounded by security guards, SNP MP Joanna Cherry protested against cancel culture. Attendances were coerced into airport-style security. During a 'In Conversation with...' appearance, she was flanked by hand scanners and metal detectors, whilst guards flanked her. After announcing that The Stand comedy club had tried 'cancelling her,' the SNP MP was blown by the lack of protesters at the tense debate. The Fringe festival only went on after Ms Cherry threatened to sue the club, whose workers were reportedly refusing to attend the event due to her gender-critical views.

After a nasty crash on the London Underground last week, a Good Morning Britain regular was rushed to hospital. After the traumatic incident at Charing Cross station, Iain Dale was taken by an ambulance to St Thomas' hospital. As he thanked the doctors and nurses who supported him, the LBC host, 60, announced that he had a badly broken hip and would need an operation.

Roger Mosey, the BBC's former television news chief, said that the corporation is struggling to create original content and instead thrusting bland reality television shows onto viewers. I would make smaller cuts to news and larger cuts to all the antiques, quiz [and] cookery programs,' he said. 'There isn't a market argument now for the BBC to produce as many daytime type programmes as it does.'

Fergie, the mother-of-two, missed out on the Balmoral walkabout with her children earlier this week but also didn't attend the funeral procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall on Wednesday. However, the Duchess is reported to have been invited to the funeral on Monday. Ms Ferguson was married to the Queen's "favourite son" for ten years before they separated in 1992 and divorced in 1996. She continued to live with the Duke in Windsor's home and has often expressed her distaste for her former mother-in-law, the monarch, whom she referred to as her 'greatest mentor.' On Thursday, she was last seen glued to her phone at Venice airport, just days before the royal's death was announced.

On Monday, Labour leader Ed Miliband announced that he would lay out his party's strategy for combating the energy crisis. When pressed to come up with a nickname for the Prime Minister, Johnson branded Mr Johnson a 'bulls****er' at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He said it is "nonsense" to say that his party has not been leading on the cost-of-living crisis, according to Iain Dale and Jacqui Smith. Mr Dale said Labour's position had been criticized, but that "all politicians must take holidays." He also talked about his own'modest' upbringing and how it affected his perception of the pressures people are facing today.

At the Edinburgh Fringe, she made the bizarre remark when she spoke about her political career. Mr Johnson served as the foreign minister in Theresa May's reign from 2016 to 2018, when he resigned in order to run for party leader. Baroness Davidson said to LBC's Iain Dale at a recent Edinburgh Fringe event that he once compared being foreign secretary to me as being trapped in a steel condom.' I found it odd because I hadn't asked him. He seemed to be paying attention to the fact that he received from civil servants to make sure he didn't say anything. He said he was imprisoned in a steel condom.'
