00:00Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

00:02The fact is Nigel Farage is copying our homework.

00:05We put out a deportation bill in May.

00:08The stuff that actually works in what he said has come from there.

00:11But the truth is, he is not doing the thinking we are.

00:15And just like we've seen with the Labour governments,

00:17who didn't do their thinking in opposition,

00:19there'll be a disaster in government,

00:20and in particular, a disaster on the economy.

00:23He says he wants to leave the EHCR.

00:25You haven't decided that yet.

00:26Well, you will know that in May, we got an eminent KC

00:30to review a lot of the treaties which are impacting us

00:33deporting people who should not be in our country.

00:36And I have said that we will announce at our conference

00:38exactly what we're going to do and how.

00:41Saying you're going to leave the EHCR is not a plan.

00:43It's going to have a lot of impact on things like the Good Friday Agreement.

00:47It's going to impact on so many other laws.

00:49How do we make sure that if we have to do this,

00:51we do it in a way that doesn't destabilise our country or our economy?

00:55Only the Conservatives are working on that sort of plan.
