00:00This could be the start of something new.

00:02Here's why I think this is a great idea.

00:04The politicians think it's a great idea.

00:06And in the real world, it's a dead duck.

00:08First of all, it would do nothing to address net migration.

00:11It's one in, one out.

00:12We don't need any more in.

00:13That's legal migration.

00:14We need plenty more out.

00:15We need plenty more out.

00:16Secondly, how many illegal immigrants come to go from Dover to Calais?

00:21I'll tell you how many.

00:22Zero.

00:22And this won't get rid of the pressure on public services.

00:50If you have family members in the UK, you might be able to stay.

00:54Again, you go through all the process of getting a passport.

00:56And again, the details haven't been worked out.

00:59But what is fascinating is we have now got finally France and the UK

01:02talking about a returns deal.

01:04That didn't happen for eight years, Martin, since Brexit.

01:07Let's go.

01:07That's it.

01:07That is it.

01:08That's it.
