LBC presenter Iain Dale blasted Jeremy Corbyn for his Labour conference speech, which repeatedly attacked the UK Government and the media.
LBC's Iain Dale roasts Corbyn for 'stinker' keynote speech
Mr Dale hit back at Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn after he attempted to ridicule the Tory party during his leader's speech at the Labour party conference in Brighton.
The LBC host slammed the speech, saying Mr Corbyn had lost the "prime ministerial" vibes he had given off at last year's meeting.
He said: "Last year, after Jeremy Corbyn’s speech at the Labour conference, I said he delivered a really good speech. I thought he looked prime ministerial. So permit me, if you will, to give my honest views of this year’s speech because it was rather different from last year's.
"In fact, I thought it was an absolute stinker, to be honest. It basically consisted of all of these different things: Tories bad, Tories useless, Labour good, government-in-waiting, hit the rich, media bad, big companies bad.
"I thought it was actually quite depressing, it was depressing in length it lasted about an hour and 20 minutes - the longest party leader speech I think I have ever heard."
Mr Corbyn said his party was "on the threshold of power" as he urged the Tories to "pull themselves together."
The left-wing politician claimed a “new consensus” had emerged in the past decade which has meant Labour is now the party of "mainstream" voters.

The Labour leader grinned from ear to ear as he blew kisses to the delirious crowd at the party’s conference.
And to noisy chanting, he added: “In June we saw the largest increase in the Labour vote since 1945.”
Mr Corbyn, said: “It is often said that elections can only be won from the centre ground. And in a way that’s not wrong - so long as it’s clear that the political centre of gravity isn’t fixed or unmovable, nor is it where the establishment pundits like to think it is."
The Labour party secured 262 seats to the Conservative party's 318 at the general election.
Mr Corbyn conceded the party "didn’t quite achieve enough and remain in opposition” before adding optimistically that Labour had "become a government in waiting.”
