Summary
Chief Political Commentator at The Independent John Rentoul kicks off today's show to discuss the morning's top headlines as Jeremy Corbyn announces his fight against Labour as an Independent moving forward, NHS falls out of favour with the general public in a new poll low and the plans from the Home Office for migrants to be housed on a giant barge and two military bases rather than hotels under government plans to deter people from coming to the UK. Academic & Writer Matthew Goodwin returns to the Independent Republic to discuss his recent piece in The Sun discussing how Britain is being run by a ‘New Elite’ of radical woke middle-class liberals completely out of step with the public. TalkTVs Kevin O Sullivan joins Mike shortly after to discuss the sad passing of broadcasting legend Paul O Grady and The Spectators James Heale closes the show to react to today's PMQs live from College Green. All that and so much more, so tune in!
