00:00I'm pleased to announce today a new security agreement between Iraq and the UK.
00:05This is a world first that will help us smash the people smuggling gangs and secure our borders.
00:13The Home Secretary has been out in Iraq to seal this deal and we've also announced funding
00:20for Iraqi law enforcement to tackle this problem upstream, way before it reaches our shores.
00:28We're also tackling the utter mess we inherited in the Home Office.
00:33Asylum returns up 53% in the last 12 months compared with the previous year.
00:40Total returns up 34% in the last year and we will keep on going because this is the work of change
00:49and alongside the NHS and the economy securing our borders is the issue that matters to working
00:56people.
