Description

Immigration. The issue which drove so many people to vote to leave the EU before the 2016 EU referendum is back in the news and rising as an issue. Alp Mehmet, Chairman of Migration Watch, popped by the Red Lion pub to discuss the newest immigration figures of 606,000 net. It’s also been a big week for Labour's plans for the economy with Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves jetting off (pun intended) to America to deliver her "business model for Britain" speech. One senior Labour MP who is doing some serious thinking about inequality and what the next Labour government needs to do about it is Liam Byrne, MP for Hodge Hill and a former Treasury minister.Plus, former Boris Johnson aide-turned-novelist Cleo Watson joins Chris to talk about partygate, Cummings and her new novel, "Whips", described as a cross between 50 Shades of Grey and House of Cards.
