Baroness Kate Hoey of Lylehill and Rathlin kicks off the show today to discuss the Northern Ireland Protocol and the mounting pressure on Rishi Sunak as we look ahead to cuts on fuel duty to ease the cost-of-living crisis. Director of Communications at the IEA Annabel Denham joins shortly after to shed more light on this week's Spring Statement from the Chancellor. Mail on Sunday Columnist Peter Hitchens returns to the Independent Republic for his weekly focusing on the moral posturings of the west and the way in which mortalities were recorded during the pandemic could mean thousands of deaths may have been incorrectly blamed on the virus. And retired head teacher with 35 years’ teaching experience and former advisor to the Policy Unit at 10 Downing Street under two Prime Ministers Chris McGovern comes to discuss how pupils need to learn the benefits of the British Empire from a historical standpoint rather than smearing it as wholly negative. All that and so much more so tune in!
