Morning Glory

Former MEP Ann Widdecombe kicks off today's show by delving into the morning's top headlines as Britain can no longer be described as a Christian country, three quarters of Church of England priests believe, according to a landmark survey conducted by The Times. Former Met Police Chief Superintendent Parm Sandhu joins shortly after to discuss the weekend of carnage at Notting Hill carnival as Stabbings at the Notting Hill Carnival reached the highest level in seven years at the weekend with violence, sexual offences and assaults on police officers marring the spectacle. Minister for London Paul Scully returns to The Independent Republic to discuss further this week's ULEZ expansion. Drivers must pay a charge of £12.50 per day to drive a non-compliant vehicle anywhere in the zone under the controversial clean-air plan. A £160m scrappage scheme is still available for all Londoners to claim from, with a maximum of £2,000 being offered per vehicle, and Annabel Denham from The Telegraph returns for her weekly takedown of the week's headlines. All that and so much more, so tune in!
