Good morning. You're watching the Independent Republic of Mike Graham right here on Talk.

We're on TV. We're on radio. We're online. And we're on your smart speaker.

Prosperity, the well and only former UKIP MEP, Mr Stephen. Stephen, how are you?

Independent Republic of Mike Graham. It's bigger, it's better,

and it's more expensive, a bit like the Home Office. I mean, you and I are in the wrong

business. I mean, your migration sort of study centre should be switched over and turned

into some kind of hostel for migrants, and you'd be driving around the Rolls Royce by Christmas.

A particular company, Claire Holmes, along with Mer Homes and Circo, had signed a four billion

pound deal with the home office at that time.
