A the bairns o Adam

As Lee Anderson tells asylum seekers to "F###k off back to France", if they don't like living on a barge, and Sunak claims the opposition are mounting an attack on motorists we examine the developing culture war narratives the Tories will spin at the next General Election.Grant Shapps on BBC Radio 4's World at One trotted out the line that the UK is leading the world on transition to Net Zero. Lesley looks at the reality behind the claim.As the first asylum seekers take up occupation on the Bibby Stockholm ,barge and the Home Office issues threats to those refusing to board we try and go behind the media headlines and show why the asylum system is so broken and the sheer brass neck of the Tory attempts to deflect attention away from its failings and the fact they've been in charge of it for 13 years.Along the way we talk, politicians at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, loch swimming, and appearing on the Jeremy Vine Show.Lesley continues her Thrive tour.
