Hey, very good morning to you, my friends. Welcome along. What is it? Thursday, the 8th of January. You're with, of course, talk. It's the home of alarm clock Brits and the Home of Common Sense Talk. We're on until 10 o'clock, the Jeremy Car Breakfast Show. And as ever, if you want to be part of the debate, we'll tell you how straight away this morning. There's so much in the news uh you can ring us uh by

the way christian is an important family thing today we wish him luck we've this is like the old days

the reuniting of me and ryan from drive time lanky is producing the show ladies gentlemen six

foot eight a watford fan and he's got a spring in his step and his hats at a

gongy angle. He's also not particularly good at computers, so send him as of any voice notes as you possibly can and watch him mess them up. 03-4-4-9-1,000 to get hold of us via voice note or call, and as ever, if you want to text the show with your thoughts throughout the morning, 87-3-2. We we'll talk there's so much going on um can i just say that storm is a reality

storm guretti uh which sounds like some sort of coffee it is on the way they're talking 80 mile

on our winds they're talking 12 inches of snow if only uh but we will update you cleanse here

who i'm going to make my resident meteorologist. We used to

work on ITV. She will hopefully be with us later on. But if you are out and about and traveling today,

genuinely, let us know where you are. Let us understand how it is wherever you are across the

United Kingdom. So much in the papers. Rapists and violent thugs were hired by the Met in a rush to recruit officers over every single newspaper.

Front of the Telegraph today.

Met Police hired Black Child Rapist to boost diversity credentials.

And, of course, on the back of Wayne Cous and Carrick, horrendous. We'll speak to Peter

Blexley about the Met Madness later. I want to start today by trying to be nice to Keir Starma.

Oh no, I don't. Labor's planned fuel duty rise. Yes, just to increase everything else. Petrol's

now going to cost, is to be

phased in over six months from September it's emerged. Now, I would suspect that dreary Keir

will probably have to do yet another U-turn on this because the fuel duty rise will be the first time

in 15 years. Okay, this temporary cut that's been will be axed and now petrol will cost a lot more along with your

energy and your food and everything else um but don't worry as you heard in the news he managed to speak

to trump last night about greenland not that the donald give us a toss really what what um what um
