On the 20th of June 2023 Barry appeared on BBC Politics Live alongside Conservative MP Danny Kruger; Labour MP Barry Gardiner; Liberal Democrats MP Layla Moran and global pollster and communication analyst, Frank Luntz.
Hosted by Jo Coburn the group discussed the Boris Johnson Privileges Committee which was backed by MPs 354 MPs, with only 7 opposing.
After this they discuss Council Housing, where Barry made clear that the Government simply havn’t built enough houses. 1.2 million households are on the waiting list for social housing, but last year less than 8000 new social homes were built.
Home Office has made a U-turn on drug testing at UK festivals. From now on, drug-checking facilities must apply for a special licence, which could take three months to be approved, this therefore means that festivals this year, such as Parklife and Glastonbury won’t be able to have drug-checking facilities. Barry argued that this is “simply a failure of governance”.
