Across the UK, online, on DAB and on your smart speaker, the Independent Republic of Mike Graham, on Talk Radio.

Good morning and welcome to the Independent Republic of Mike Graham, right here on Talk Radio,

live streaming as we all are now, just like Julie Hartley Brewer has been explaining.

You can watch us as well as listen to us.

And it is a beautiful day in the neighbourhood.

We're raring to go here at the Independent Republic.

Not for us the doom and gloom you get everywhere else.

Not for us the endless diet of disaster and despair.

Not for us the daily update of disaster and despair, not for us,

the daily update on how bad everything is. Instead, today marks the return of Prime Minister's question so we can look forward to a live punch-up between Prime Minister Boris Johnson

and Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer. Believe it or not, I've actually quite missed it.

They're still not allowing a full chamber in the House of Commons, but we will bring it to you all as it happens in the company of Talk Radio's political correspondent Charlotte Ivers.

First up, though, we're talking to Matt Vickers, newly elected Tory MP for Stockton South, who was outraged by yesterday's pathetic street party come protest, organised by the Eco Planck's Extinction Rebellion.

I must say, I have to agree with him.

Just a week after having to admit

their ludicrous claims about the end of the human race rule lies, the Greenies were joined by

Sir Mark Rylans, the actor, whose real name is actually Mark Waters, and police arrested 90 of

them. We wait to hear whether any of them will be handed 10,000 pound fines like Pierce Corbyn was.

But also, these idiots are planning 10 days of this

nonsense to bring our cities to a standstill because they need to tell us all about the climate

emergency who the hell do they think they are oh 344 499 1,000 and presumably they're

doing it this week because they'll have to go back to school next week we're also talking to
