Mar 15, 2022 | As the government scrabbles its policy together for Ukrainian war refugees fleeing the country from Vladimir Putin's invasion, the Labour peer and refugee campaigner Alf Dubs tells Anoosh Chakelian that the response has been a "disgrace".

On The New Statesman Podcast Alf Dubs and Anoosh Chakelian discuss how the government finds itself on the wrong side of public opinion on the issue of Ukraine war refugees, why Priti Patel is the worst Home Secretary he's worked with, and why he'd like to see a "more robust" approach to welcoming refugees from the Labour leadership.
