Deputy PM Lammy on asylum 'bribe' plan: 'It's a good idea'

Nick Ferrari is joined by David Lammy in the midst of the war in Iran heading into a second week. The Deputy Prime Minister is pressed by Nick on the rescue effort to get British nationals home from affected parts of the Middle East, after the first (and so far only) chartered flight home landed this morning, following a 24 hour delay in its departure from Oman. Lammy also responded to claims that the 'welders are still onboard' HMS Dragon in Portsmouth, delaying its deployment by some weeks. Nick also questioned the Deputy PM on plans by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to send failed asylum seekers on their way with an extra £40,000 in their pockets.
