LBC Presenter Roasts Reform Politician Over 'Quack' Doctor Who Said Covid Vaccine Gave King Cancer

Leila Cunningham and Lewis Goodall.LBC presenter Lewis Goodall roasted a Reform politician after an anti-vaccine doctor spoke at the party’s conference.Dr Aseem Malhotra claimed the Covid vaccine had given the Royal Family cancer.Speaking on the main stage of the two-day gathering in Birmingham, Dr Malhotra told party members that he wanted to pass on the views of a doctor he described as am eminent oncologist.“He thinks it’s highly likely that the Covid vaccines have been a factor, a significant factor, in the cancer of members of the Royal Family,” he said.“This isn’t just his opinion, many other doctors feel the same way.”On LBC this afternoon, Reform councillor Laila Cunningham defended Dr Malhotra.She said: “He’s not stopping anyone from getting the Covid vaccine because no one’s taking it any more. He didn’t say all vaccines, he was very specific with Covid vaccines. If you don’t agree with him, you don’t agree with him.”But Goodall told her: “People still take the Covid vaccine. If you went into government, you’d be responsible for administering it. And then you’re putting on some quack at your conference who is spouting conspiracy theories about it.”Cunningham replied: “I don’t know of any people who are still taking the Covid vaccine. My mum who’s 91 perhaps, but even she doesn’t take it.”When Goodall told her many people still do, she asked him if he knew what percentage of the country does.The presenter told her: “The NHS is still administering the Covid vaccine. It’s still something that is available. And you know as well that people don’t hear stuff like that ‘the Covid vaccine is a problem and the rest are ok’. They just hear ‘vaccines cause cancer’.“That is what your party is putting at your conference, and you are supposed to be a serious party of government.”"You are supposed to be a serious party of government!"Reform’s Laila Cunningham tells @Lewis_Goodall that platforming misinformation about the Covid vaccine is okay because ‘no-one is taking it anymore.’ pic.twitter.com/vE3B5GeWOI— LBC (@LBC) September 7, 2025Related...4 Completely Bonkers Things That Happened At The Reform UK ConferenceBrian Cox Launches Outspoken On-Air Attack On 'Venal And Selfish' Nigel Farage'How Dare You': Farage Clashes With Beth Rigby After Admitting He Didn't Buy Clacton Home After All
