we've heard from richard holden who says, once again sir keir starmer shows he's only interested in short—termng long—term decisions in the national interest and crucially one of the things the government has been saying about some of your plans is that they don't cost, they don't add up that they don't cost, they don't add up financially and that you haven't got the money to do all of this. all got the money to do all of this. all of our got the money to do all of this. fill of our plans are fully costed and fully funded. we will use the money the government has allocated to the feeling rwanda scheme in order to set up the task force to tackle the criminal gangs but lets look at their record, because they have said many of these things. they have been in government for the last 13 years and in those 30 years, the number of prosecutions of criminal gangs who are trafficking people has fallen 30%. the number of asylum seekers returned to their home countries has fallen 50% so their record is one of failure and actually, when it comes to the things that matter, the numbers are going in the wrong

it's very, very clear from interview i carried out earlier today for gb news with richard holden, the the so—called five families grouping of right wing tories to not vote against the government, but simply vote to abstain . and that simply vote to abstain. and that means that when it hits, it gets to report stage probably next month. back in the house of commons behind me, they will offer amendments as they will offer up amendments as they will see it, to strengthen the bill. or the problem the pm's got is if accept those amendments if they accept those amendments to the bill, then to strengthen the bill, then it's going be then, then the it's going to be then, then the left party, one, the left of the party, the one, the one caucus, won't accept one nation caucus, won't accept it. highly risky , highly it. it is highly risky, highly dangerous. big ben chiming behind me at 7 pm. that means that votes are happening that the votes are happening now. we'll see three votes. the big result we expecting on gb news at 7:30 pm. stay tuned . news at 7:30 pm. stay tuned. and a very good evenin
