00:00Well, I think we've timed this press conference rather well, given that at 9.30 this morning
00:04we got the latest immigration figures, which are horrendous. Horrendous if you want to
00:12get a GP appointment. Horrendous if you want to travel around Britain's motorways. Horrendous
00:19if you want your kids or grandkids to ever get a foot onto the housing ladder. Horrendous
00:25in terms of producing very disjointed societies and communities. And the message is pretty
00:32clear. Three quarters of a million in the last year. And don't believe the lies and
00:39spin that it's a 20% reduction from the year before. It isn't. The year before's figures
00:45have been raised now in two instalments by 230,000. So let's get it into our heads in
00:532023, under a Conservative government, nearly one million net people came into our country.
01:03This after manifestos in 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019, promising in the first three they'd
01:11reduce the numbers to tens of thousands a year, and in the last one a substantial reduction.
01:17I have had enough of being lied to by the Conservative Party. I don't believe they'll
01:22be forgiven at any point in the next few years for what they have done. Of course with
01:28Labour it's even worse. And I don't think smashing the gangs is going to work. It's
01:34perhaps worth just mentioning briefly that the asylum bill, we've had those figures this
01:40morning, that has gone up by 36% in one year to 5.38 billion. And that doesn't even include
01:49the daily cost of what is happening in the English Channel with drones, with border
01:54force and with the massive processing centre at Manston.
