Why does Ulf Kristersson want to put Sweden Democrats in charge of immigration?

Why does Ulf Kristersson want to put Sweden Democrats in charge of immigration?

This week we ask whether the new deal between Ulf Kristersson and Jimmie Åkesson is a capitulation or a masterstroke by the prime minister. And what a Sweden Democrat migration minister might mean.

We look at what it's really like inside one of Sweden’s deportation centres – and why being articulate might lead to you getting forced onto a deportation flight earlier than you’d like.

And we examine how high-skilled workers are reacting to the newest migration laws.

In exclusive material for Membership+ subscribers we discuss whether the Swedish culture of shielding kids from competition is progressive or constraining.

Host James Savage is joined this week by panelists Mandy Pipher and Richard Orange.
