Summary

Today, at least eight people have died whilst trying to cross the Channel from France to England. Foreign secretary David Lammy spoke to Laura, with Keir Starmer’s upcoming trip to Italy where immigration has also been a key issue for Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

Laura and Paddy, joined by Newsnight’s Nick Watt, also react to Lammy speaking about the Western allies stance on allowing Ukraine to fire long-range missiles into Russia and his views on former US President Donald Trump and the misinformation he shared during the Presidential debate this week about migrants.

Plus, there’s chat about UEFA warning the government that England could be kicked out of Euro 2028 over the independent football regulator and Victoria Starmer’s clothes shopping being paid for by Labour donor Lord Waheed Alli.
