Independent Republic of Mike Graham on Talk Radio.

Good morning and welcome to the Independent Republic of Mike Graham right here on Talk Radio as we hit the halfway point of the week and the world seems just as weird as it has ever been. And I mean that actually most sincerely. As we await the last Prime Minister's questions before half turn, everybody in Westminster seems to be consumed by the route over whether Boris Johnson should have mentioned Jimmy Saville's name last week in the same sentence as Keir Stama. I happen to think it was fair game and all those blaming the

Prime Minister for poisoning the well of public debate are barking up the wrong tree. We are joined

this morning by Tori and Piper Ripswich, who is of course Tom Hunt. He's going to be telling us

exactly what he makes of all of it. Plus we'll get his view on the reshuffle yesterday in Downey Street.

Is it going to make any difference, or is it just a case of loving the deck chairs around on the Titanic?

0344-491,000 is the number.

and slapping on the head in front of his children. David Moy's the manager claim it was a

footballing decision and it was the right thing to do. But even Gary Linneker is calling it tone

death and it is a clear insult to all the thousands of people, many of them including many of you, who are demanding that he never play in the Premier League. Again, unbelievably, despite his being booed for turning up last night against Wap, but some West Ham fans actually think it's perfectly acceptable to keep him in the team. Has the world gone completely start staring bonkers mad? We speak to two former players

and get their view on footballers on and off the pitch. 034449-1,000. Coming up later on,

Tonya Buston is here with her take on the state of play. We'll be asking her about the efficacy

of a weight loss jab and we'll hear the latest with the front line of the lockdown fanatics

versus the freedom fighters. I mean, COVID almost seems to be a thing of the past now doesn't it people are

talking about NHS waiting this quite rightly because the government yesterday announced that they're

going to start reducing them sometime in 2024 we'll talk some more about that as well simon ball's

also popping in from the sun he was at the the gender-neutral Brits last night,

where Adele was crowned queen of the music business. She didn't pull out of that particular
