Summary
In a special show the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood speaks exclusively to Trevor Phillips after unveiling her new plans for the country’s immigration system, including controversial plans for deporting children.
As new polling for Sky News shows 67% of people surveyed think immigration is too high, the Government are having to change how they act and the policies they implement.
Sky's Deputy Political Editor Sam Coates, Executive Director of Tax Justice UK Faiza Shaheen, and former Conservative Home editor and now Reform UK supporter Tim Montgomerie are also on the show to work out what these announcements mean.
You can watch Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips from 8:30am every weekend.
