0:00.0 | Across the UK, online, on DAB and on your smart speaker, the Independent Republic of Mike Graham right here on Talk Radio. |
0:29.1 | You have courthouse, ladies and gentlemen, right in the midst of a cabinet reshuffle. |
0:32.6 | We've said to you many times before, as soon as this show starts, news tends to break. |
0:36.8 | Boris Johnson got the job of |
0:38.4 | Prime Minister, I think, during this show. Theresa May resigned during this show. An election was |
0:43.3 | called during this show. The election was declared a winner, of course, during my overnight |
0:47.6 | election show. And so this is the place to be to find out where everything is going on. Esther |
0:51.7 | McVeigh has just been sacked as housing minister. Julian Smith has been sacked as the Northern Ireland minister, despite the fact that he brought |
0:57.8 | Northern Ireland back to work for the first time in three years in Stormont. I'm going to be |
1:01.8 | asking a big question this morning. Not so much about Boris Johnson's cabinet, not so much about |
1:05.8 | his leadership skills, but really about whether he's actually lost the plot altogether. Because first of all, we've got him on several counts. |
1:12.9 | The first count, he's decided it's a great idea to spend £100 billion of taxpayers' money on HS2, |

1:23.6 | Secondly, he's talking about taxing people some more, particularly those people who elected him and got him into power with an 80-seat majority. |
1:30.7 | He's also talking about, for some reason, doing away with petrol and diesel cars all the way up to just 12 years from now, |
1:37.7 | which means that if you're in the process of possibly buying a new car, you might be thinking, I have to get an electric one. |
1:43.1 | Now, for some reason, |
1:44.3 | he can't remember who supplied him with a 15,000 pound holiday villa in Mustique. I don't |
1:48.8 | really care that he goes to Mustig for a holiday. I don't really care that he takes his girlfriend |
1:52.7 | on the public purse to Mustique on a holiday. What I do care about is he doesn't seem to know who |
1:57.5 | paid for it, for heaven's sake. Surely if somebody gives you a free holiday home in Mustique, you know who it was. He said it was David Ross. He said it was a guy that |
2:04.9 | started Carphone Warehouse. David Ross says it wasn't actually him. So what is going on? What on |
