Hey, very good morning to you. Welcome to Talk Breakfast. It's, of course, Thursday the 26th of February like you give a damn. It is the home of common sense. It's the home of the alarm clock Brit. Yes, you, maybe you're crawling back after a night shift, you're knackered, you're wondering what's wrong with the world. Maybe you're up and at it already in the van, in the car, on the way to work. you are very welcome to the show.

I'm going to do this throughout the morning

because it's... wondering what's wrong with the world. Maybe you're up and at it already in the van, in the car, on the way to work. You are very welcome to the show. I'm going to do this throughout the morning because I don't know when he's listening. I got into a cab, a London cab yesterday, and I met the most amazing young man. I say young. He's younger than me. Everybody is. Gareth, good morning, me old stories. It's for Rahini and Dublin. He's a massive talk fan. A mass... Did you like that impression now? Gareth Rahini Blackcabbs and he did the first thing he said to me was, I am sick to death of what Khan is doing for my profession in this city. Good man. Lovely to have you on board. As ever as we read through what's going on on get those calls and text in nice and early text

to 87 treble 2 you can of course send your voice note to a rather i would say stubbly christian this

one he hasn't show you for a while 3-4-4-9-1-000 who will be first with a voice note what's

happening well it's another you turn on the cards i was working yesterday afternoon and got all these sort of, you know, what's happening? What's happening with the Chagos Islands? A minister Hamish, I've no, no second. I stood up in the commons and said, we're pausing it while we speak to Donald Trump, who's not very happy. Then number 10 said, no, we're not. And they went, oh yes, sorry, bugger it. We are.

Complete confusion. Stama, yet again, the incompetent git, the Chegos Islands. You know that bit of land that we own? We're given away, plus 35 billion pounds, despite the fact we're skint. Let's forget what the Georgian people want. Let's give it to Mauritius. That'd be a nice idea, because they're friends with China and we'll all be skinned.

They won't be, but we will be.

U-turn number what the Chagosian people want. Let's give it to Maricious. That'd be a nice idea because their friends with China and we'll all be skinned. They won't be, but we will be.

You turn number 16 on the cards by a man who really is on his knees. Yesterday is well

done if you heard this. The Met Police apologised. Apparently the person who tipped off

the police about Mandelson's alleged skip to the British Virgin Islands was Sir Lindsay Hoyle.

He's now up to his neck in it, the Speaker.

He made an announcement and said, yes, it was me.

Why? Did he genuinely? No idea.

Lord Mandelson isn't even in Parliament.

He is, of course, in the Lords, but I'm not sure if that's the responsibility of the Speaker.

We'd love your thoughts on that.

The Met Police getting something wrong.

What a shock.
