00:00To date, so far this year, 10,000 young undocumented males have illegally crossed the English Channel into our country.
00:09A 40% increase on this time last year. Many coming from cultures that are somewhat alien to ours.
00:16They are being housed at a cost of many billions of pounds a year in hotels and increasingly in private rented homes.
00:23The effect on communities is one of a sense of deep unfairness actually bordering on resentment.
00:29In court alone, there are 750 of these young men.
00:35Is it not time to admit that smash the gangs was nothing more than an election slogan and not a policy?
00:45And isn't it time to declare a national emergency and to act according way?
00:51Prime Minister.
00:52Mr Speaker, we are passing a borders bill with extensive powers to smash the gangs.
00:58There are terrorist-like powers that give powers to the police to intercept where they think the suspects are committing people smuggling, which is a vile trade.
01:06We must take back control of our borders after the last government lost control.
01:10But what did he and his party do? Did they support those extra measures to actually smash the gangs?
01:15No, they went in the lobby with this lot in their new coalition to vote against them.
01:20And let's be clear what a vote for his party means.
01:22It means a vote to charge for the NHS.
01:25It means a pro-Putin foreign policy and a vote against workers' rights.
01:29And now we hear, Mr Speaker, he's recruited Liz Truss as his new top adviser.
01:34And we recall as he was cheering on the mini-budget.
01:37Thank you very much.
