Look-Ness!

from Talk Breakfast

CEO of Independent Business Network Brendan Chilton kicks off today's show by delving into the morning's top headlines as hundreds of council staff are 'working from the beach' – with a ten-fold increase in the number allowed to log in from abroad. Town hall bosses have granted more than 1,350 requests to work from overseas over the past three years, figures show. Communications Officer at the IEA Reem Ibrahim joins shortly after to discuss Britain's welfare hotspots as Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester one in five people in the working-age population are claiming out-of-work benefits. We speak to Councillor Tony Ball from Essex County Council as 50 school buildings in Essex have been fitted with dangerous concrete, with several told to delay the start of term, a council said. Conservative MP for Orpington Gareth Bacon returns to the Independent Republic to discuss the ongoing fightback against London Mayor Sadiq Khans ULEZ expansion and the founder of Loch Ness Exploration Alan McKenna closes the show to give an update on his hunt for the Loch Ness monster as he “most exciting” potential sighting of the Loch Ness monster captured on camera for decades has been dampened as the strange object photographed “spinning and rolling” in the water is “most likely” a sturgeon. All that and so much more, so tune in! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
