<p>Ever feel like politics could be different? Join comedian&nbsp;<strong>Gráinne Maguire</strong>&nbsp;and journalist&nbsp;<strong>Marie Le Conte</strong>&nbsp;as they work out how we can all get more involved. This isn't just a podcast, it's&nbsp;<strong>Changing Politics</strong>.</p><br><p>This week, Marie and Gráinne look at one particular case: <strong>Hilary Ineomo-Marcus</strong>, a man who came to the UK when he was ten, over twenty years ago. Following a conviction for tax fraud, he served fifteen months in prison, making him eligible for deportation under Home Office guidelines, despite having a British wife, two British children, and having visited the country he is being deported to just once since coming to the UK. A product of the British education system, the British workforce, British society and the British rehabilitation system, Hilary's story is an example of a punitive and inhumane migration system. Offering additional insight are Tottenham MP <strong>David Lammy</strong> and <strong>Luke Butterly</strong> from <strong>Right to Remain</strong>, a human rights organisation.</p><br><p>The week's news roundup looks at the exciting and in-no-way pointless Brexit debates between Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn; Gerard Batten's survival as leader of Ukip, and a down-on-his-luck arsehole; and Marie explains the riots in France in terms we can all understand.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
