Former Home Secretary James Cleverly has accused Sir Keir Starmer of wrongly taking credit for a significant 50 per cent reduction in immigration numbers, claiming the drop is due to Conservative policies that the Labour leader previously opposed.Speaking to GB News, Cleverly said the decrease in migration figures was primarily the result of visa rule changes he implemented while serving as Home Secretary under Rishi Sunak's Government.FULL STORY HERE.

00:00Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage to the enemies of Great Britain. Let's play that clip now.
00:06Against it, Russia, China, Iran. And surprisingly, the leader of the opposition and Nigel Farage
00:16are in that column alongside Russia, China and Iran, rather than the column that has the UK and
00:23its allies in it. James Clovey, a lot of people think of that as an astonishingly shabby way
00:28to attack Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage. What do you make of that?
00:34It really is below him. Now, obviously, Kemi is a colleague and friend. I know Nigel well.
00:42We disagree on many things. But to suggest that he somehow and that we are on the side of Putin
00:52or Beijing is really quite disgusting, bearing in mind that the legal precedent that he is claiming
01:00that he has to follow, and he says, oh, we have to do this because of legal pressure, which is nonsense.
01:08But the judge that gave that opinion, the deputy judge that gave that opinion at the International
01:14Court of Justice was a Chinese judge. The Russians have voted at the UN to say the UK should give up
01:23sovereignty to Mauritius. These are the things that we are opposing. So to suggest that Kemi,
01:31that my party, that Nigel are somehow siding with our competitors and enemies is really,
01:39really deeply inappropriate. And it seems that Keir Starmer's got a bit of a habit. Whenever he's
01:47under pressure, whenever he's struggling to justify his actions, whether it's stripping winter fuel
01:53payments off of pensioners or giving away UK sovereign territory, he turns into this rather nasty,
02:01vindictive character who, whether he was rude to Liz Savile Roberts in the chamber or making
02:09these baseless accusations at the press conference, it's a really bad trade. And he does it when he
02:14knows he's on the wrong side of the argument. So your viewers should watch out, because when he
02:18behaves like that, it's because he knows he's in the wrong. Okay, James Clavey, thank you very, very much for
