3:50 pm
much. why are we rubbish? we're not rubbish . we're excellent . not rubbish. we're excellent. britain is a centre of pop excellence. _ britain is a centre of pop excellence. rrz; ” britain is a centre of pop excellence. liverpool is the, the universal centre of pop music and, and yeah the, the british entry was, was very good . but frankly there were better p0p . but frankly there were better pop songs, you know, it was a very good pop song and the streaming figures show that and the radio plays show that . but i the radio plays show that. but i think it was a really good table of entrants. this year, particularly in that kind of pop area . me personally, the best area. me personally, the best p0p area. me personally, the best pop song of the whole eurovision 23 for me was denmark , and they 23 for me was denmark, and they didn't even get to the final . didn't even get to the final. so, you know, we know it's eurovision. you can't judge it by the actual result . and by the actual result. and everyone did really well. okay. all right . some people have been all right. some people have been saying that they felt as though that the sound was a bit off as mae muller was performing. maybe the show wasn't the most
3:51 pm
the show itself wasn't the most engaging. your views that ? engaging. your views on that? the sound was definitely beewiior— the sound was definitely beewiior ,— the sound was definitely peculiar , um,- the sound was definitely peculiar , um, because they sound peculiar, um, because they sound all peculiar, um, because they sound obi inrowgn— peculiar, um, because they sound all through the— peculiar, um, because they sound all through the evening have been— all through the evening have been excellent,— all through the evening have been excellent, both in the arena and on— been excellent, both in the arena and on the screen . ' 2 arena and on the screen. and i between— arena and on the screen. and i was between two _ arena and on the screen. and i was between two and when may came on it was you wondered whether there was an issue with the microphone because her vocal was so low in the mix, particularly in the verses. so it didn't have that impact . i it didn't have that impact. i think the show was really great. i do think the sound impact on it, it it left it didn't make the same impact as some of the other artists were able to. so something was whether it was may's performance or a technical glitch , we don't know. but yeah, glitch, we don't know. but yeah, it definitely didn't have that pizzazz that you'd want on the night. that is why some people have been saying that the bbc is to blame for our poor performance. where do you stand on that ? blame the bbc for lots on that? blame the bbc for lots of things, but i don't think you can blame them for our performance at eurovision because the bbc and everybody
3:52 pm
involved in eurovision did an outstanding job. it was a fantastic performance right across the board. the show was amazing , the broadcast was amazing, the broadcast was great, the presentation was great. i i don't think britain as a nation , liverpool as as a nation, liverpool as a city, the bbc as an institution in terms of eurovision, they didn't put a foot wrong. it was a brilliant you could argue, you could you could argue though we respect dave, that last year's entrance was absolute entrance was an absolute showstopper. i believe that he was on that show as well. just as a performer, not not an entrance, of course, and brought the down again . so we the house down again. so we managed choose well, there . managed to choose well, there. okay. can't help but wonder okay. i can't help but wonder whether choice whether or not our choice this year just wasn't particularly good.i year just wasn't particularly good. i know you've been good. i know that you've been saying thought was saying that you thought it was great but just great and everything, but i just think to think maybe you're trying to gloss because the vast gloss it a bit because the vast majority it majority of reaction was that it was was thoroughly was it was thoroughly underwhelming best underwhelming. is that the best we've got? our chance we've got? that was our chance to at 160 million viewers to look at 160 million viewers worldwide or whatever. and they think, go. we've had worldwide or whatever. and they thinbeatles go. we've had worldwide or whatever. and they thinbeatles , go. we've had worldwide or whatever. and they thin beatles , we've we've had worldwide or whatever. and they thin beatles , we've had ve had worldwide or whatever. and they thin beatles , we've had oasis, the beatles, we've had oasis, we've had people . and we've had loads of people. and
3:53 pm
