UK: Immigration woes, Cop27 u-turn, Hancock's TV troubles

From Nine To Noon, 9:45 am on 3 November 2022

UK correspondent Matt Dathan joins Kathryn to talk about some new troubles for new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

He's clashed with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer over the asylum system after it was swamped by soaring numbers, faced criticism for reappointing Suella Braverman as home secretary six days after she was forced to quit over a security breach and copped flak for his U-turn on whether he will attend the Cop27 climate change meeting in Egypt.

And former Health Secretary Matt Hancock who resigned under a cloud is kicked out of the Tory party for appearing on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.
