Former LBC host Sangita Myska has thanked listeners for “keeping her afloat in stormy seas” as she broke her silence for the first time since coming off air in May following a fiery clash over Israel. The presenter left the station in opaque circumstances two weeks after rowing with an Israeli government spokesperson over its military action in Gaza, prompting a flurry of questions from listeners. Nearly 40,000 people subsequently signed a petition calling for the presenter to be reinstated amid speculation that she had been suspended over the interview.
On Tuesday, Myska penned her first post since the departure, thanking listeners for their support. “To all my astonishing listeners and supporters, you have kept me afloat in deep and stormy seas,” she wrote in a post on X/Twitter. “Sorry I’m unable to answer all of your questions.
I am truly grateful for your care, friendship and encouragement. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Sangita x”.
Myska went on to take a swipe at former cabinet minister, Suella Braverman, by insisting that not all “brown women” were the same. Braverman is known for her divisive statements on immigration and for mocking what she has called the “tofu-eating wokerati”. “Brown women with public profiles are a diverse group,” began Myska.
“We do not all revile the homeless, asylum seekers, Joan Salter, tofu, lawful protestors, centrists, the EU, international courts. Nor do we ‘dream’ of deportation flights to Rwanda.