his someone who hates his mae muller someone who hates britain the best that we've got , you do. you're dealing , i think you do. you're dealing with orange and pears. yeah, eurovision is a celebration of froth and fun and entertaining . froth and fun and entertaining. it's not about artistry in that sense. you're not talking about the beatles or whatever. um i, i think mark sam was an extraordinary candidate last yean extraordinary candidate last year, did a brilliant job with a great song. um i think, you know, personally , i would say know, personally, i would say subjectively that may was not at that standard. the song was not at that standard. it's a very catchy hook , but there were catchy hook, but there were better and catchier hooks from other nations . obviously, the other nations. obviously, the way it was chosen this year, it was delegated to our management company who did a brilliant job last year doing that , that that last year doing that, that that piece of work . and yeah, things piece of work. and yeah, things just didn't work out. where was where was the show stopping half time show or whatever it is, you know, we were expecting rumours of mccartney, weren't we? of paul mccartney, weren't we? we thought that that might be
3:54 pm
great. mean, john, great. i mean, elton john, i believe, tour somewhere at believe, is on tour somewhere at the and instead we had the minute. and instead we had some who showed up some elderly woman who showed up at one of the earlier eurovisions. i mean, it's hardly inspiring stuff, is it? it was fun . i mean, you're judging it fun. i mean, you're judging it by the way, paul mccartney and elton john or liam gallagher. they're not rocking up to eurovision. it's eurovision. um, yeah, we might have had somebody better doing that . there are better doing that. there are great things. i mean, i'll tell you, sandie shaw's been doing a few shows here in liverpool dunng few shows here in liverpool during she's amazing. during last week. she's amazing. i mean, what an amazing woman we had at lipa. we had sonia had here at lipa. we had sonia come and do a show last saturday afternoon here in the university, and sonia is still rocking. so there are many things that could have been better there. but overall, it's always the same. after eurovision, people get their cynical head on and you go do you know what? all i saw was a city that was buzzing, a country that was really focussed on it, a continent that felt really united. and it was a genuinely a load of fun. and i'm a serious

4:14 pm
back door. this is essentially, you know , a shameless attempt to you know, a shameless attempt to not only try and secure what he would believe would be some sort of left wing progressive government, something that should us, be should terrify all of us, to be perfectly frank, also way should terrify all of us, to be petrying frank, also way should terrify all of us, to be petrying totnk, also way should terrify all of us, to be petrying to long also way should terrify all of us, to be petrying to long term so way should terrify all of us, to be petrying to long term rejoin ay of trying to long term rejoin the and the european union and the british it for what british public see it for what it i'm just gobsmacked it is. and i'm just gobsmacked that starmer thinks that that keir starmer thinks that this is something he's going to sell trent, sell in stoke on trent, especially one of his especially when one of his parliamentary candidates was begging. to begging. he said in a tweet to london and the south to save him from despite being from brexit. despite being in a brexit united brexit capital of the united kingdom, i wait call kingdom, i can't wait to call out jonathan is out the hypocrisy. jonathan is there a concern for what something this might mean something like this might mean for the conservative party though? of with , though? a lot of people with, i'm say proper i'm going to say proper conservative values are maybe already quite concerned about the direction of travel in the conservative party . and if we conservative party. and if we had a system whereby eu nationals could vote on 16 year olds were able to vote, the tories would probably have to start pandering those people tories would probably have to start fandering those people tories would probably have to start fand that those people tories would probably have to start fand that would se people tories would probably have to start fand that would mean ple tories would probably have to start fand that would mean ,le tories would probably have to start fand that would mean , i more. and that would mean, i suspect, tory party suspect, a softer tory party well, look, i think the conservative party is on the
4:15 pm
right track. let's not forget this illegal migration bill is extremely tough legislation , extremely tough legislation, something that no other government brave enough government has been brave enough to before and rishi sunak and to do before and rishi sunak and suella deserve full suella braverman deserve full credit for doing that. and this is, course, a government as is, of course, a government as well that's working tirelessly to halve inflation, grow the economy, debt and cut nhs economy, reduce debt and cut nhs waiting lists, as as waiting lists, as well as stopping the boats and i think therefore understand therefore that we understand that priorities as that people's priorities and as you say, the party you say, it's the labour party that pander to woke that wants to pander to the woke nonsense peddled too nonsense that sadly peddled too often in our education system and as well as obviously undermining the very british values proud values that we're proud to adhere conservative adhere to on the conservative benches. we why shouldn't someone who has lived here for 10 or 20 years and has paid tax here and maybe started a family here, why shouldn't they be able to vote in our general elections just because they happen to be, say, spanish or french? well, as you from tom earlier, you heard from tom earlier, patrick, they . can oh, i think patrick, they. can oh, i think we've just lost jonathan. we'll go back to jonathan, though, in a matter of moments. i'm sure we will resurrect him , won't we? will resurrect him, won't we? but there we go. of person but there we go. lots of person
