Welcome to another exciting edition of Plank of the Week.

The fastest growing TV show that we do here at Talk Radio TV. It's the only one actually that we do, but it's still going very well. I'm delighted to say that the government has put new restrictions on us again. So it's going to be an interesting few weeks while we try to find enough people that we can get into the building to actually start in Plank of the Week's panel.

Today, I've got a newbie with me, though, I have to say. Olivia Utley, who is a deputy leader writer at the Sun. Thank you very much, indeed, Olivia, for joining us here. Kevin O'Sullivan's back. He doesn't seem to, you've got a room here in the building here or something. You seem to be here all the time. Yeah, I've just, I'm camping now. We do about 15 shows a week for Tilt Radio.

I'm going to ask you, Olivia, I've just, I'm camping now. You do about 15 shows a week for Tilt Radio.

I'm going to ask you, Olivia, to kick us off with your first nomination. Who have you got for us? I have gone for Sadiq Khan as my talk nomination. He's a very worthy and very frequently mentioned member of the Plank of the Weeks school. Oh, sorry, I didn't have done. There's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with that. I feel he's been particularly plankage this week.

Yeah, I mean, I'm not sure people have seen that

photo of him. It's just classic if it was posturing, pretending to get a flu jab for a photo

opportunity with the cap of the flu jab still on. Just because all he does is, is take nice

photos of himself

that's literally the only thing he's a virtue signal

he's an obsessive virtue signal

and London's crashing and burning around him

he seems to be keen to introduce lockdown restrictions

on the capital faster than the government is

his only plan is to sort of get in there first

he doesn't think the curfews early

enough does he? No he doesn't think the curfews early, does he?

No, he doesn't think the curfews early. London's not in enough trouble already. Let's lock it down. Let's do more. Let's do more. And particularly keen to lock down the city, which obviously if the city, you know, there's a whole ecosystem in the city where the bars and restaurants and lunch bars, etc. and cleaners and offices, they all support each other and they make the city one of the most valuable place in the country to do business.

If the city sinks, then the whole country is in serious trouble, but Sadiq Khan seems absolutely determined to lock it down fast on the government.

Yes, and what he loves to also do is to try and dissuade anyone who's got a vehicle of any kind from traveling anywhere in London. The result of which has made that there's more people traveling than ever before. He's made these ridiculous kind of low traffic zones, what they call them, in different parts of London, which have completely ruined. It took me. And I know that people will say, oh, look, look at him. He's in a car and he's complaining about the traffic. Well, the reason I'm in a car is, is I'm going to Sussex to see my kids and my dog, right?

It took me two hours to get from London Bridge to Lewisham on Friday afternoon. That's about three miles. So that's a mile and a half an hour, literally, is the travelling time. because he's put cycle lanes

across three courses of the road.
