Across the UK, online, on DAB and on your smart speaker, the Independent Republic of Mike Graham,

we will be joined by London mayoral candidate Sean Bailey on the shambolic crossrail project,

which is being delayed yet again. We'll check in with Georgie Frost from a boat in Spain.

She'll bring us up to date on the latest news from Quarantine Central, and we'll be finding out
