Description

The Government’s Illegal Migration Bill is “morally unacceptable” according to the Archbishop of Canterbury. But since when did that stop the Conservatives? We look at the chaos, the confusion and the growing asylum seeker backlog. Plus, Labour did OK in the locals but were the real winners the Greens and the Lib Dems? And what does it mean for the General Election? And in the Extra Bit, for subscribers only, our panel discusses their favourite on-air mistakes. 


“The UNHCR says the legislation would amount to an asylum ban and undermine international legislation… it’s a horrible, horrible plan.” - Naomi Smith


“I can’t see how it’s anything other than a floating prison.” - Naomi Smith


“Cast your mind back, Labour had a 20 to 30 point lead and now it has a 12 point lead, which is quite a big drop.” - Naomi Smith


“Things like rivers full of shit are very high on people’s agendas and people are very clear that the Tories have done that to them.” - Arthur Snell
