Changing Politics show

Summary: This week we focus on Europe's refugee crisis. With over sixty million people in the world displaced, what can we do to help? To dispel some of the myths around refugees, we spoke to Hamada, who arrived from Syria a month ago, as well as former Chair of the Refugee Council and author of section 67 of the Immigration Act - also known as The Dubs Amendment - Lord Alf Dubs, who was himself a refugee, arriving in Britain from Czechoslovakia in 1939. In Marie and Gráinne's roundup of the weeks' news we obviously focus on the strong and stable Chequers Brexit deal and Boris Johnson's resignation. Why is he so unpopular now? Marie, who has investigated his family in depth, has some theories (and some quotes from an anonymous Tory MP). We also briefly discuss Trump's visit to the UK, but then Gráinne mentions how much he got on with Macron and Marie gets understandably depressed.  <br><hr><p style="color: grey;">See <a style="color: grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
