00:00Every time Labour negotiates, Britain loses. It's always at a huge cost. We saw it with Chagos,

00:05millions and millions of pounds for a piece of turf we already had control of. We saw it with

00:10the US deal, which is costing hundreds of jobs in my part of the world, actually, because he signed

00:13over tariffs on, well, signed over the abolition of tariffs on bioethanol, real consequences in

00:18costs. We've seen it with the previous, I mean, he's just agreed with France that one in 17 people

00:25will be returned. 16 and 17 are going to be allowed to stay. So we'll wait for the details

00:30of whatever he agrees. I'm not confident that what happens will be. I mean, record numbers

00:35of people coming to the country. There are more people arriving illegally in this country

00:37this year than ever before. The numbers are up 57%. There are more people, more refugees

00:44staying in hotels now in communities across Britain than ever before, 28%. And of those

00:49people arriving illegally, even less of them are being removed than ever before. I'd rather

00:54see whatever the deal is, but everything we've seen so far stinks. This is a guy who voted

00:59against every measure brought forward to toughen up our asylum system. This Prime Minister campaigned

01:05against the deportation of foreign criminals. I don't think he's got Britain's best interests

01:10at heart when it comes to immigration.
