About this episode
There's a new plan for deterring migrants from crossing the channel and coming to the UK - but will it actually work?
This week, Beth, Ruth and Harriet have a deep dive into one of the most divisive and defining political issues of our time: migration.
In the week France's President Emmanuel Macron has been hobnobbing with the great and the good on his state visit to the UK, he's also agreed a new 'one in, one out' returns deal with the prime minister. So is this a breakthrough deal?
Also - how could stemming migration cause problems for the UK? Are the numbers really out of control? And how does this all link back to the economy?
Remember, you can also watch us on YouTube.
