like a lifetime ago now. in a sense can be have to be very cautious about you promising to the about you promising to solve the migrant crisis, don't you? let's face it, there are four of your predecessors who said much the same and didn't. you predecessors who said much the same and didn't. ., ., ., , and didn't. you have to be particularly _ and didn't. you have to be particularly careful- and didn't. you have to be particularly careful about i and didn't. you have to be i particularly careful about the and didn't. you have to be - particularly careful about the tens of thousands figure because that was actually a mistake that was made by minister i believe damien greene who was asked how much are you going to limit it by and plucked a number out of thin airwith limit it by and plucked a number out of thin air with no idea of the context of how many people were �* many people it would be coming, how many people it would be desirable to have come. so this number has kind of stuck in people's mines as a target when actually it was a mistake. that's a lesson to ministers not to make up data in live interviews. it has really been the albatross around the neck of the various conservative governments. i think it's really, really important that you separate out two very different issues. how many people do we want coming here? what kinds of

people do we want to? what skills do we want them to have? or be happy to have doctors and nurses coming? or be happy to have fruit pickers coming because my cleaners? social care workers? what countries are we going to get them from and what limits are going to put on those visas? that's all very fair, reasonable questions. that's a separate question from how you deal with illegal migration and asylum—seekers and asylum claims which is what we are seeing with people crossing the channel in the small boats and we absolutely see it as a tragic situation in various migrant processing facilities in kent. what you've got to remember about asylum—seekers and illegal crossings is that there are two main reasons that people do this, one that they are chancing their luck and they think that they might be able to make a serious asylum claim tickets excepted, but the other reason is that they are genuine refugees fleeing all kinds of situations, some of them climate related, geopolitical related and there simply aren't any legal routes for them to claim asylum outside of

the uk. we have closed off all of the uk. we have closed off all of the legal routes, it's illegal for them to try to come here as a tourist and then make an asylum claim once they are here. the claim will be denied. so the only thing they can do is try to get to the country illegally. that is a situation that the british government has engineered and perversely makes it much harder for us to sort out the genuine assigning claims, the fraudulent ones, because we have got everyone coming via these illegal routes, the at the same people trafficking gangs because there are no legal routes. that's going to be a challenge for any government, conservative, labour, immigration, buti any government, conservative, labour, immigration, but i do think it's important that we separate that something from the game. something from the numbers game. damien isn't here to defend himself, so if he to let us know we so if he wants to let us know we will give him that opportunity to explain it, but nonetheless i think it's fair to say that it became whether by accident or not, it became effectively adopted as a sort

of guide and aspiration at least. let's move on to the guardian front page. gavin williamson hasn't escaped the fire just yet. language and attitudes towards civil servants when he was secretary of state for defence for two years, 18 months from november 20 17th until... this comes on another— from november 20 17th until... this comes on another text to change between — comes on another text to change between gavin williamson and the former— between gavin williamson and the former tory chief with wendy morton apparently not being allowed to go to the _ apparently not being allowed to go to the queen's funeral. that doesn't look at _ to the queen's funeral. that doesn't look at comments being investigated i’ilht look at comments being investigated right now _ look at comments being investigated right now. rishi sunak has not been drawn_ right now. rishi sunak has not been drawn on_ right now. rishi sunak has not been drawn on the issue, i guess privately— drawn on the issue, i guess privately he is deeply unhappy with having _ privately he is deeply unhappy with having to _ privately he is deeply unhappy with having to deal with this when he's -ot having to deal with this when he's got some — having to deal with this when he's got some real serious issues to contend — got some real serious issues to contend with. he still got facing williamson at the moment partly
