00:00We will announce what we're doing on the ECHR. I have said that if we cannot control our borders

00:04without leaving, then we should leave, but we need a clear argument and a clear plan

00:08understanding the consequences. But do I believe what Labour is saying? Not really. I remember

00:13when Shabana Mahmood was signing letters saying we shouldn't deport foreign criminals. She actually

00:17signed those letters. They voted against all of the measures which we were trying to bring in

00:22to bring down immigration. They promised to smash the gangs. No gangs have been smashed.

00:27They cancelled our Rwanda deterrence plan without something in place. Now we've seen crossings

00:31go up by an extra thousand. So I'm not really convinced that their heart is in this. I don't

00:38believe that a Labour Party that believes in open borders and thinks controlling borders

00:42is racist is going to do anything at all about migration. And so far, I've been proved right.