4:16 pm
in aren't there in questions here, aren't there really ? and is an interesting really? and it is an interesting point from to mention really? and it is an interesting poin when to mention really? and it is an interesting poin when we to mention really? and it is an interesting poin when we do to mention really? and it is an interesting poin when we do thinko mention really? and it is an interesting poin when we do think ofnention that when we do think of coalition wins lot of the coalition wins a lot of the time, easy, isn't to time, it's easy, isn't it, to think them being the kind of think of them being the kind of rainbow coalitions from left wing that is wing progressive parties that is not always case. as tom not always the case. as tom said, of course, the said, 2015, of course, the majority of the there majority of the votes. there were that lent to were two parties that lent to the right, and i think that is something that's worth noting. i can't help but wonder whether or not would change game, not this would change the game, though. had that kind though. so if we had that kind of post combination keir of post and combination of keir starmer labour victory at the next election, which next general election, which then implemented eu votes for eu nationals and then implemented votes year olds and then votes for 16 year olds and then dare as well, dare i say it as well, implemented something like proportional representation. i suspect add a suspect that would add a bit more and a more heft more weight and a bit more heft to the idea that there would be a left wing coalition non—stop. another jonathan another thing that john jonathan wallace was talking about earlier i can bring him earlier on and i can bring him back thank back up now, jonathan, thank you very to have you on. very much. great to have you on. sorry that. okay. why sorry about that. okay. so why shouldn't spain shouldn't someone from spain who's here for 20 years who's lived here for 20 years vote in elections? come on. vote in our elections? come on. see here, patrick, as tom harwood outlined to you earlier
4:17 pm
on, and no one should be afraid to do that. feel free to do that. the ability to do that. enjoy the ability to do that. enjoy the ability to do that. obviously you'll then that. and obviously you'll then have democratic right have that full democratic right to but let's not to have a say. but let's not forget british citizen forget that no british citizen can have a say in a general election in other european election in any other european country. couldn't even country. you couldn't even do that you're a member of the that when you're a member of the european union. so why should we suddenly, newfound european union. so why should we suddenly, as newfound european union. so why should we suddenly, as you newfound european union. so why should we suddenly, as you saidvfound european union. so why should we suddenly, as you said earlier, freedoms, as you said earlier, having on brexit in having delivered on brexit in the 20 in 2019 after the general election, why should suddenly election, why should we suddenly extend when no extend the franchise to when no one else in mainland europe is doing for british doing the same for british citizens? it's absurd. no citizens? it's just absurd. no one else europe would accept one else in europe would accept this own nation we this in their own nation and we shouldn't either. you've been pretty there, jonathan, pretty clear there, jonathan, haven't the that haven't you, about the idea that you think that if people vote for the next for keir starmer at the next general election, they will just find themselves on a highway back membership back to eu membership and something like this will be used in order to for us to do away with brexit have some kind with brexit and have some kind of is of second referendum. is that right ? absolutely. what they'll right? absolutely. what they'll do is use this as a back door to brussels. they'll obviously keep open .in brussels. they'll obviously keep open . in essence. we've open borders. in essence. we've already epithetic
4:18 pm
