Rish Upon A Car

Former No10 Adviser & Founder Conservative Home Tim Montgomerie kicks off todays show by delving into the mornings top headlines as Rishi Sunak has ordered a review of hated low-traffic neighbourhoods as MPs and motoring groups have demanded additional action from the PM to target anti-car policies and ­protect cash-strapped drivers. Conservative MP for Orpington Gareth Bacon joins shortly after to discuss last weeks high court ruling that decided the proposed ULEZ expansion is indeed lawful, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is urging the Mayor of London to "think twice" on his plans to expand the Ultra Low Emissions Zone (Ulez) to outer London. Former Met Police Detective Chief Inspector Mike Neville returns to the Independent Republic to discuss a shocking shortage of detectives that has led to an "abysmal" drop in prosecutions which sees 90% of crimes go unsolved, ministers have been warned. And Director, The Bruges Group Robert Oulds closes the show to discuss how serious criminals are to be barred from gaining British citizenship under tough new rules that come into force on Monday.

Any criminal who has received a jail sentence of a year or more will face stricter “good character” rules that will allow immigration officials to reject their applications for citizenship. All that and so much more, so tune in!
