Who Broke Britain 4: Stop the boats
Manage episode 426986064 series 3319208
The UK election is being held today and polls indicate the Conservative Party will lose in a landslide.
One of the key policies the government is running on is a version of Australia's offshore immigration detention policy, which was launched by prime minister John Howard in the lead-up to the 2001 election.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's two year fight over this policy has not only been a colossal failure, it will likely drag the Tories down with it.
So as the UK decides on their next Prime Minister, we're asking, who really broke Britain?