already seen that with epithetic attempted plan, so—called plan on stopping boats, essentially just bringing more people over processed and quicker and keep them longer . processed and quicker and keep them longer. and obviously processed and quicker and keep thewell, longer. and obviously processed and quicker and keep thewell, you'lljer . and obviously processed and quicker and keep thewell, you'll obviouslyibviously processed and quicker and keep thewell, you'll obviously haveisly as well, you'll obviously have the challenge, which is the other challenge, which is a labour party just doesn't labour party that just doesn't have spending plans that are have any spending plans that are costed £90 billion, uncosted funding plans to date , as well funding plans to date, as well as obviously attacking the very fabnc as obviously attacking the very fabric of our society. those cultural values , the fact that cultural values, the fact that labour leaders don't even understand and understand what a woman is and the fact woman doesn't the fact that a woman doesn't have penis is terrified thing have a penis is terrified thing in so let's in the 21st century. so let's let's real about this let's be real about this. this labour dangerous. labour party is dangerous. it's just a new face different just got a new face different from that jeremy corbyn, from the one that jeremy corbyn, but old socialists from the one that jeremy corbyn, but running old socialists from the one that jeremy corbyn, but running it.ld socialists from the one that jeremy corbyn, but running it. jonathan;ts from the one that jeremy corbyn, but running it. jonathan just still running it. jonathan just told me a little bit about something you were alluding to there, british there, which is about british culture and these absolutely staggering predicted net migration a migration figures of up to a million. and just the million. and that's just the legal that's just the legal stuff. that's just the people we know are here for people who we know are here for a start. then you know, a start. and then you know, you've like you've got people like suella braverman stand up and braverman having to stand up and make out of saying it's make a point out of saying it's not racist to basically be absolutely terrified of your local area changing irreversi
4:19 pm
ghibli forever and rapid demographic change. and it is absolutely sea rapid. why, in your view do is it not racist to have concerns about about your area becoming massively culturally different and dare i say it as well, maybe, maybe racially different? i mean, just tell me why you don't think that's racist, george brandis was very clear when he spoke to the nationality and borders act pubuc the nationality and borders act public bill committee that the australian people wouldn't have had that they would australian people wouldn't have had had that they would australian people wouldn't have had had to that they would australian people wouldn't have had had to see that they would australian people wouldn't have had had to see legal: they would australian people wouldn't have had had to see legal migrationld have had to see legal migration if it wasn't for the fact that they had control of their borders. and that's why stopping their boats when it came to australia was so important because to because it enabled people to have the confidence to understand are going understand that people are going to to our country and to come to our country and obviously role and we obviously play a big role and we need our health care, need people on our health care, our social care sector. we want the talent from around the our social care sector. we want the to talent from around the our social care sector. we want the to come from around the our social care sector. we want the to come herei around the our social care sector. we want the to come here to 'ound the our social care sector. we want the to come here to thed the our social care sector. we want the to come here to the united world to come here to the united kingdom the job kingdom and create the job opportunities come it. opportunities that come with it. but figures but net migration figures are nearly adding top nearly a million, adding on top of million we already nearly a million, adding on top of is, million we already nearly a million, adding on top of is, of million we already nearly a million, adding on top of is, of course,ion we already nearly a million, adding on top of is, of course, nothing lready nearly a million, adding on top of is, of course, nothing to ady nearly a million, adding on top of is, of course, nothing to be' had is, of course, nothing to be concerned because it will concerned about because it will
4:20 pm
feel a lack of control of our borders influence borders. it will influence obviously quickly obviously very quickly demographics certain parts demographics of certain parts of society will people society and will make people rightly concerned. that's rightly concerned. but that's nothing say that we can't nothing to say that we can't tackle with. obviously the points based immigration system is can is something that we can obviously amend and as obviously amend and change as we go and hopefully with go through and hopefully with that well on illegal that cap as well on illegal migration or those asylum seekers sorry, who are going to come this country, then we come to this country, then we can make sure we can obviously make sure that we have our have much more control of our borders. people like borders. why don't people like you and suella braverman and jacob just split off jacob rees—mogg just split off from start your from the tory party? start your own party and you know, i don't know you could call it. know what you could call it. i mean, i suppose, you know, the national party