Is the Danish immigration model right for the UK?

Mon, 17 Nov 2025

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced a radical overhaul of the UK's immigration system, by copying a model that has been seemingly successful in Denmark. 

That, of course, depends on how you define "successful". Although asylum claims are down, many feel the country's tough approach raises moral and legal questions. 

Labour hopes Denmark's tried and tested method will help it win over anti-immigration voters here, but what about the social and economic consequences? Is the Danish model right for the UK? 

Gareth Barlow is joined by Michelle Pace, a professor in global studies at the Department of Social Sciences and Business at Roskilde University in Denmark.

Why does BBC board’s Robbie Gibb keep getting criticised?

Fri, 14 Nov 2025

Who is Sir Robbie Gibb and is he the most influential figure at the BBC? 

In a week marred by controversy, the organisation has seen the departure of two senior figures and has made an apology to the US president over an edited clip of a speech to his followers on 6 January.  

There are rumours that the BBC's director general and chief executive were brought down as part of an "inside job" centred around one man – Sir Robbie – a non-executive director at the BBC. 

However, a friend of Sir Robbie has hit back at such suggestions, describing them to Deadline as "absolute nonsense". 

In this episode, Niall is joined by Jake Kanter, the international investigations editor at Deadline to discuss Mr Gibb’s role at the BBC and why it is seen as controversial.

Is the NHS in good health under Wes Streeting?

Thu, 13 Nov 2025

A tricky week for Wes Streeting was eased ever so slightly by the news NHS waiting lists have shrunk – if not by much. 

But the health secretary will still be nursing his bruises a day after having to deny he was plotting to oust the prime minister.  

If he really is in the waiting room hoping to enter Number 10 it would help if his NHS record was given a positive diagnosis. 

Mr Streeting talks a good game – so what’s the true state of the NHS under his leadership? 

Niall is joined by former NHS Trust chairman Roy Lilley and health correspondent Ashish Joshi.
