Today, news that two prisoners were wrongly freed broke after the Conservatives' James Cartlidge pressed deputy PM David Lammy in the Commons on whether any asylum seekers had been mistakenly released since Hadush Kebatu last month.
Adam and Chris chat to home affairs commentator Danny Shaw on what we know about the release, the individuals involved and the political ramifications.
Then Adam speaks to Sir Charlie Mayfield, lead of the 'Keep Britain Working' review and former Chairman of the John Lewis Partnership to discuss his report into ill-health and employment.
We talk about his plans to get employees, employers and the Government working together to prevent economic inactivity due to people not working for health reasons.
