what we see here with the candidate he is a brexit benefits, that it candidate he is a brexit benefits candidate he is a brexit benefits, that it is able to finesse the details of any trade deal to best suit the uk. but, of course, all of these things take time and they hit these things take time and they hit the start of impasse as we see here. thank you very much for that. before we pick this up, i'm just going to tell you that there is a verdict in the trump case in new york which we are expecting imminently. so we will talk up to vat about trade. but if i interrupt you, forgive me, we do want to go to that life. let's start with the trade deal issue. if it is no to hormone treated beef, doesn't that rule out a deal with the united states? in that rule out a deal with the united states? ., , , , �* ., states? in theory, yes, i'm more concerned — states? in theory, yes, i'm more concerned about _ states? in theory, yes, i'm more concerned about the _ states? in theory, yes, i'm more concerned about the fact - states? in theory, yes, i'm more concerned about the fact that - states? in

the problem how brexit was the problem is how brexit was interpreted the problem is how brexit was inteitheit was inteithe government, because and the government, because brexit, allowed us to brexit, it allowed us to introduce a lower migration on high skilled policy. that's what was promised the conservatives misinterpreted that to give us a low skill mass migration policy. so brexit wasn't the problem, it was how that was interpreted and how our politicians use those powers to deliver the opposite of what they promised. the british people. >> matthew, is it going to get better under a labour government? >> well, i think certainly a labour government will be tackling the problem. it's not going make promises as going to make fake promises as the tories have done. we had tens thousands of net tens of thousands of net migrants theresa migrants promised under theresa may, hundreds of a couple may, then hundreds of a couple of thousand. now of hundred thousand. and now we're at 700,000. we're at the 700,000. >> better >> well, will it get better under labour, though? >> think we'll have a >>

fact buried the conservative party of great britain with his... populist actions, his support for brexitt was, it was, and it makes me very happy, because i think that historical justice should work, that if you lie that if you deceive people, that if you create opportunities for a vote that will lead your country into a dead end, then you should disappear from the political scene yourself, i am very happy with boris johnson's fiasco, i hope he never will not be a politician anymore, we are not in the ukrainian trend now. not in the ukrainian trend, of course, but i'm just glad, and i hope that there will be a punishment for the conservative party of great britain, i am absolutely not interested in the ukrainian trend, i know one thing: if great britain would remain a member of the european union, we would not it was necessary for viktor orban to leave the meeting hall during the vote for ukrainian european integration, you understand that, there was nothing wrong with that, just the vote of britain would have been so much. if now orbán orbán managed to convince giorgi meleni, who cannot

and um, the post—brexit immigration system, which is one of the very few areas where brexit does appearo have boosted growth and to improve the performance of british economy , um, was of british economy, um, was designed precisely for this . it designed precisely for this. it was designed to prioritise higher paid workers , and those higher paid workers, and those skills that we need and by and large, actually the evidence is that it's doing that. and indeed , if you look at the numbers , a , if you look at the numbers, a lot of the people who have come in are either students helping to shore up the university system or they're working in high skilled jobs like it and business services, or they're working in the social care system and while those jobs are relatively low paid and, um, if we're not prepared to pay care workers and indeed nhs workers more than we're we fallen back on immigration because that is the alternative to letting the system collapse entirely . and system collapse entirely. and while i personally don't think that's optimal, i put up care worker salaries. the govern

the benefits of brexit. , it of brexit. and of course, it turned out that boris johnson signed the deal in the protocol in order to get brexit done that annexed northern ireland from the rest of the uk . and of the rest of the uk. and of course, northern ireland's main market is inside the uk. 70% of their goods go to the uk, so they very much wanted to be part of the uk single market. but then they were brought into the eu single market and they had rights to the uk single market and then rishi sunak of course brought in the windsor framework document because he thought he could get the unionists back in to the building behind me and of course he then gave away the foundation of the border in the irish sea to the eu and that legislation then. so whoever owns the foundation of the border, quite basically says what can go on in the border and you can do whatever you want on either side of the border. but whoever owns the border basically says, well, you can go with your goods and it started from there. and th

the party collapsed the power—sharing government nearly two years ago in protest against post—brexitde arrangements. sirjeffrey donaldson says that the measures proposed by the government in london will secure a positive future for northern ireland within the uk. the package of measures in totality does provide a basis for our party to nominate members to the northern ireland executive, thus seeing the restoration of the locally elected institutions. we recognise that significant further advances have been achieved through these negotiations and the details of the new package of measures will be published by the uk government in due course. this package, i believe, safeguards northern ireland's place in the union and will restore our place within the uk internal market. and we're getting some reaction now from northern ireland's main nationalist party, sinn fein leader mary lou mcdonald who says: and also reaction from the northern ireland secretary chris heaton—harris. he says the move "is a welcome and significant step," adding: "i can confirm that we will stick to this agreement."
