00:00 The Tories have left the asylum system in total chaos.
00:02 We're setting out plans to save the taxpayer over £2 billion,
00:07 with more than 1,000 additional caseworkers
00:10 to clear the backlog and decisions,
00:12 and also a new returns unit with over 1,000 new staff
00:16 to make sure that we can fast-track decisions
00:18 for safe countries and returns.
00:21 We've got to end the costly hotel use,
00:23 but also the costly barges, RAF Scampton,
00:26 the home of the Danbusters.
00:28 Let's get back to a properly controlled
00:30 and managed asylum system instead.
00:32 Well, we set out proposals for a new security partnership
00:37 with -- involving Europol, other European police forces.
00:41 We believe that that is not just in the UK's interest,
00:45 but in the interests of countries across Europe,
00:48 and is a way to smash the criminal gang networks
00:51 alongside having stronger powers here in the UK
00:54 to deal with the smugglers.
00:56 Convictions of people smugglers is down by a third.
00:59 At a time when you've got this serious problem,
01:01 we have to go after the criminal gangs.
