7:05 pm
peterborough. wou- peterborough. well we're here tonight peterborough.— well we're here tonight live nororiorougn.— well we're here tonight live in rororiorougn— well we're here tonight live in peterborough now in political reins— peterborough now in political terms, peterborough is fascinating— terms, peterborough is fascinating . crir terms, peterborough is fascinating. crir f terms, peterborough is fascinating . cirir f terms, peterborough is- fascinating . go back to about fascinating. go back to about 1970 and you'll see it's labour , tory, labour, tory, labour, tory. and that's been the case for the last few elections too. it is currently held by paul bristow, a conservative member of parliament. but it's one of those seats, whichever way peterborough goes, it's likely that's the way the country will go too. and i have to tell you, when we chose this date of may the 25th, we had absolutely no idea that the government migration figures for last year were going to be out. but they do say in life that you make your luck . this city is your own luck. this city is growing more quickly than any other in the country. and so when it comes to population pressure , pressure on housing pressure, pressure on housing pressure, pressure on housing pressure on health pressure on school places , as i think people school places, as i think people in peterborough know, a fair bit
7:06 pm
about this already. in peterborough know, a fair bit about this already . and that is about this already. and that is why these numbers that have come out today are such a shock. yes of course, the number 10 spinners were briefing . it could spinners were briefing. it could be as high as a million so that when it comes in at just over 600,000, we're supposed to say it's not too bad, is it.7 remind ourselves that from windrush at the end of the 40s to the end of a century, arnie net migration was normally about 30,000 a yeah was normally about 30,000 a year. it's spun out of control under tony blair and labour, but then we had david cameron in 2010 promising us net migration of tens of thousands a year. he promised the same in 2015, when theresa may said she'd cut the numbers in 2017 and david and bofis numbers in 2017 and david and boris johnson in 2019 talked about an australian style points system which we all took to mean it would be very tough to get in. you'd have to bring your own health insurance with you. and the whole idea was to control immigration. the whole idea was to control immigration . well, with these immigration. well, with these numbers today , since the
7:07 pm
numbers today, since the conservatives took power net migration into britain is over. 3.5 million, 3.5 million. our population has risen by 8 million since 2001, and 85% of thatis million since 2001, and 85% of that is directly down to immigration. nobody on gb news or anywhere else is not saying that vast numbers of people that have come have been great people and actually wanted to work. unlike the 4 million british people who are being paid unemployment benefit and don't seem to want to work . but we seem to want to work. but we cannot sustain a population rising as rapidly as this. it's simply doesn't work. i don't even believe there's now an economic benefit to this either . so i think what we're seeing , . so i think what we're seeing, frankly, from the tories and from labour is a great immigration lie. they tell us at elections is what they want us to hear. but they never actually really arnie mean it now ,
7:08 pm
really arnie mean it now, talking of making your own luck, there's one member of parliament who's become rather well known in the last 24 hours. this is what happened in the house of commons just after midday yesterday. keir commons just after midday yesterday . keir starmer mr yesterday. keir starmer mr spoowon — yesterday. keir starmer mr spoowon ir— yesterday. keir starmer mr speaker, if anyone- 35; keir starmer mr speaker, if anyone wants to see wnor— speaker, if anyone wants to see what uncontrolled _ speaker, if anyone wants to see what uncontrolled immigration iooks— what uncontrolled immigration ioows rins— what uncontrolled immigration looks like, all— what uncontrolled immigration looks like, all they've got to do is— looks like, all they've got to do is wows— looks like, all they've got to do is woke up— looks like, all they've got to do is wake up tomorrow morning. iisron— do is wake up tomorrow morning. iisron ro— do is wake up tomorrow morning. iisron ro ino— do is wake up tomorrow morning. listen to the headlines and see wnor— listen to the headlines and see wnor inis— listen to the headlines and see what this government. order! onion — what this government. order! onion irr— what this government. order! order! mr bristow,- what this government. order! order! mr bristow, i- what this government. order! order! mr bristow, i think you're going to be leaving . order! mr bristow, i think you're going to be leaving. i'm asking you to leave now, because otherwise i'll name you . i'm not otherwise i'll name you. i'm not having it. and i've warned you before. it's the same people . before. it's the same people. all and the same will happen on this side . all and the same will happen on this side. keir all and the same will happen on this side . keir starmer mr this side. keir starmer mr speaken this side. keir starmer mr speaker, the reason they're issuing so many visas is labour. well, the mp that was booted out of well, the mp that was booted out or ino— well, the mp that was booted out of the chamber— well, the mp that was booted out of the chamber of— well, the mp that was booted out of the chamber of the house of oornrnons— of the chamber of the house of commons yesterday was the member of commons yesterday was the member or roriiononr— commons yesterday was the member of parliament for— commons yesterday was the member of parliament for peterborough. inur— of parliament for peterborough. roui orisrow,— of parliament for peterborough. paul bristow, and— of parliament for peterborough. paul bristow, and he joins me
