00:00Since Labour came to office, the number is up by 51%. It's not a little bit, it's up by a huge number.

00:06It's entirely unsustainable. Those people are a huge burden to the taxpayer. All these hotels

00:13being spread out across the country has a huge impact on communities, groups of huge groups of

00:18loan men hanging around town centres, hospitality businesses suffering because tourists are no

00:23longer allowed to get into these towns. The only way to solve this problem is by removing people

00:28who enter illegally. We had legislation in place. That's what needs to happen. The reality is that

00:34this government is going completely the wrong way. They sent a message to the world when they told

00:38people that if you arrive here illegally, you could now become a British citizen. But it's no surprise

00:43because in opposition, Keir Starmer voted against every single measure designed to toughen up our

00:48immigration system. And he's also the guy who campaigned against the deportation of foreign

00:53criminals. Devastating news for this country.
