00:00So, Sir Keir Starmer's going up to launch, well, this is spin from number 10,

00:04but we'll tell you what they're saying, because, I mean, I could sniff spin a mile off.

00:08I could see the end of that census coming, I thought. He's not going to say this, is he?

00:11No. So, he wants us to think he's going to launch a crackdown on immigration.

00:14He's been there since July. Why hasn't he done it already?

00:16Well, plans include tougher rules to stop foreign students accessing long-term visas

00:22by working in low-paid jobs, for example, as care workers and shop assistants.

00:27Well, the Tories did that.

00:28And the Home Office has also launched a recruitment drive, which will see landlords given.

00:33This bit makes me want to pull out my own eyelashes.

00:37A recruitment drive, which sees landlords given a five-year guaranteed full rent deal at your taxpayer's expense.

00:44So, that is an acknowledgement by the government,

00:47that the small boats are going to continue crossing the channel for five years.

00:50Isn't that mission of failure?

00:51So, a five-year deal. That is astonishing.

00:55And it could be, though, that these migrants are moving into this five-year deal in homes near you.

01:01So, that's right. We're showing you the list on the screen now.

01:04And one private contractor, Serco, has said that 120 local authorities are going to be impacted.

01:14They include Sodyhole, South Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Telford, Wire Forest, Allenside, Carlisle, Bury.

01:23So many of them are in the north-west of England, actually.

01:25Liverpool, Ribble Valley, West Lancashire, Wire.

01:30And on and on.

01:31And particularly...

01:32A lot of them in the north of England.

01:33So, that's 120 areas where, potentially, thousands of these illegal migrants are going to be housed on five-year contracts,

01:40which means it's going to take five years to process their applications.

01:44Because one of the other things he used to say about this was,

01:45if you process their applications quickly, you can get rid of them.

01:48Well, they're now saying it's going to take five years.

01:50There's no will, is there?

01:52They don't want to get rid of them.

01:53Predominantly young men, we don't know what criminal records they have back in their home countries.

01:58We don't know what trauma they bring here from what they've seen.

02:02And I'm not saying that we shouldn't offer some accommodation to a limited number of genuine asylum seekers.

02:09But let's remember who this sort of immigration impacts.

02:12It impacts the poor.

02:14It impacts the lowest socioeconomic group of people in this country.

02:17It doesn't impact those in Westminster who go to their country houses at the weekend.

02:21Let's talk to migration expert Dr. Mike.
