Well, a very good morning. Welcome to another week. It's just gone six o'clock. It's Monday the 23rd to Marsh, and it is all change on the home of common sense, the home of the alarm clock Brit, because Christian, the ever-present, doion of just calmness, is at home with the poops. I'm not going to, I'm really not going to mess this up. There's a bug doing the rounds on Christian, who famously said yesterday to one of the, the people who work on the show, my wife's ill, my kid's ill, I never get ill, is absolutely raving ill. So she has stridden, strode, not the right way. Anyway, Alicia has come from the backwaters of notoriety. She's now producing the shows. She's very excited. Apparently very good with the voice note. Big M's just making sure he looks after. And Damien has returned. G-spot. We found him. He's back answering the phone. So, we'll do what we always do. We want your views on the news of the day.

dodgy deal that Labour have involved in.

But the big news was that we, the public, weren't, it seemed, informed for 30 hours. Questions are now flying around as to why

ministers, well, didn't tell us and what is the government hiding from us?

Loads going on in the Middle East, prices of oil and petrol soaring. US and Iran ramping up

the threats against each other. We'll talk to Sean Bell later,

military expert. It's all gone on the immigration front yet. The weather's better. The boats are

coming. Shaban and Mahmood wants to do a crackdown. The left say, don't be so outrageous. These

people have feelings. And all the while, the French are getting 500 million a year from us

and are getting worried because that deal is ending.

I'll tell you something, an interesting story we're going to talk about today.

A Tory peer, Lord Searle, will warn Sekeir Stama this week.

This is a report that Britain is failing white class working boys.

It's a landmark race report.

It calls for urgent action on education and opportunity.

And it does get to the sort of nub of something that a lot of people worry about nowadays is in a world
