What a week for The Mike Graham Show. Some fantastic ideas and comments on the Substack chat and on our YouTube channel chat too. They really do inspire me and give me some great ideas for future subjects on air. So do keep them coming please.
Mike Fairclough, our partner publisher in Free Speech Press, has released my third book Independence Day - which went straight to number one on the Amazon charts. It’s a guide to how we got to where we are and why the mainstream media is failing on so many levels. Thanks to all of you for making that happen so quickly.
We also put the finishing touches to our Staff Christmas Party taking place next week. It’s going to be a hoot. UK LIVE goes out for the night.
We were able to get stuck in to loads of big stories, the Trump mid-term election disaster, King Charles and his reparations in the Caribbean plus Andy Burnham’s champagne socialist love of private jets.
A few things happened behind the scenes that made me very happy - not least the redesign of our YouTube home page. It’s much simpler to navigate now and you can find all our great shows much more easily. Paul Cox & Friends, Lee & Lembit LIVE, Frontline with Will Geddes, The Liz Truss Show, Jasmine Birtles, The Thought Police and, of course, Plank of the Week.
We were also able to announce a brand new signing to the channel. Ralph Schoellhammer joins UK LIVE every Saturday night now starting next weekend. Personally, I can’t wait…
Dan Wootton was kind enough to have me on his show too - and he awarded me his Greatest Briton accolade for setting up UK LIVE, Britain’s brightest new TV channel.
We ended the week with a visit to the Together 5th year anniversary conference. The a
mazing Alan Miller invited me to appear on a panel with former Mumford & Sons rock star Winston Marshall. We hope to see him in the Mike Graham Show soon. Rafe Heydel-Mankoo and Based & Bougie were there too - and we had a lovely message on stage from Colin Brazier.

I met so many fans who were delightful. Some wanted selfies, others asked me to sign their books. It was thoroughly enjoyable.
Now that we’ve got Guy Fawkes Night out of the way we can prepare for some fireworks of our own. I’ll be back holding this government to account at 7am tomorrow. See you there.
Looking forward to next week, and the debut of Ralph's show next Sunday👍
Some crackin photos there Mike. A HUGE thank you to you, Puch and the rest of your amazing team and guests, for keeping us sane, informed of what's really going on and all the laughs. May you go from strength to strength. Many many good wishes.
