| 0:08.6 | Good morning and welcome to the Independent Republic of Mike Graham right here on Talk TV. |
| 0:12.8 | We are still here, as you might have expected. |
| 0:15.0 | We were told that thousands of people were going to die in the heat wave. |
| 0:17.9 | We're still waiting for news on that. |
| 0:19.5 | But there is a heat wave. |
| 0:20.4 | There's no doubt about it. It's a bit unpleasant. It's a bit hot. So if you are out and about, do make sure |
| 0:24.8 | that you know that it's hot. And of course you know that it's hot because you can feel it, |
| 0:28.8 | because you're a human being and you can feel the temperature. It's not hot at all. There are parts of the north of England today. There are a lot cooler than they were yesterday. Today, this morning, is supposed to be the hottest of all time |

| 1:22.1 | We'll bring you all of that. |
| 1:23.2 | Tom Tuganat dropped out yesterday. |
| 1:25.4 | Senior MP Tobias Elwood apparently has been stripped of the |
| 1:28.3 | Conservative Party whip after he abstained in the support of confidence voting the government. |
| 1:32.3 | We'll hear from Boris Johnson from what he said yesterday. The legacy that he leaves behind |
