00:00I think the Prime Minister's credibility on this issue is in complete tatters.
00:03He promised to smash the gangs.
00:04He has completely failed to do that.
00:0630,000 crossings, illegal channel crossings since the election,
00:10up by 31%.
00:12And this year so far, 2025, has been the worst year on record.
00:16Keir Starmer has no credibility on this issue.
00:18He was told we needed a deterrent.
00:21The National Crime Agency told him that.
00:22Yet he scrapped the Rwanda scheme before it even started.
00:26And these are the results.
00:27Of course we support international law enforcement,
00:30but that on its own isn't enough.
00:32And Keir Starmer's appalling failure on these illegal channel crossings
00:36shows that to be the case.
00:38Well, in 2023, we started to get the channel crossings down.
00:41They went down by a third.
00:42But Labour has thrown away that progress
00:44by scrapping the Rwanda deterrent before it even started.
00:48And they have delivered record numbers this year,
00:50the highest year ever, the worst year ever for channel crossings.
00:53I think Keir Starmer's complete failure on immigration,
00:56he's lost control of our borders,
00:58will cause him massive political problems.
01:00People that supported Labour will go and support someone else,
01:03I hope the Conservatives,
01:04because we have got a plan to take action on this.
01:07But Keir Starmer's pledge to smash the gangs is in complete tatters.
01:11He has lost control of our borders.
01:12And we had the ludicrous sight yesterday
01:14of the Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper,
01:16blaming the weather for her own failings.
01:18That was a pathetic and lamentable excuse.
01:21And the public are going to be extremely angry
01:24to hear the Home Secretary using that kind of excuse.
