Emily Thornberry on Asylum Hotels and the Ukraine War


Listen Later

Continuing LBC’s week-long guest series is Emily Thornberry, Labour MP and Chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee. Despite asylum hotel numbers dropping from 400 to just over 200 and new policies targeting the asylum claim back-log left by the previous government, this summer has seen more anti-immigration protests than ever before. Sometimes the simple questions have the most complex answers: why is it all kicking off now?

And, Russia's military has crossed into the eastern industrial region of Dnipropetrovsk in Ukraine, the first attack of such a large scale in the region. Donald Trump seems to think he can end the war and is reportedly prepared to provide intelligence and air support as part of a Ukrainian post-war security guarantee - but do you trust Donald Trump to negotiate a peace?
