Season 1

Description
As the Lords come under scrutiny, we’re joined by one of the good ones – Lord Alf Dubs joins Dorian Lynskey in the Bunker to discuss how his own experience as a holocaust survivor impacts his politics, the failure of consecutive home secretaries and how the Lords should be modernised under Starmer’s Labour party.
- “Right wing parties across Europe exploit the asylum issue for their own shabby political ends.”
- “The Lords appointment system worked well, until you get a PM like Johnson who totally abused it.”
- “There's nothing unworthy about being an economic migrant but it doesn't give you the human rights protection of an asylum seeker.”
Written and presented by Dorian Lynskey. Producer: Liam Tait. Audio editor: Robin Leeburn. Managing editor: Jacob Jarvis. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production.
