Ben Kentish and Robert Bates from the Centre for Migration Control get into a heated debate over the Conservatives’ controversial new policy pledge. The party has said that foreign nationals would lose their right to social housing in the UK under a Conservative government, claiming that around 230,000 homes would become available as a result. Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Helen Whately said that ‘making Britain your home should be earned by working, paying tax and integrating. It should not come with a free ride on the benefits system. Britain cannot be a cash machine for the world.’ A Labour Party spokesperson said: ‘No amount of headline-chasing, or following Reform to the extremes, can hide the damage the Tories did to our housing system.’ Listen to the full show on the all-new LBC App: https://app.af.lbc.co.uk/btnc/thenewlbcapp #BenKentish #uknews #immigration #housing #LBC LBC is the home of live debate around news and current affairs in the UK.
