Summary

Chairman of The Freedom Association and Former MEP David Bannerman kicks off todays show to discuss Liz Truss' return into the public sphere after her abrupt resignation last year, former defence minister Gerald Howarth joins shortly after to echo Truss' return with particular regard made to her plans to reignite her China row in a fresh challenge to Rishi Sunak. Columnist for the Mail on Sunday Peter Hitchens returns for his weekly discussion with Mike with a particular focus on last week's revelation that the army spied on lockdown critics in an operation that targeted politicians and high-profile journalists like Peter who raised doubts about pandemic response. Host of What China Wants podcast Sam Olsen returns to the Independent Republic to discuss the Chinese spying balloon saga and how it has deflated efforts to mend US-China relations, Annabel Denham from the Institute of Economic Affairs closes the show to discuss her recent piece in the Spectator that outlines what striking workers don’t tell you about public sector pay as the biggest-ever round of NHS strikes gets under way today. All that and so much more, so tune in!

0:36.4	After all, what have we got to look forward to this week?