or national conservative party or something , you i something like that, you know, i mean, seem to have mean, you all seem to have similar and similar values. and unfortunately, jonathan, it does appear though the appear as though whilst the government moment is government at the moment is saying, oh, we are promising to bnng saying, oh, we are promising to bring migration down, bring net migration down, i mean, million bring net migration down, i mean, a million bring net migration down, i mean, a year million bring net migration down, i mean, a year. million bring net migration down, i mean, a year. well,nillion bring net migration down, i mean, a year. well, patrick, people a year. well, patrick, i'm a proud conservative party member , have been since the age member, have been since the age of 18 years old. i tragically signed up on my birthday as if i was some premier league footballer first footballer signing their first professional contract. so i
4:21 pm
accept and accept the nerdiness and embarrassment may embarrassment that that may cause conservative cause me. but this conservative party, indeed a broad party, yes, is indeed a broad church. it is a force for good. the reason we've been in government longer government for so much longer than political than any other political party in to be perfectly in history to be perfectly frank, is because understand frank, is because we understand the culture, but the values, the culture, but we also fiscal also understand about fiscal responsibility and delivering on that electoral and that electoral mandate. and i will be a conservative will forever be a conservative and proud to be so. all right. look jonathan, thank you very much. to chat. much. always great to chat. jonathan gillis is a conservative mp. now, when i look around , i think at the look around, i think at the local elections before tens of thousands people for thousands of people voted for the democrats, largely the liberal democrats, largely in because they in some areas because they blocked planning permission in their area. so they didn't their local area. so they didn't want area to change want their local area to change irreversibly housing. irreversibly through housing. loads of people are against hs2 for very similar reason, for for a very similar reason, for example. why it socially example. so why is it socially acceptable to be against rapid, irreversible change in your local area for things like housing planning and hs2? but it's not socially acceptable to say i don't want the demographics of my area and the culture of my area to change irreversi albie this quickly because i just can't help but
4:22 pm
wonder when we keep seeing figures like net migration predicted to hit 1 million figures like net migration predicted to hit1 million mark predicted to hit 1 million mark thatis predicted to hit 1 million mark that is going to have an impact on your area and is it not worth being able to have a conversation about what we have to preserve in this country as our culture and whether or not it's worth selling that down the river to look 0.0, nought 1% better on a national spreadsheet when it comes to gdp. is it that much better for our economy to have migration have mass migration on that scale? feel wealthier scale? do you feel wealthier right as a result of it right now as a result of it continuing to rise year on year? i suspect not moving on. the uk has spent billions of pounds supporting ukraine in its war with russia, but is it time? is it time to stop spending money and trying to find a and start trying to find a peaceful solution or is that completely non—starter ? putin completely a non—starter? putin won't stop. he'll rampage through europe and we have a moral duty to all of those poor people died in people who've already died in the keep giving them the conflict to keep giving them weapons on that weapons. a big chat on that very, very patrick very, very shortly. patrick christys news, britain's christys on gb news, britain's

president zelenskyy arriving in. and in a tweet as he landed was describing rishi as his friends, rishi and returned described president zelenskyy as a churchill esque figure in terms of what they talked about. it is about extra military hardware. we know the uk supplied these long—range missiles, which in fact the russians have managed to shoot one out of the air today. so they claim them and also some drones as well. and what's interesting about that, it goes further than we've seen other countries go the sense other countries go in the sense that it's not purely defensive as this is an attempt, these weapons, to try and cut off russian supply lines , if you russian supply lines, if you like. so it's kind of almost an offensive was much offensive weapon. there was much talk about the of jets talk about jets, the use of jets that ukraine's been asking for. these jets for months and months and months and months. what we got is what we've heard got today is what we've heard really minister really from the prime minister before prepared before is that they're prepared to pilots in jets, but to train pilots in jets, but they're not going to supply them as of plans to do so, as of yet. no plans to do so, not least of all, because the

