Summary
It’s the last weekend edition of Newscast of the year, and the government have decided to do their media round on migration.
Laura’s been speaking to the Yvette Cooper, and her Conservative counterpart Chris Philp to find out how the main parties want to tackle the issue.
Paddy, and Henry convene to chew through how migration has, and continues to be, a dominant issue in British politics - and how it could shape the future of Westminster.
And, as we hurtle towards Christmas, we discuss our favourite news moments of the year (and eat Italian biscuits).
