About this episode
By the end of March this year there were 200 “asylum hotels”, housing around 30,000 asylum seekers. Yesterday, a high court ruled that asylum seekers will have to be removed from the Bell Hotel in Essex - a site of large protests after an asylum seeker staying there was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. To break it down, Lewis speaks with Lauren Starkey, independent social worker & anti-human trafficking campaigner, and Lizzie Dearden, home affairs and security journalist.
And, the government is launching a new Civil Service internship that’ll be open only to students of lower socio-economic backgrounds, in an effort to make Whitehall more representative of the wider population. Investigating this is LBC’s Political Editor Natasha Clark, who joins Lewis to explain the impacts this internship could have.
