Could Farage 'stop the boats'?
Episode description
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has called small boat crossings a “national security emergency” and said Britain should cut off funding to France if it keeps escorting migrant vessels. But is it even possible to 'stop the boats'?
Kamal and Camilla are joined by The Telegraph’s Home Affairs Editor Charles Hymas, who was on a catamaran on the Channel with Farage as he launched his party’s plan to address small boat crossings.
And as Julian Assange is finally released from prison following plea deal with US authorities, we ask if the WikiLeaks founder is a free speech hero - or just a shameless self publicist.
Plus, what do politicians’ favourite TV shows reveal about them?
