Godfrey Bloom and a postcode-by-postcode benefits bill lead Mike Graham's Tuesday stream
The full three-hour recording ran far ahead of the shorter clips cut from the same morning, and viewers keep asking for one thing back: subtitles.

UKLIVE Tuesday 6th October 2026 inc. The Mike Graham show 7-10am
Every weekday the channel posts its morning as a single long recording, and most of those start slowly: a full stream usually ends its first day at around 5,000 views. Tuesday's was past 95,000 within 17 hours.
The recording holds The Mike Graham Show from 7 to 10am, then Littlewood & Cox until noon. Graham, the former talkRADIO and TalkTV presenter who now fronts his own independent breakfast show, spent part of the morning on the Taxpayers' Alliance's postcode tool for Britain's welfare spending, then brought in Godfrey Bloom to talk defence, including Conservative talk of an "iron dome" for Britain. Later, Paul Cox sat down with Ted Newson, a young man from Clacton on the right, to ask what became of the optimism of the Brexit years.
The interesting part is where the views went. The stand-alone clips cut from that same morning, including Graham's benefits "Meltdown" and a chat about the pound, stayed in the low thousands, and even Liz Truss's conversation with Cox drew a fraction of the full stream. On this Tuesday, people wanted the whole morning.
Bloom is the name the comments return to most, with several viewers asking for his segments as separate clips. Others swap notes on folic acid in bread flour. One longtime viewer with failing hearing asks whether the subtitles, which first came and went and have now vanished, could be switched back on.
