Former MEP and Chairman of the Freedom Association David Bannerman joins shortly after to discuss the weekend's conservative conference, where Home Secretary Suella Braverman urged the UK must train its own workers to curb migration. Director of The Centre for Policy Studies Robert Colvile returns to The Independent Republic to discuss his recent report on UK net migration as forecasts predict figures may top one million this year and The Reform Party's Alex Phillips closes the show to discuss why Tories are planning to leave thousands of EU laws intact in latest Brexit betrayal.
