.....over immigration. A conservative minister on Sophie Ridge this morning saying that anyone who enters the country illegally with be refused asylum. After that interview a Labour shadow cabinet member, Jonathan Ashworth, was asked if he agreed with policy. He squirmed and said he hadn't seen the draft legislation.
