Do energy companies need to stop forcing people onto prepay meters?

British Gas is back putting customers on prepayment meters, after a scandal that saw vulnerable people left without power.

Should energy firms be allowed to force you to pay upfront?

Is immigration too low or too high?

The Prime Minister has said it's too difficult to say, and that it depends on the economy.

This comes as the Home Secretary has scrapped plans to make some migrants wait 15 years for settlement.

But what do you think?

Is it okay to put Christmas trees up in November?

Millions of Brits will put their Christmas tree up this week.

We'll speak to one woman who put her two trees up before Halloween!

And we'll show some of your November Christmas trees too.

Would you like to see booze banned at airports?

Over 70% of airport staff have been abused by passengers, with cabin crew blaming 95% of incidents on drunk flyers.

Should people be banned from drinking before their flights?

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

"26 years of working in the industry, and I've seen people working for the same amount of time."

"Where's your evidence?"

📞 Adam challenges @linmeitalks' claim that migrants will leave the care sector when granted leave to remain.

Are parents are to blame for yob kids?

Merseyside Police has urged parents to have a better grasp on what their kids are up to, after large groups of yobs were seen fighting and throwing glass bottles.

Should parents take responsibility?

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

"It's about how we value people..."

"It's not just about how much tax they pay."

@bonsuman says caller Sarah makes a great point about how the care profession is portrayed by politicians and the media.

@linmeitalks | @theJeremyVine | #JeremyVine

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

"You can come to this country and pay taxes of 20% to fund welfare..."

"Then you're not entitled to that welfare."

"That is unfair and farcical."

📞 Lee from finance alleges that xenophobia fuels attitudes to migration.

@linmeitalks | @theJeremyVine | #JeremyVine

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

"When we look at indefinite leave to remain, that means you'll be able to have access to all of our public funds..."

@linmeitalks says immigration exemptions for care workers don't account for foreign workers leaving the industry.

Are killjoy councils ruining the country?

One has removed an 89-year-old's bench, claiming it was a magnet for anti-social behaviour...

Have you got a similar story?

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

Are Labour too soft on immigration?

The Home Secretary has watered down plans to let migrants settle.

Foreign care workers will be eligible to stay after 5 years, while small boat arrivals will have to wait 20 to 30 years.

What do you think of this?

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

💬 "We've got generations of families who've actually never worked because it's easier to be on benefits."

💬 "What's your evidence for that?"

📞 Lorraine is challenged to back up her claims about migration and welfare expenditure.

@cladoon72 | @Mattallwright | #MattAllwright

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

"I've seen staff racially abused while they are supporting people."

"This is the attitude that we're facing every day."

📞 Adam says the care system would collapse without the dedication of the foreign workers who deserve better treatment.

@Mattallwright | #MattAllwright

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

"We are losing the plot as to why we wear a poppy and what it represents."

📞 Margaret says it's wrong to alter the poppy in any fashion, like the Pride or Palestine iterations, but it's fine to wear the badges of different organisations alongside.

#StormandAlexis

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

Is it right for the government to relax rules for migrants?

The Home Secretary had proposed a wait of up to 15 years to qualify for permanent residency.

Now she's expected to U-turn on that idea.

Would you like to see stricter immigration rules?

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

"I'm not sure why you're isolating that particular community..."

@adepstein1 responds to caller Craig, who argues that the poppy has always been political, as evidenced by faith-based approaches to remembrance.

#StormandAlexis

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

"It's a disgrace."

📞 Amanda, who served in the army, says it is wrong to attach any flag to the poppy, let alone the LGBT flag, because remembrance isn't about that.

#StormandAlexis

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

"When we look at disability benefits, we know that the rate of fraud is less than 1%."

"I don't think it is easy to get benefits."

@ShaniDhanda responds to caller Jean, who says she stopped being a benefits advisor because she felt she was aiding and abetting.

#StormandAlexis

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

"Everyone thinks I have ADHD!"

📞 Keith says right-wing propaganda about benefits is leading to genuine claimants like him being stereotyped and vilified by the public.
