Tory Immigration Crackdown And Do Labour's Spending Taps Need Unblocking? | Pod Save The Uk
Pod Save the UK
It’s been a big week in the Tories’ war on foreigners. While efforts to resuscitate the Rwanda plan continue, Nish and Coco pick over the Government’s five-point plan to reduce legal immigration. For Nish, these are measures produced by people who clearly have no lived experience of relying on the NHS or on social care. Coco points out the cruelty of minimum income plans that could split families up, and also discriminate against women.
Former National Security Adviser to Obama, and co-host of Pod Save the World, Ben Rhodes, joins us to give us the American view on Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer. As someone who’s been in the room with Benjamin Netenyahu, Ben gives us his take on the Israel Gaza crisis, and reflections on the stance taken by the UK and the US as the situation worsens. Plus, he has a glorious anecdote that takes in the twin British obsessions of royalty and toilets!
Guests:
Ben Rhodes, co-host of Pod Save the World, and former White House Deputy National Security Adviser
