Talk Radio 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 is, of course, the home of common sense, the place to find the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. You don't

have to look too far to find it here either. You don't have to dull through all sorts of ridiculous

clouds of nonsense. You don't have to worry about the bias of the BBC. You don't have to worry in any way

about what Sky News is going to tell you, because instead, what you need to do is listen to Talk Radio, where more and more people are realizing that actually the unvarnished truth is what they want to hear, because in the end, you can make up your own mind about what the government is doing, why they're doing it, and what on earth the end game is, because we will give you the information, we will tell you what we think, and then you can tell us what you think as well. 0344-49-1,000.

are. And if you want to book a holiday to get the hell out of here for a while, good luck with that, because nobody knows what you're supposed to be doing.

Which tests you need to get? Which test you need to get when you come back? Which test you need to

get before you go? What you need to do while you're in the air? I mean, it's just ridiculous,

right? The relentless and overbearing nature of Boris and his henchmen mean that we will still not know what's going on, what's going to be banned, what's going to be allowed, we're just not going to know until the end of the school term.

So if you're trying to take your kids anywhere, as I am, you have no clue what to do.

Up first this morning, you got William Closed, big stories of the week, including the Parliamentary Report on the Illegal Migrant Prol.

Plus, he's got some new policies to unveil for us as well.

Coming up, Tonya Buxton is also here.

She's going to be mad as hell with a new mask mandate, which doesn't appear to be making a whole lot of difference to most people in shops or on public transport and will be seeking the guidance of Dr. Wekar-Rashid on the subject of
