after deputy prime minister angela rayner confirmed local elections in nine council areas will be postponed until 2026. that's as part of reforms of local government. >> while leader of reform uk nigel farage had this to say. >> there is no justification for cancelling these elections whatsoever other than sheer cowardice of what reform might do to them in those campaigns. >> all right. former adviser to bofis >> all right. former adviser to boris johnson oscar redrup joins us now. good morning oscar. good morning guys. first policy from kemi badenoch version of the tories. however some would say it's not about the policy, it's just about regaining trust. so does any of this matter, especially being out in the wilderness for so long? well. >> i think it was actually robert jenrick if you think back, you know, 4000 million years ago when they were having the leadership contest, he made the leadership contest, he made the very, very salient and valid point that unless the tories can get together a half decent, credible policy agenda on immigration, nobody in this country will take them

seriously, particularly because the conservatives record and i don't obviously, i say this with a heavy heart on immigration. illegal immigration was not the best, shall we put it that way in the kindest terms? >> 1.2 million in that in the kindest terms? >>1.2 million in that boris wave. >> i can i can reform it didn't go to plan. so take i think from a conservative perspective, you know, take your time on this. if you get your immigration proposals wrong in the coming years, up until the next election, you will be viewed by, you know, most hard working, a kind of armchair political fans, people who don't, you know, watch political programmes every day. they don't watch pmqs, but they know the effects of illegal immigration in their communities. and if we don't, i say we if the conservative party don't nail it for those people, they will have no credibility. i think this is a first, first kind of foray into regaining that trust. and we talk about, you know, conservatives needing to neutralise the impact of

reform. i don't think the conservative party should think about it on those terms. they should just think about what is the best, credible, workable policy. >> but being cynical about the timing here, oscar, we have this poll out this week that had the tories slipping down the polls to third place, reform top, labour second, tories third. is it now? and because of that poll that kemi badenoch decided to come out and talk tough on on migration? >> i mean, look, she is talking tough on it. i would say that that there's a difference between and actually this is to your point, this is a trap the conservatives probably fell into where all they did was talk tough. the talking actually isn't that tough on this. it's in some ways it's quite it's quite dry kind of detailed policy on doubling the time for indefinite leave to remain what we would deem skilled in this country. if you've claimed benefits, you know, social housing, just raising that threshold. so it's not talking too tough. i think this is actually decent, workable,

practical policy in all fairness. and there's probably people watching this now going, why isn't this already, you know, why doesn't this already exist? why do we why, you know, the idea that you can't have a criminal record if you've had a criminal record if you've had a criminal record, you can't come to this country. yeah, there were a lot of people going. well, isn't that already. why isn't that already a law? i mean, isn't that. >> it is almost everywhere. i mean, look at australia. i mean, you have to have a certain amount of money. no criminal background, same as the united states. it just seems 1551
