A Common Wealth'er here. I nominate Justin Trudeau, the Priminister of Canada. The guy who is driving Canada into the ground. He's gotta go. He's useless.
@ Reform is never winning an election. The only votes they can pick up are from dissatisfied Tory voters which is why they only have 5 seats. And even if they did, they are nothing but vacuous populists who just tell you what you want to hear to validate your bias. There is absolutely zero substance. They have no policies, no detail, no plan. Just like Trump, it’s all empty rhetoric that appeals to ideologues.
@@rosemarywoolley8394 I only half agree. This stuff is so awful, it hardly necessary to comment. It's not as it there's a reasonable argument for any of this disgraceful behaviour.
When I was in the Army we had to follow the cultural rules of the country we were serving in. Just like you do when you go on holiday, the holiday reps will often guide you on some do's and don'ts. Those countries retained some of their cultural identity. Where as the UK is a place to strip away its cultural identity. To me it started in 1976 when Sikhs were exempt from wearing helmets, which set a precedence for other amendments and exceptions to follow. What they should have done, was to say if you want to ride a bike, design a helmet to fit over the turban. Now we change our laws at the drop of a hat, we curtail some of our traditions so as not to upset foreign nationals that have taken up residence. I just hope that Reform UK has the strength of mind that they claim to have, and undo much of the change that has taken place over resent years, and return the UK back to its quirky traditions. If the English, Northern Irish, Scottish and Welsh want to fly their home nation's flag or the union flag then they should be free to do so without being reprimanded, or made to feel they can't. Let us have our pride in our heritage and culture back.
& they use the lie that "they come her because they can speak the language" So WHY are we spending millions of pounds of tax payers money on translation services.....???
Greetings from Canada! Love your candor and honesty in reporting outrageous behaviors and antics in the public sphere. Here in Canuckistan, we are not allowed to criticize Those in Power. Glad you can still do it (for now) in the UK.
I’m late coming to this weeks programme, but I need to join in because I admire Talk TV for allowing the truth to be broadcast and Mike plus all of his ‘guests’ for expressing the thoughts and feelings, (in a straight forward, unique and often amusing manner), which I and many other decent people agree with. Thank you to one and all. 👍
A recon lord Ali n sir Keir no g8r has some dirty laundry to be washed n aired in public deffo hiding some sort crime if no it's been crime awarded to these pair bams giving them knight hood ect for what reason have these 2 been awarded ?
Happy New Year to you Mike, guests, and everyone behind the scenes at Talk. You got it right on my part Mike.... No one should ever tweet, I never make mistakes. Lol. x
Just want to say to Nigel, please watch Tommy's video's, then you will know Tommy is a true Patriot. Tommy is used as a scapegoat because no one wants the truth to come out. We need to know the truth, so Nigel must see what they are doing to Tommy & why they are doing it. Tommy is Innocent
He is one of the reasons people don't protest about this government. His background and supporters are a stick to beat the right with. He shouldn't be in prison though. It's disgusting that the government have made it happen as part of a cover up.
@@realrecoginizereal8715I always find it amazing when people who would never consider putting themselves through what TR has been through, to ensure they maintain their cushy lifestyle, think they are in a position to criticise. The reason so many people are aware of the issue is because TR had the courage to stand up. When you find the bravery to face off with the establishment come back and let us know how you get on. The majority of his supporters are normal British people, worried about their kids and the future of the UK, but according you, they are the problem.
@ Reform presented Ben Habib with a fait accompli 🥴 he had no choice but to leave 🧐 I am certain if Reform changes tack from subscribers to members then Ben Habib will return to the fold 🤔
British "justice" is completely race-based, now. Look at the white grandparents rushed into "special courts" with speed never seen before and then jailed for months...all over tweets, posts, standing silently and filming on the streets. Ditto for Tommy Robinson, strongarmed into prisons as soon as the Starmtroopers could do it. Meanwhile, it took months for the Manchester airport thugs to be charged (only came about due to shows like this that wouldn't let the story die); and the Starmtroopers are now blocking any review or inquiry into the non-white grooming gangs. If that is not evidence of the anti-white racism in the UK, I don't know what is. Reform can't get into power fast enough. God save Britain.
Yes! Thank you to anyone working in or around the trains. Because of their perpetual strike actions, I wasn't able to go home for Christmas and still can't plan to go home because they are STILL threatening strikes. They really don't have any idea how much they are affecting peoples' lives.
Me-again's opening line was priceless! 😂 "I've always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it." No sh1t, Sherlock. You took a Z-list actress and made her a fake Duchess! 🤣
The rest of the Pakistani community knew what was going on but stayed quiet. I remember a 'source' saying Muslim girls were treated badly too. Well perhaps the silent majority in these communities should start speaking up.
Eating the dogs and cats may have been true. When I lived in Upton Park in the 1990s there were headlines in the Newham Recorder about animals being stolen from the City Zoo and one girl recognised a goat she had gone to see often at the zoo with its head coming out of a sack at the butcher’s.
Jess phillips is talking out of her backside she said its up to Oldham council if they won't a hold an inquiry seriously so if they don't want to hold an inquiry the abuse of children can carry on. It is not for the council it is a crime and must be investigated along with phillips and starmer. The victims come first.
"Public investigation" is just an excuse to avoid answering awkward questions in parliament. How many times have we heard "I cannot answer while the investigation is ongoing " 😮
How can you tell when Kier Starmer has landed at a foreign Airport. You can still hear this incredibly irritating high pitched whining sound, after the planes engines are switched off!.
Precisely. When you grow up in a country, you are influenced by that country's values, and while she was born in the UK, she lived in Nigeria until she was 16. Whether fairly or not, KB will always face suspicions of split loyalties.
My favourite show, they all do a great service and lift our spirits, showing that most Brits STILL have a great sense of humour. Happy New Year to all, good luck and god bless.
Oh dear, poor little Benny H really is bitter. Of course, had poor little Benny H done his job better, Reform would have many more sitting MPs. Thankfully, Nigel stepped in and things are miving forward very quickly and securely with poor little Sour Benny H.

