Does anyone ever say, you know what, youve done a good job because everyone else is sat on their and done nothing . No no signs of that, no. Signs of that, no. Well, ms keegan has since apologised for her use of that language. Language. Well, it wasnt really talked about. Anyone in particular. It was off the cuff remark after for the news interview had finished, or apparently after it had finished. And id like to apologise for my choice language that was unnecessary , but it was that was unnecessary, but it was an off the cuff remark. An off the cuff remark. Basically, based on the interview. The interview had interview. The interview had been pressing me quite hard why ihadnt been pressing me quite hard why i hadnt solved this issue, which had been going on since 1994. The Prime Minister has also been under fire. Hes attempted to bat away accusations regarding his role in the crisis while he was chancellor. Rishi sunak saying its wrong to suggest that hes to blame for failing to fully fund a programme to rebuild englands schools when he was chancellor here. Of course, i know the timing is frustrating, but i want to give people a sense of the scale of what were grappling with here. There are around 22,000 schools in england and the important thing to know is we expect that 95 of those schools wont impacted by this. Wont be impacted by this. Around 50 schools have already been mitigated. Another 100 are in the process of being so and our expectation is, is in a matter of weeks, the bulk of the remaining schools that will have this issue will be identified as well.

Another grisly record put in british lives and livelihoods under threat. Under threat. But its become so commonplace , the mainstream commonplace, the mainstream media, the political establishment , media, the political establishment, and most shamefully, the apparent conservative government well, they just shrug their shoulders. Itsjust they just shrug their shoulders. Its just too hard. I cant. Its just too hard. I cant and i wont ignore the invasion of our southern border, which should have been declared a National Emergency with our navy engaged. National emergency with our navy engaged. As i have been calling engaged. As i have been calling for on this show since 2020. A horrifying influx of 872 Illegal Migrants arrived in 15 separate dinghies on saturday alone, exploiting the good weather, which is expected to last all week. Those enormous rubber vessels we now learn are being specially manufactured for the wicked people smugglers by crooked businesses as in china and turkey, designed to carry up to 70 migrants to enhance the economies of scale for the traffickers as and while the media might feel squeamish about covering our unsecured border, despite the human and financial costs, stack up, the cost to the conservative party could be sized quick if immediate action is not taken for our minister, sir john hayes, the close ally sirjohn hayes, the close ally to home secretary Suella Braverman and chairman of the partys powerful commons sense group, has issued a fine warning to rishi sunak today via the daily express, saying that the issue of uncontrolled immigration is becoming more consequential to voters than even the cost of living crisis as illegal immigration in the small boats really are now the make or break issue for this party at the next election. Whenever i am approached by constituents and members of the public, the issue of immigration is asked much more than is asked about much more than the of living. Thats how the cost of living. Thats how serious and the serious things are. And the Prime Minister to do what he Prime Minister has to do what he said whatever is said and do whatever is necessary or the time is now. Necessary or the time is now. Election planning is ramping up and it feels increased. Only up and it feels increased. Only obvious that sunak is going to try and let the clock run down and fail. On his pledge to stop the boats. Thats not good enough. Were not going to accept it. So tory mps must fight this and insist they will challenge his leadership next month unless he vows to leave the echr and institute a turn back policy. At the very least. Back policy. At the very least. But to respond now, my Superstar Panel , our but to respond now, my Superstar Panel, our top daily express columnist Carole Malone, the journalist and broadcaster Benjamin Butterworth, and the former brexit party mep belinda de lucy and belinda , you agree de lucy and belinda, you agree with john hayes that actually immigration is becoming a bigger issue to voters now than even the cost of living crisis . The cost of living crisis . Yes, i do. yes, i do. I think its deeply disturbing that the only thing the british people can rely on to control the borders of this country is the weather. Because if conservative wanted if the conservative party wanted to boats, they could. To stop the boats, they could. Said, a as you said, announce a National Emergency raise the eligibility of asylum seekers. Eligibility of asylum seekers. They not even leave the they could not even leave the echr. They could suspend parts of it, but they have chosen