Is this the "immigration election"?

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

It's one of the biggest battlegrounds of the election campaign - what the parties will do about immigration. We visit what in 2016 was the UK's most enthusiastic Brexit-backing constituency to find out why this is such a signficant concern for many voters - and we have live discussion on the political offer with two business leaders. Also tonight: Nigel Farage has told the BBC the EU and Nato “provoked” Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. We get reaction from a former head of Nato. After a Chief Constable is sacked for lying about his career and achievements - has the quality of our police chiefs declined? And France's football star Kylian Mbappe has worn a custom-fit mask at the Euros after breaking his nose. One of the leading designers of bespoke masks shows me how they work.
