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.

It's the end of the first phase, ladies and gentlemen.

It's the beginning of the next chapter and we're all walking through it together, right?

On Monday, we're appearing live from a pub to celebrate the opening of indoor hospitality.

And judging by the weather forecast, we're going to need plenty of shelter.

This week

we've already opened Parliament, we've questioned the NHS policy on virtual GP consultations,

and we've revealed why mask wearing is to be no longer a thing. Today, we've got Pauline Lathamn

MP on to talk about why the government might finally be learning how to deal with the COVID-variant

problem as the Indian one has now popped up in

Blackburn and Bolton. We'll also be asking her about the problem with seeing the doctor

and why Labour is having such trouble trying to define what the party stands for, particularly

in parts of the country which should be staunchly labour. And now on, 0344-491,000.

Coming up later on, we're joined by Royal Author Angela Levin, as the Herbert, formerly known as Prince,

once more, has thrown his family under a bus in the name of the almighty dollar and is

increasingly to spill his guts to all and sundry about how awful his life has been.

This time, it's in a podcast with former drug abuser and actor Dax Shepard, who specialises in laying

bare, mindless celebrities who are all suffering and in pain, despite their millionaire

lifestyles and pampered jobs.

What an absolutely disgusting specimen he has become.
