Immigration is gearing up to be front and centre of next year's elections.

The public's concern about the pressure on public services is fuelling the rise of UKIP, taking support away from all of the mainstream parties. 聽All this week we are going to be looking at immigration and its impact. We start on Monday with the story of an illegal migrant who made a three month journey to the UK from Eritrea. Matthew Price is Today programme鈥檚 chief correspondent.

One of the great constitutional tensions of our time comes to a head again in both houses of parliament today, as MPs and Lords debate amendments to the Criminal Justice and Courts Bill which are aimed at changing some aspects of judicial review. Judicial review is the process by which ordinary people and organisations can apply to the courts to challenge the lawfulness of decisions of public bodies. The government says it鈥檚 being abused by campaign groups for publicity, but the legal establishment and Labour are lined up against it, with Lord Woolf describing the risk of limiting judicial review as creating an 鈥渁n elective dictatorship鈥�. We speak to Lord Woolf on Monday.

Government accouchements on health spending and roads are designed to pep up the Chancellor's Autumn Statement this week, in which he'll argue that he's keeping his promises on investment in public projects.

After the by-election victory and gains in the polls by the UK Independent Party last month, the costs and benefits of Britain being in the European Union are once again being hotly debated. Yet one familiar rationale for membership is that in the 21st century only a bloc as large as the EU can deal with rising powers like China. We sent our China Editor Carrie Gracie to Brussels to examine how well the relationship is working.
