0:15.6	Good morning, welcome to the Independent Republic of Mike Graham, right here on Talk Radio.
0:19.8	Lunch, dinner, free money, what's not to like? Never before has so much been given away to so many. Chancellor Rishi Sunak got up in Parliament yesterday and basically gave away the store. Vouches for meal deals when you're eating out, vouchers for making your house more green, a stamp duty holiday for home buyers, a block on VAT for the hospitality business and even money for companies to take back workers who are currently on furlough.
0:41.3	The 30 billion pound rescue plan for Britain's economy was served up to a chorus of cheers around the country, especially from 16 to 24-year-olds,
0:49.4	who are now furnished with a kickstart work experience scheme aimed at staving off mass youth unemployment.

1:37.9	We'll be checking him with John Rensel, the Chief Political Commentator at the Independent.
1:41.5	Always a wise choice of words from him.
1:44.5	We'll find out what he made of the economic statement.
1:47.3	One group who are still looking for answers, of course,
1:49.1	are the forgotten freelancers who are still looking for some support from the government.
