Hello and welcome to Coffee House shotsots, The Spectator's Daily Politics Podcast.

I'm Katie Balls, and I'm joined by James Fasife and Kate Andrews, who joins us down the line from Calais.

James, we just had Prime Minister's questions, and Boris Johnson was put under pressure, actually, by his own side when it comes to the UK's current offer to Ukrainian refugees. What happened? So Julian Smith, the former Chief Whip,

and before that the kind of Soviet famine in the Ukraine and yet cannot get approved to come to the UK

to live with one of her grandchildren who is here.

And I think there are more and more of these human cases.

And I mean there is mounting pressure on the government to do more, something that

Kate reflects in her cover story in the magazine this week. Kate, when it comes to the roots for
