00:02Well, you shut up!

00:22If this takes forever, you won't get in.

00:24Nigel Fransch!

00:26The main reason this country wisely

00:32and that included millions

00:34of Labour supporters,

00:36is because we wanted to take back

00:38control of our borders

00:40so that we and we alone could decide

00:42who comes and settles

00:44in our country.

00:46Does the Prime Minister understand

00:48that that demand today is even greater than it was

00:50back in 2016,

00:56that you say to the French President...

00:58Well, you shut up!

01:32His proposal for ten years,

01:34wagging the Tory dog,

01:36has been to break everything

01:38and claim that is how you fix things,

01:40to stick two fingers up at your neighbours

01:42and then expect them to work with us.

01:44He votes against the Borders Bill,

01:46which gives more powers to our law enforcement

01:48to deal with security at our borders.

01:50Mr Speaker, the reason for that is

01:52that he has no interest in fixing the problem,

01:54because he wants to milk it and exploit it.

01:56That is the truth about him and his party.
