Bringing a lawsuit means answering questions, too. That is Simon Marks's central point in LBC's most-watched new upload, as he tells James O'Brien that Trump's case against the BBC could unravel over his failure to sit for a deposition.

"Simon Marks makes a prediction about Trump's BBC lawsuit" drew roughly 218,000 views within its opening 14 hours. The discussion starts elsewhere, with Trump's attempt to connect unrest in France to immigration, before turning to the Panorama defamation case. Marks reports that the judge has warned of possible sanctions over delays. His prediction of dismissal is conditional, not a ruling: Trump has to participate in the legal process he initiated.

LBC posted 15 uploads across the week. Lewis Goodall's "'They could hold all the power': Midterm elections explained" provides a broader electoral frame, examining what control of Congress could mean. Alongside it, O'Brien responds to Trump's remarks about Russia's war in Ukraine, while Ben Kentish and callers discuss Pete Hegseth's comments about allied combat operations in Afghanistan. A veteran's response and questions about how Britain should answer give that phone-in a different texture from the studio analysis.

The Marks discussion, Goodall's midterm explainer and O'Brien's Ukraine reaction are also the channel's most active videos right now. Across the channel, the week brought about 19 million views, the largest weekly gain among the nearby broadcasters here, though daily viewing is currently well below LBC's usual pace. Subscribers were unchanged. TalkTV and Times Radio are also running below their typical daily viewing levels; for LBC, the newest Washington discussions are where the immediate momentum sits.
