Lewis Goodall of The News Agents podcast is covering for James O’Brien, live on LBC from 10am, and of course, right here on James O’Brien Daily.

Labour MP Kim Leadbeater would change her proposed assisted dying bill so that cases are signed off by experts rather than a judge. Critics believe this could threaten impartial decision-making. Lewis asks whether this change would strengthen or weaken the bill and speaks with Labour MP Dr Peter Prinsley, who's in favour of the legislation.

Also, Elon Musk is leading a bid of $97.4bn for the purchase of OpenAI, the operator of Chat GPT. Considering the billionaire’s recent takeover of state institutions as well, Lewis asks if we’re witnessing state capture and what his ultimate aim is.

And, Lewis speaks with LBC reporter Fraser Knight for all the details on today’s High Court ruling that The Metropolitan Police cannot dismiss officers by removing their vetting clearance, thus limiting the force’s ability to sack officers who might be a danger to women and vulnerable people.

This episode was recorded on the 11th February. Catch Lewis Goodall, in for James O'Brien, tomorrow from 10am on LBC.
