A very good morning to you. What is it? Thursday the 15th of January with talk, of course, where the nation comes to talk, where the alarm clock Brits who do their thing and pay their taxes have their say. And as ever, if you want to be on this, so much in the news today.

Loads of people lined up. Great lineup today. 03-4. 4-9-1-1000. You can get those voice notes in as soon as you've got an opinion. Christian, raring to go, hasn't had much sleep, suffering from what most people who have children do, which is, why did you wake up at 1 o'clock? It makes no sense. Everybody else is going, yeah, glad I'm got kids. You can text 8-7, treble two, start your message of the word talk.

Not going to inundate you, but there's two main news stories today, obviously.

Four million people.

Four million of us will be denied the vote in May's local election in what is being quite rightly, I think, described a disgraceful attack on our democracy.

The government, bless them, is expected to cancel these 27 council elections, meaning

hundreds of councils will avoid the risk of losing.

The Tories and reform up in arms saying this is outrageous.

I love to know what you think, surely.

I mean, the conspirators amongst you will say, is he going to cancel the general election?

But this is absolutely nothing more than Stama running scared.

Running scared of the fact that this country is rejecting almost everything he and his government talk about.

03-4, 4-9-1,000.

You might have, well, if you've been listening to this station, we've been following this story for weeks. I am beyond confused. Yesterday, the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood stood up

in Parliament and said she'd lost confidence in that useless West Midlands police chief

Craig Guilford. He, though, this morning, ready for this? I'm not going to resign. It's very unfair the way.

Sorry, you lied, you anti-Semitic, useless piece of crap.

You lied, you should resign.

And even worse, the, what is it, the West Midlands Police and Crime Commission.

I'd love his name.

I need to see all the facts.

I'll deal with it in a month.
