Talk radio station, initially for London but now UK wide on digital radio.

They paint a very different picture. The Tories wheeling out Boris Johnson, looking like a cross between Les Patterson and Father Jack... Reminding us that BoJo was partying while people were dying of Covid... Folks aren't too worried about Keir Starmer, they think they're gonna get a blander Tony Blair Labour government... Oh and plenty of references to the "Client Media" (media in the bag for the Conservatives or Labour, but mainly Conservatives).

NY Times could now be "client media" in the bag for the Conservatives. Or Republicans.
