peterborough. iieii- peterborough. well we're here tonight peterborough.— well we're here tonight live neieiienngn.— well we're here tonight live in ieieiieiengn— well we're here tonight live in peterborough now in political iens— peterborough now in political terms, peterborough is fascinating— terms, peterborough is fascinating . cizi terms, peterborough is fascinating. cizi f terms, peterborough is fascinating . ci::i 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

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

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 ,

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 sieeien — yesterday. keir starmer mr sieeien ii— yesterday. keir starmer mr speaker, if anyone- 35; keir starmer mr speaker, if anyone wants to see wini— speaker, if anyone wants to see what uncontrolled _ speaker, if anyone wants to see what uncontrolled immigration ieeis— what uncontrolled immigration ieeis nie— what uncontrolled immigration looks like, all— what uncontrolled immigration looks like, all they've got to do looks like, all they've got to ie is— looks like, all they've got to ie is nake— looks like, all they've got to ie is wake up— looks like, all they've got to do is wake up tomorrow morning. iisien— do is wake up tomorrow morning. iisien ie— do is wake up tomorrow morning. iisien ie ine— do is wake up tomorrow morning. listen to the headlines and see wini— listen to the headlines and see nnei inis— listen to the headlines and see what this government. order! oiien — what this government. order! oiien iii— 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 ei ine— 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 cennnnes— of the chamber of the house of commons yesterday was the member of commons yesterday was the member ei innieneni— commons yesterday was the member of parliament for— commons yesterday was the member of parliament for peterborough. inni— of parliament for peterborough. ieni iisien:— of parliament for peterborough. paul bristow, and— of parliament for peterborough. paul bristow, and he joins me

of people in on relatively low paid jobs, the minimum wage becomes the maximum wage for everybody else. and we have seen those wage compressions in the building industry and elsewhere. third, quick point, if i may. if you allow people who've come illegally to work double the number will come next year illegally , parts of america have illegally, parts of america have given these amnesties to people who've come illegally, and it's led to millions more coming out. your thoughts? yes i echo that. no , no, no. it would be the most no, no, no. it would be the most ieeiisn— no, no, no. it would be the most ieeiisn ining— no, no, no. it would be the most foolish thing, frankly, to do to encourage people to come here, iesaase— encourage people to come here, iesaase in— encourage people to come here, iesaase in ine— encourage people to come here, because in the end— encourage people to come here, because in the end , you get here because in the end, you get here ani— because in the end, you get here ani yea— because in the end, you get here ani yea san— because in the end, you get here and you can work— because in the end, you get here and you can work here and you win— and you can work here and you wiii earn— and you can work here and you wiii a— and you can work here and you will earn a bit— and you can work here and you will earn a bit of— and you can work here and you will earn a bit of money and you win— will earn a bit of money and you wiii seriainiy— will earn a bit of money and you will certainly be— will earn a bit of money and you will certainly be earning a greai— will certainly be earning a greai ieai— will certainly be earning a great deal more money than you are great deal more money than you earning— great deal more money than you earning ai— great deal more money than you are earning at home. yeah, it wiii— are earning at home. yeah, it wiii iasi— are earning at home. yeah, it will just drive— are earning at home. yeah, it will just drive a— are earning at home. yeah, it will just drive a coach and neses— will just drive a coach and horses through— will just drive a coach and horses through whatever semblance— horses through whatever semblance of- horses through whatever semblance of control we still nave. — semblance of control we still nave. ereai— semblance of control we still have. c izsz 2 c. z“ semblance of control we still have. cizsz semblance of control we still- have. great question. thank you. i've got time for 1 or 2 more gentlemen here with his hand up,

actually owe the government money, which is a bizarre situation. so people are iiieraiiy— situation. so people are literally people - “ so people are literally people that own rental ereeenies— literally people that own rental ereeenies are— literally people that own rental properties are mortgages, seiiing— properties are mortgages, selling them— properties are mortgages, selling them ,_ properties are mortgages, selling them , getting out of the selling them, getting out of the make.— selling them, getting out of the nariei. se— selling them, getting out of the market. so the— selling them, getting out of the market. so the supply of rental ereeenies— market. so the supply of rental ereeenies is— market. so the supply of rental properties is contracting . at properties is contracting. at ine— properties is contracting. at ine sane— properties is contracting. at the same time,— properties is contracting. at the same time, there are more ani— the same time, there are more ani ee— the same time, there are more ani eeeeie— the same time, there are more and more people coming into the seaniry— and more people coming into the seaniry wne— and more people coming into the country who need— and more people coming into the country who need to rent. c country who need to rent. it's pianneiing— country who need to rent. it's piwnneiing. ii— country who need to rent. it's plummeting. if plummeting , if we plummeting. if plummeting, if we put property on the market now put a property on the market now , one of those houses, little three bed houses on average, if we leave it there for ten days, we leave it there for ten days, we will get north of 150 inquiries and we might get around half of those that convert into an application. so we often put them on for two days. we end up with, i don't know, net 20 applications, something like that. so there is a severe shortage. it's that it's all of the extra red tape, it's all of the extra red tape, it's the red relations. does the gewernneni— it's the red relations. does the government understand - c izzi2 does the government understand what iney-re— government understand what iney-re ieing— government understand what they're doing here? /zzc. they're doing here? you know, inin— they're doing here? you know, inis is— they're doing here? you know, this is what i keep wondering. this was george osborne , 2015 this was george osborne, 2015 aeeareniiy— this was george osborne, 2015 aeeareniiy was— this was george osborne, 2015 apparently was someone in the ireasary— apparently was someone in the ireasary wne— apparently was someone in the treasury who who _ apparently was someone in the treasury who who dreamt this seri— treasury who who dreamt this seri ei— treasury who who dreamt this