It was expleined in the session that Tory 'Members' can actually affect decision making under membership rules, whereas Reform signatories can't).
@@nearlypastit2385 I like Ben. but he sounds a bitter man and slightly vindictive. However, I think he has got a valid point regarding the differences between Tories memberships and Reform signatories. This question must be put to Nigel Farage.
Most people I’ve spoken to, and I have said it didn’t feel like Christmas because it had been going on for so long (early Sep onwards). Easter 2025 isn’t until 20 Apr - almost as late as it can be.
Who is YOUR Plank Of The Week?
The drummer out of Queen for his - I'll be polite- underwhelming performance on the Jools Holland New Year show.
Rentoul talking to Mike Graham this week.
Jess Phillips
A Common Wealth'er here. I nominate Justin Trudeau, the Priminister of Canada. The guy who is driving Canada into the ground. He's gotta go. He's useless.
Keir Starmer is going to be my perpetual plank of the week for the next 4 years.
Anyone involved in a cover-up of such a heinous crime should go to jail for life.
Including Jess Philipps
Agree
but like all these enquiries, they won't ask the right questions.... Who knew what when? & why didn't they open their mouths?
Letting the Oldham council investigate rape gangs is like putting rats in charge of the cheese.
Yep as Nigel says the rot starts at the head.
Probably literally.
Yes Zahid Chauhan Mayor
Arooj Shah
Labour Leader
As serious this is your analogy made me spit out my coffee😅
Maybe you should get help
The reason why it is called PMQs is because there are only questions and no answers. Excellent show as usual!
It's more often than not deputy PMQ's being as Starmer is never here. He's too busy flying around the globe giving our money away to other countries.
Suppose that would be ideal meeting your anyone gone to it plenty questions garenteed no answer
Musk stopped paying king his ransom London rent
Elon is a legend for giving Mrs Robinson her voice 😅
I am 78 and have joined a political party for the first time in my life, I have joined Reform uk , paid my £25 and happy to do so.
lol what a waste of money
Not a waste of money actually, I did the same, Reform must win the next election otherwise this count will fall.

ME TOO at the age of seventy five. I felt impelled to do it because we ALL need to do something other than moan about what's going on. 🏴
Me too Ken,
I am 67.
Save Britain.
Join Reform!
Best show on the wireless and it doesn't cost me a peny. Defund the BBC!

A good line up this week too
Why do british have to adhere to foreign cultures. This is britain and they should respect british values and cultures.
I think many many years ago it was seen as being polite. Now it's descended into being racist if you don't adhere to other cultures.
When I was in the Army we had to follow the cultural rules of the country we were serving in. Just like you do when you go on holiday, the holiday reps will often guide you on some do's and don'ts.

