00:00Hamza, how would you respond to those points that Matthew's made?

00:02Well, great to see that Matt's two inspirations are Victor Orban, an authoritarian figure in Europe,

00:08and Israel, of course, the government that's headed by a man that's wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes.

00:14Those are the inspirations that we should be taking.

00:18Let's just look at the facts here.

00:20We have both an ageing population and a declining birth rate.

00:24If you do not have migration coming to this country, nobody is going to look after Matt when he's an old man.

00:30Nobody's going to look after my children when they are old.

00:34And Matt talks about not wanting low-skilled migration.

00:37He terms social care as low-skilled.

00:39I'll tell you, it's not low-skilled.

00:40I've been into many care homes, in fact, in my constituency where I am speaking to you today.

00:46So if we don't bring in people to help take care of our elderly, who on earth is going to do it?

00:52So absolutely grow our own.

00:54Where we can create a pipeline of young people to go into professions, whether it's social career, whether it's the NHS, the private sector, yes.

01:02But we have a declining birth rate and an ageing population.

01:06Even if you've got every single person in the United Kingdom into work, you're going to have unbelievable amount of shortages.

01:14Not just in what Matt terms as high-skilled jobs, but also what traditionally has been termed, I think incorrectly, as low-skilled jobs.