jets that seem to be potentially on table supply some on the table for supply at some later are f—16s, which are later date are f—16s, which are made the united states. so made by the united states. so you've got this weird situation where british where rishi sunak, the british government offered to government have offered up to train pilots jets . we don't train pilots in jets. we don't actually have . and the jets we actually have. and the jets we said we would never give them anyway. bannau yeah, that is weird. — anyway. bannau yeah, that is weird. ire— anyway. bannau yeah, that is weird. ir-e o— anyway. bannau yeah, that is weird. it's a bit— 2) bannau yeah, that is weird. it's a bit strange to be roie— weird. it's a bit strange to be fair,-crucially,- weird. it's a bit strange to be fair, crucially, we're fair, but but crucially, we're eenoiniy— fair, but but crucially, we're certainly it certainly not wavering when it eonee-bno— certainly not wavering when it comes and mentioned comes to it. and you mentioned ibere—obowi- comes to it. and you mentioned there—about the- there a little bit about the reioiion— there a little bit about the relation zelenskyy there a little bit about the- relation -zelenskyy and relation between zelenskyy and swnob— relation between zelenskyy and swnob o— relation between zelenskyy and sunak, a churchill esque zeienebyy— sunak, a churchill esque zelenskyy was- sunak, a churchill esque zelenskyy was called it is a lot of zelenskyy was called it is a lot or money— zelenskyy was called it is a lot or money inor— zelenskyy was called it is a lot of money that we're giving, ien-r— of money that we're giving, ien-i ire— of money that we're giving, ien-i ire b— of money that we're giving, isn't it? a lot— of money that we're giving, isn't it? a lot of— of money that we're giving, isn't it? a lot of rhiannon 64. 6 isn't it? a lot of rhiannon 64. e biiiion— isn't it? a lot of rhiannon 64. e biiiion eo— isn't it? a lot of rhiannon 64. 6 billion so far— isn't it? a lot of rhiannon 64. 6 billion so far ,— isn't it? a lot of rhiannon 64. 6 billion so far , which is the 6 billion so far, which is the eeeono— 6 billion so far, which is the second highest,— 6 billion so far, which is the second highest, as you've rigbriy— second highest, as you've rightly pointed— second highest, as you've rightly pointed out. �*" rightly pointed out. if the union— rightly pointed out. if the united states,— rightly pointed out. if the united states, which thinks give 30 billion, you know, there 30 billion, you know, and there are discussions as there are discussions here as there are discussions here as there are and there have been in sweden actually in germany, about sustained all about just how sustained all this i mean, this a war this is. i mean, this is a war that began eight, nine years ago. obviously became a real proper widespread conflict late last year. but britain's been offering and training for the
4:29 pm
last 2 or 3 years, actually maybe a little longer than that. and as you hear from some politicians saying at some point pubuc politicians saying at some point public opinion might dwindle in support of ukraine, they'll have to say there's no sense that's happened thus far. but also given the fact that defence forces this country are forces in this country are being pared back. so for so long, is there anything left in the cupboard? will it get a point cupboard? will it get to a point where physically actually where we physically actually don't really have that much to offer is going offer if this conflict is going to on and on? and as i to go on and on and on? and as i say, that's the question countries going to countries are going to face potentially the to potentially in the years to come. the that come. but at the moment that there is resolution all around . there is resolution all around. prime going to go to prime minister is going to go to iceland summit, where prime minister is going to go to icelandsummit, where ukraine europe summit, where ukraine is going agenda. going to be on the agenda. president zelenskyy going president zelenskyy is going to dial then he's to dial in and then he's going to japan g7. brilliant, japan at the g7. brilliant, borren— japan at the g7. brilliant, darren, thank— japan at the g7. brilliant, darren, thank you,- ci�* brilliant, darren, thank you, darren wecobrey— darren, thank you, darren. mccaffrey- political mccaffrey there, our political correspondent— mccaffrey there, our political correspondent okay. i'm correspondent right. okay. i'm ioineo—eeniorl joined now by former senior niiiiory— joined now by former senior military intelligence officer ibiiib— military intelligence officer pbilip--_ military intelligence officer philip-. philip,- military intelligence officer philip . philip, great to philip ingram. philip, great to bowe— philip ingram. philip, great to booe-ine— philip ingram. philip, great to have-the show- philip ingram. philip, great to have-the show .- philip ingram. philip, great to have the show . thank you have you on the show. thank you very,— have you on the show. thank you very, very— have you on the show. thank you very, very nweb— have you on the show. thank you very, very much. what would you say very, very much. what would you eoy-wbo— very, very much. what would you eoy-wbo oe— very, very much. what would youi say -who are-saying say to people who are now saying , boob— say to people who are now saying , boob-ewbbon— say to people who are now saying , look, support ukraine and , look, we support ukraine and we beer— , look, we support ukraine and we feel terrible— , look, we support ukraine and

