LBC’s Shelagh Fogarty had a hilariously scathing description of Chris Philp’s hot take on Labour’s immigration policy

Perhaps he’s a secret Labour supporter.
Every time he opens his mouth he helps the Labour Party. What a muppet.

As a bonus, watch how he had his arse handed to him by BBC Breakfast’s Sally Nugent when he weighed in on the state of England’s prisons.
Chris Philp is told on BBC Breakfast that the prison crisis is entirely of the Conservatives’ own making.
