00:00Well, once again, reform are shooting from the hip.
00:02They've got a good slogan, but there's no credibility or detail behind it.
00:06They can't, for example, answer the question what they would do
00:10if the French won't receive the illegal immigrants back.
00:13They're also not having any plan to properly fund the armed forces to do this.
00:17Only the Conservatives have a proper plan to do that.
00:20Look, we Conservatives have a credible, thought-out plan to end Channel Crossings.
00:24That is to leave the ECHR that would enable us to deport all illegal immigrants
00:29within a week of arrival, and the deterrent effect means pretty quickly those crossings would stop.
