About this episode
Today, we look at the latest net migration figures, as the UK hit a record 906,000 in the year to June 2023, much higher than previously thought. Sir Keir Starmer seized on the figures - which cover a period before Labour took office - to accuse the Tories of “running an open borders experiment”.
Adam is joined by Chris, Alex Forsyth and Nick Watt to discuss that and look ahead to the vote on assisted dying tomorrow.
