Overview
- Staff were told on 12 November that Mike Graham will not return to Talk after an internal investigation into his social media activity.
- News UK said Graham initially agreed to an inquiry using an independent forensic firm but later declined multiple opportunities to cooperate.
- The October Facebook post paired a Churchill statue with a crowded Tube image and used racist language that the company called abhorrent and vile.
- Graham denied authoring the post and claimed his account was hacked, while observers noted a near-identical Churchill image on his X account moments earlier.
- Following the decision, Graham announced he will launch The Mike Graham Show on YouTube and thanked supporters, as online reaction split between critics and backers.
