David Mellor sat in for James Whale on LBC's Drive tonight...
We started off by looking at the story surrounding calls for changes in immigration policy after the apparent suicide of three asylum-seekers. One charity is calling for an inquiry, saying our asylum laws are wrong. Do we need to show more compassion? David had a rather robust discussion with Robina Qureshi, who's the Director of charity "Positive Action in Housing." Hear the interview now on the podcast section of our website, lbc.co.uk
The political row over violent crime rates has been reopened today when the Tories claimed House of Commons research showed incidents had risen by 44% under Labour. The Home Secretary has described this as "a big fat lie..." Who are we supposed to believe?
The latest opinion polls are pointing towards a hung parliament at the next election.
What are the implications of this for good government? David discussed this with the Founder of Mori, Sir Robert Worcester.
