Summary

CEO of Independent Business Network Brendan Chilton kicks off today's show by delving into the morning's top headlines as hundreds of council staff are 'working from the beach' – with a ten-fold increase in the number allowed to log in from abroad. Town hall bosses have granted more than 1,350 requests to work from overseas over the past three years, figures show. Communications Officer at the IEA Reem Ibrahim joins shortly after to discuss Britain's welfare hotspots as Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester one in five people in the working-age population are claiming out-of-work benefits. We speak to Councillor Tony Ball from Essex County Council as 50 school buildings in Essex have been fitted with dangerous concrete, with several told to delay the start of term, a council said. Conservative MP for Orpington Gareth Bacon returns to the Independent Republic to discuss the ongoing fightback against London Mayor Sadiq Khans ULEZ expansion and the founder of Loch Ness Exploration Alan McKenna closes the show to give an update on his hunt for the Loch Ness monster as he “most exciting” potential sighting of the Loch Ness monster captured on camera for decades has been dampened as the strange object photographed “spinning and rolling” in the water is “most likely” a sturgeon. All that and so much more, so tune in!

0:00.0	Nationwide, by your side, talk radio and talk TV.
0:06.0	Good morning and welcome to the Independent Republican...
0:09.0	Good morning and welcome to the Independent Republic of Mike Graham right here on Talk TV. We are of course here with you for the start of the week. It is the beginning of yet another extraordinary period in politics. Parliament is actually back

0:26.1	them, not least the roofs of certain schools, hundreds of schools possibly, potentially,
0:30.7	which are under threat today, maybe under threat tomorrow of closure. This is the week that
0:35.9	parents bring their kids back to school or into
0:38.7	school for the first time. It's a pretty nerve-wracking time for an awful lot of them. And what they
0:43.0	don't need is an awful lot of uncertainty. And what they have right now is an awful lot of uncertainty.
0:48.0	Because at the end of the day, nobody knows really whether, particularly in Wales, any particular
0:52.2	school has a roof that's about to collapse.
0:54.8	It's a very strange story.
0:56.2	I never thought I'd be talking this much about concrete ever again.
0:59.2	But here we are.
1:00.2	Concrete is a massive problem.
1:01.7	It hasn't been put together properly.
1:03.3	It hasn't been built properly.
1:04.9	It hasn't been used properly.
1:06.3	It's growing out of all proportion.
1:07.8	And the story itself is a growing scandal of course for Rishi
1:11.3	Sunak, the Prime Minister. So who says concrete doesn't grow? Because this, I tell you, is the
