Show Notes

Albania's prime minister recently accused the UK's home secretary of fuelling xenophobic attacks against his people, after Suella Braverman described people crossing the English Channel in small boats as an "invasion".

What do we know about those leaving Albania? What impact is it having on the country's economy? And how should the UK respond?

On the Sky News Daily podcast, Niall Paterson speaks to Sky's Siobhan Robbins, who's travelled to Albania to speak to people there, and Shqiponja Telhaj, an Albanian-born UK academic specialising in the economics of labour and migration.
