Good morning and welcome to the Independent Republican Mike Graham right here on Talk Radio.

We call ourselves the home of common sense and for good reason, I have to say, there has never been a better time for that quality to come to the fore.

This morning we are greeted with an entire smorgasbord of stories

for more U-turns on vaccinations for children.

Scotland's intention of making people dance in nightclubs with masks on.

Boris Johnson's promised to take a staycation, very wise,

and Sir Keir Star was bleating on about climate change in The Guardian.

Wouldn't you know it?

Up first today, we'll be talking to

John Redwood MP for Wokingham and member of the COVID Recovery Group in Parliament. I'll be asking

him about the efficacy of vaccinating children, introducing COVID passports, and just when we can

expect all businesses to return to normal. That's right, freedom with a capital F. That's what I'm

looking for. Surely the data is now in place for the government to lead the world on how best to extricate ourselves from this ghastly yoke of safety first and everything else later.

034449-1,000. Jamie Jenkins, our favourite statistician, is also here with his tape on these stories about children suffering the effects of long COVID.

He's got some data that suggests that some of those are getting rather highly exaggerated.

Also, Laura Dodsworth is here.

She's talking insect eating.

She's talking nudge politics and the failing popularity of the Prime Minister.

Does he realise it?

Does it matter?

And will it have any effect on his ability to lead the country?

As ever, of course, we need to hear from you. What are you hearing? What are you doing? And what are you being told?
