serving of good old fashioned common sense the independent republic of mike graham on talk radio

good morning and welcome to the independent republic of mike graham right here at the World Headquarters of Common Sense, where once again we are charting a safe passage for you through the rather choppy waters of this dangerous world in which we now live. Don't worry about what's going on in Downing Street. There's plenty going on elsewhere. Joe Biden's been swearing at reporters. Vladimir Putin is still

threatening to invade the Ukraine. We're not quite sure what's happening there, but we'll bring you up to date on it.

Over at Downing Street, they're busy fighting off yet another party gate tale. This time it was some cake for Boris Johnson's birthday,

served up in the cabinet office, complete with singing cards and about 30 people. At the time,

indoor gatherings

were banned, but the rearguard action is already in full flow, with the Prime Minister's

defenders saying it was yet another work event, and it only took 10 minutes. Well, that's all right

then. It still would have caused other people outside of Downing Street to have been probably

arrested and charged with something. It was just days to go until the release of the Sue Gray investigation into Downing Street parties. It is said that this latest revelation

was already included in the report, so it won't come as any surprise to her. But how many more

are there? And just what will it take for any of them to make Boris budge? John Rental is here

with us this morning to discuss what is likely to happen next. And of course,

no doubt he will make a reference to Lord Agnew of Alton, who know I've never heard of either,

apparently said the Treasury was so desperately inadequate in dealing with fraud that he's now resigned from the government. He did that yesterday in the House of Lords to sound ringing of

applause. Well, you know what side they're on, don't you? What happens next? It's literally anybody's guess. The big question on everybody's lips is, when's he going to go? Not if,

but just when. I don't know. The Sue Gray report may be out tomorrow. There's Prime Minister's

questions to come, so Kit Astama may have another go getting rid of him, but literally it's anybody's guess right now. John's got some breaking news for us though as well. 034-4-49-1,000.

Laura Dodsweather is here a bit later on with her take on the Nudge units,

which have now gone from COVID to the highway code.

They're now trying to make it impossible for you to drive a car at anywhere at all
