In this episode of The Brink, Andrew and Jake are joined by broadcaster Mike Graham to discuss his controversial departure from Talk TV, the rise of independent media, and why he believes Britain’s political and media establishment has lost touch with ordinary people. Drawing on four decades in journalism, Mike reflects on the wild days of Fleet Street, the decline of traditional newspapers, and how political journalists have become increasingly cosy with those in power. The conversation also explores mass immigration, multiculturalism, free speech, and the growing public anger over Britain's changing identity. They also discuss the BBC's declining credibility, the rise of fake news and AI-generated misinformation, Reform UK, government surveillance, and whether independent media can restore the public's trust in journalism.