standing ovation. there will be plenty of watchers, i'm sure, at home who think that. well, yes, you say months ago you did say this six months ago when made home when you were made home secretary. and yet the 2023 migration figures are expected in the next few weeks. and we think what we're going to see is net migration up from between 700,000 and 1 million overall net migration this year, up from 404,000 last year, which was previously the record . and so is previously the record. and so is suella braverman putting her money where her mouth is. what was quite interesting about the speech, although she didn't really say anything new, was the timing of it. rishi sunak is now under more pressure than he has been for the last 6 or 7 months. immediately as he was elected, people in the conservative party on all sides felt that he had to be given a chance for the sake of party unity. but that unity is now beginning to fracture mainly as a result of the dreadful tory local election results of weeks ago. dreadful tory local election reswe. of weeks ago. dreadful tory local election reswe saw of weeks ago. dreadful tory local election reswe saw miriam weeks ago. dreadful tory local election reswe saw miriam catess ago. so we saw miriam cates criticising jeremy hunt's budget . she's a rising star in the

4:45 pm
creation, i must add. actually, we've give the prime we've got to give the prime minister a bit credit. minister quite a bit of credit. i think, for what he's doing. an illegal migration, and got illegal migration, and i've got every that every reason to believe that he'll my he'll share many of my sympathies of sympathies on the question of legal clearly now legal migration. but clearly now we've to have these stats we've got to have these stats published soon. i think it's published soon. and i think it's important government important that the government respond accordingly and listen to public. you know, to a british public. you know, a vast majority us recognise vast majority of us recognise the benefits of managed migration . we manage, we see the migration. we manage, we see the benefits of that. but having net migration scale , the migration of that scale, the level is simply too level of change is simply too much for a country for social and consequences it. and cultural consequences of it. i think are far too significant . we've got to respond accordingly. on those social and cultural consequences . is it cultural consequences. is it bigoted or racing to- (4.44. 4:4 is it bigoted or racing to not {444 4:4 is it bigoted or racing to not want nniio— bigoted or racing to not want white british _ bigoted or racing to not want white british to— bigoted or racing to not want white british to be a minority in onion— white british to be a minority in nniioin ny— white british to be a minority in britain by 2050 .7 in britain by 2050.7 to be honest.— in britain by 2050.7 to be honest. in— in britain by 2050.7 to be honest, to be— in britain by 2050.7 to be honest, to be perfectly honest with you, i'm i'm not really focussed on the colour of people's skin. i think that is that isn't of relevance here. what is of relevance is having shared values and having a shared values and having a shared national culture that is what is of relevance and

actually, yes, i think a managed sustainable levels of immigration can enrich that culture. they can add to it. and we've seen in history how we've benefited _ and we've seen in history how we've benefited from that. but wnen— we've benefited from that. but when you— we've benefited from that. but when you goi— we've benefited from that. but when you get net— we've benefited from that. but when you get net migration at the levels we're seeing at the moment, incredibly moment, i think it's incredibly difficult to integrate in a way which works for the country. but so ultimately, you know, i'm not focussed on the colour of people's skin , but what i am people's skin, but what i am focussed on is having a net migration at a level which our pubuc migration at a level which our public with. public services can cope with. but seen , you know, but we've seen, you know, particularly through eu free movement that the negative impact has often had on communities. we've seen town centres often destroyed because, because as a consequence of it and we've had people moving to the country who don't speak our language, who don't really have much of a desire of making a positive contribution . we saw positive contribution. we saw a lot eu freedom lot of that through eu freedom of clearly with of movement. clearly with our points that's points based system, that's an improvement. but the numbers still numbers still matter. the numbers still matter . and a lot of still matter. the numbers still matter. and a lot of us matter. and i think a lot of us are looking that address. are looking to see that address. just quickly, tom,
