Why Is The Government Looking To Denmark For Immigration Inspiration?
The Danish system is seen as one of the toughest in Europe.
ċToday, the ĢƵ announced that ĢƵ Secretary Shabana Mahmood is to unveil a major shake-up of the immigration and asylum system modelled on the Danish system, which is seen as one of the toughest in Europe.

ċPolitical correspondent Iain Watson joins Laura and Adam in the studio to tell them about his trip to Denmark where he’s been speaking to the people responsible for, and affected by, those reforms.

ċAlso, Laura has interviewed the mother who is taking legal action against the company behind a chat bot which, she says, encouraged her 14 year old son to take his own life.
