Phil and Nick are back by popular demand to present politics in a way that is palatable to all.In our second episode, Phil explains why immigration has skyrocketed in the UK post Brexit- despite all the pre-referendum promises- and why the government has quietly made it easier for workers from the rest of the world to fill the void left by the lack of EU citizens. We explore the idea that the British public support EU migrants working in the NHS, care homes, and in seasonal work, but these are the very people that Brexit has slammed the door on and ask the question- if the UK public had Freedom of Movement explained properly to them, would we want it back?Hopefully the way Phil breaks down the detail makes things clearer than a sunny, dry January day...
