Good morning and welcome to the Independent Republic of Mike Graham right here on Talker Radio.

The B word is back this morning and it's not Brexit. That's right. Bunking Boris is on the front pages again

and it's no surprise to anyone. Boris included if the conspiracy theories are to be believed,

the former Foreign Secretary is clearing out all the skeletons in his closet before making

a leadership bid. And if that's true,

we could be here for some time. Katie Perry was here as well. She used to be one of his

advisors, of course, so he couldn't wish to be in a better place for knowing what's going on. Can

Boris B Prime Minister after this? Do you really care what he gets up to in his private life? You

might not at the moment, but if he was actually in number 10, I think it would make a massive difference.

034449, 1000 is a number.

Coming up later on in the show, we'll be finding out why councils treat the rich and four in their boroughs completely differently,

even down to resurfacing the posh end of a street in Oxford and neglecting the rest of it.

03444491,000.

We'll also be finding out why some women

are taking brain-boosting pills.

I can't imagine why they would need them.

I thought they were the cleverest species

in the first place.

No sniggering at the back, please.

And because it's Friday,

we'll have another sparkling edition

of the Perrier Awards.
