Labour's asylum seeker crackdown + Starmer snubs Swinney

from The National Podcast · host The National Podcast

We dig into the asylum changes planned by the UK Government, what they mean and the impending political fall-out. As Keir Starmer rejects a Budget meeting with John Swinney, why won't the UK co-operate with Scotland? And with Reform's only MSP admitting they only have two policies, what hope do they have at Holyrood 26.
