About this episode
Annunziata Rees-Mogg joins to discuss the surge in Channel crossings after 545 migrants arrived in a single day, the busiest of the year so far, alongside mounting criticism of the UK’s deal with France and reports that small-boat arrivals are being processed in as little as 30 minutes. Is the government losing control of the border, and what should happen next?
On the NHS, former Health Minister Steve Brine and Dr Tony O’Sullivan debate claims that doubling funding has failed to improve outcomes, amid fresh warnings about waste and long-term pressures on the health service.
And Matt Ridley looks at the growing backlash over Net Zero and energy costs, as households are told bills would fall but many say they’re still paying more, raising questions about the direction of Britain’s energy policy.
