Summary

Baroness Kate Hoey kicks off todays show to discuss the latest regarding the Northern Ireland protocol negotiations, and as news breaks that Shamima Begum, the 23-year-old who left east London aged 15 to join the Islamic State in Syria, has lost her appeal against the decision to remove her British citizenship we ask Ms Hoey her thoughts on the decision. As some supermarkets decide to ration fruit and veg as shelves empty due to poor weather in Europe and Africa we talk to TalkTV reporter Ollie Whitfield-Miocic outside a local supermarket to see just how bad things are. Historian, Broadcaster and Senior Fellow at the New Culture Forum Rafe Heydel-Mankoo returns to the Independent Republic to discuss further the court decision to deny Shamima Begum citizenship in this country in addition to the asylum-seeker backlog passing the 150,000 mark as upkeep bill hits £2.1bn a year. Former Met Police Detective Chief Inspector joins Mike in the studio to provide his thoughts on the Begum decision as well as Former Head of National Counter Terrorism Security Office Chris Phillip. Former British Army colonel and chemical weapons expert Hamish De Bretton-Gordon closes the show to discuss Putin's speech yesterday as he signals the return of Cold War nuclear tests. All that and so much more, so tune in!