Plank is Jess Phillips!
100%😊
Worse than that.😡
There should be an inquiry but a lot quicker than the Post Office inquiry.
And an honest result!
thank goodness its friday for plank of the week great show much needed watch
The house of Honours has now become The House of Dishonours...
A think it's always been that way since Maggie n pol tax n miners strikes ect
Great show. Great guests! ❤for the wonderful Ben Habib. And guys, just fyi, Christmas decorations go up on Christmas eve and come down on 12th night.
Ya don't say, good job you told us because we didn't know. 🙄🥱
@@rosieposie6521well obviously most don’t, they’re put up far too soon, so no need for the sarcasm.

Mike Graham is the best show
on Talk. Factual, entertaining and informative but still manages to have humour. Perfect mix.
@@user-xs9fp3ic9ytotally agree with you.
happy New Year, Mike and all the team love watching plank of the week👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Keep going Mike,absolutely love u.
AND STARMER FOR JUMPING THE QUEUE
I joined Reform today because of Chemical Badenough. Lying about Reform, own goal!
i think NF should send her a huge bouquet of flowers to thank her for her help in recruiting.
Great panel Mike!
@@kay1625 I quite like it when Amanda Devlin is on…😀😀
Justice is blind ? Justice is bought !
Love this show. Makes me laugh every week.
Sadiq Khan, he is my plank of the week
Perhaps it could be added to his knighthood. Sir Sadiq Khan of Plank, all week, every week.
He's Plank of the Decade!
Plank? he's the whole frikin forest!...
Love Mike on Christian theology. Well done Mike!
Glad you all remembered Maggie Oliver.

This "working from home" from either home here in the UK or home abroad happens also with managers in the NHS.
My planks of the week are Khan,Starmer and Ali,all boys together.Happy new year Talk TV.🎉❤❤❤😊😊😅
A recon lord Ali n sir Keir no g8r has some dirty laundry to be washed n aired in public deffo hiding some sort crime if no it's been crime awarded to these pair bams giving them knight hood ect for what reason have these 2 been awarded ?
I dont often laugh out loud even when i watch a comedy panel show, but these discussions are hillarious and have me in stitches.
My favourite programme. Happy New Year xx
Mine too!!
I love Ben Habib. A true leader.
Really he’s constantly doing what he’s can to discredit Farage, not a good look
He let's himself down with sour grapes
He sounds dead ringer for that Douglas McGregor
Love Mike 🏴🏴
Part ey my Scottish breakfast aw last year was good buzz ripping no g8r Keir best was lord Ali 😅
❤ mike , tell's it how it is👍💯🇬🇧🌟🥇
They're magnificent.👀.. Great panel as well.
🍉🍉
Right? You should've seen her outfit the last time she was on the panel, stunning
Excellent Plankery as ever. The highlight of my week!
Train driver union practices. Unbelievable. Informative and entertaining show. Thanks.
Love ❤ this show, you guys are hilarious 😂 G'day everyone ❤love from Australia 🇦🇺
Happy new year all!
A very good plank show. An interesting panel.
Happy New Year! Great start!

Dziękujemy.
All that has changed Mr Habib. Reform belongs to the Members.
Hahahaha, much needed laugh out loud moments. Thank you 😅x
Ben Habib has his finger on the pulse and any political party would be absolutely crazy not to have him as a member 🧐
Ben chose to leave Reform so don’t blame them that he now is politically homeless.
@ Reform presented Ben Habib with a fait accompli 🥴 he had no choice but to leave 🧐 I am certain if Reform changes tack from subscribers to members then Ben Habib will return to the fold 🤔
I think given they have had their raise at the cost of pensioners it's a disgrace they are doing more strikes
Happy new year! I'm glad you're not on a long break!
Well done everyone.
When younger our decorations went up on Christmas Eve along with the Tree?
I agree with Ben- justice shouldn't be rasist or against any religion. Justice should be a punushment for crime despite who the perpatrator is !

The truth will come out regarding these vile grooming gangs,just like the post office scandal .
Ben Habib is very wise!!
But very jealous. He threw his toys out because he couldn’t be leader.
@@user-xs9fp3ic9y yes, I agree. A great shame because he would have been an asset to Reform had he waited a while to be elected in his constituency.
