Labour faces Nimby nightmare after Burnham’s migrant plan
Description
In Thursday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss how Andy Burnham’s controversial plan to distribute asylum seekers to middle-class constituencies is causing problems for Labour MPs, including York Central’s Rachael Maskell. She is opposed to housing asylum seekers at a local RAF base, despite her long-standing pro-refugee rhetoric.
Plus, with voting under way in the Clacton by-election, Camilla and Tim have spoken to two candidates vying for votes in Essex – William Clouston of the Social Democratic Party, and the intergalactic politician Count Binface, candidate for Planet Sigma 9.
