Windrush - Commons clash over landing cards

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Theresa May has said the decision to destroy the landing cards of Windrush immigrants was taken under Labour. Jeremy Corbyn accused her government of being "callous and incompetent". But should the Home secretary take the blame? We hear from a former head of the Border agency. The government has suffered an emphatic defeat in the House of Lords over membership of a customs union after Brexit. Will it embolden Tory Brexit mutineers? We talk to one of them. And could Brexit make the Commonwealth Britain's new choice of global trading partner? (Photo: Newly arrived West Indian immigrants in Southampton in England. Credit: Getty Images).