not to. Chose around with to. Theyve chose to around with the illegal immigration bill. Rwanda and millions off to the french, which have not impacted the numbers. And think its the numbers. And i think its the numbers. And i think its the across europe. The same across europe. Dan, a recent from eurobarometer recent poll from eurobarometer for has said that at 20 out of 27 eu nation states have put immigration as the number top concern, whereas the seven states have put terrorism as their top concern. So this is a european problem. Were fed up of having to pay for our leaders mistakes and inability to put the interests of their citizens first. Carole malone you have lost faith with rishi sunak on this too. You say hes become a parody of himself. What do you mean . Well, in the sense that, you know, he keeps on saying , we know, he keeps on saying, we will stop the boats every week. He says we will stop the boats. Doing absolutely boats. Hes doing absolutely nothing stop boats. There nothing to stop the boats. There is no deterrent for any is no real deterrent for any migrant. Is no real deterrent for any migrant. Theres nothing to stop any migrant in calais from buying and getting on buying a ticket and getting on one boats and getting one of those boats and getting over there are over here. You know, there are two ways he can stop the boats. I think he can either turn them back or he can leave the echr. I dont believe he has the guts of back or he can leave the echr. I don stomachs he has the guts of back or he can leave the echr. I don stomach for has the guts of back or he can leave the echr. I don stomach for either1e guts of back or he can leave the echr. I don stomach for either of guts of back or he can leave the echr. I don stomach for either of thosef the stomach for either of those things. You those 15 things. You know, those 15 dinghies on saturday, dinghies that came on saturday, it like it was like it was like it was like a bahamian ferry service, you know, a ferry service. Know, literally a ferry service. And know, i just read and you know, and i just read today shocking mean, today the shocking i mean, i dont think one thing dont think the one thing i dont think the one thing i dont agree with belinda, though, everything else. The though, everything else. But the thing its thing i dont think its a serious as the cost of living crisis because that affects everyone and the hour. Everyone daily and by the hour. This this affects this doesnt this this affects them. Know them. You know you know gradually over time. However, i do think its true that the tories the next tories will lose the next election unless rishi sorts this out. And far hes doing out. And so far hes doing nothing to sort it out. You know, we read today that that the office are dealing the the home office are dealing the ineffectual office is ineffectual home office is deaung ineffectual home office is dealing 215,000 asylum dealing with 215,000 asylum claims, 41,000 of those have been rejected and they have been told there is no other legal avenue they can go down. And yet we cant even send those people back , even though they have no back, even though they have no legal right to be here. We have decided they have no legal right to be here. And yet rishi doesnt have the means to send them back. Now that is going to infuriate people. It infuriates me that, know, you cant me that, you know, you cant keep repeating this mantra and doing nothing about it because the tories will lose the election and to me, theyre just walking into oblivion. Benjamin isnt it time for rishi sunak to declare a National Emergency and actually show folk that he takes this seriously, potentially , he needs seriously, potentially, he needs to send in the navy. I mean, he doesnt take it seriously that much is evident, right . You know, theyve been hes been trumpeting only a week ago that numbers had ago the fact that numbers had fallen. And its clear fallen. And yet now its clear that that was because it was rubbish weather. As soon as we had heat wave, a sunny had a heat wave, a sunny weekend, were coming weekend, they were all coming over here. And every of over here. And every one of those is tragedy those dinghies is a tragedy thats what everyone can agree. I think hes going to regret putting much emphasis this putting so much emphasis on this because hes doing is because all hes doing is emphasising the governments failure. Hes now processing the governments processing about 2000 claims a week, which is significant faster than it was six months ago. And they want to increase that to 4000 by october. But basically all of those applications are being approved. And so i can approved. And so i can understand why concern native voters will be pretty angry because theyre effectively giving an amnesty, which is probably going to bring more boats probably going to bring more boaits amnesty in all but its an amnesty in all but name. I was speaking to mark white, home affairs white, our Home Affairs Correspondent earlier, belinda and he said that, look, france is doing a little bit more. So the numbers are slightly down. But the fact is slightly down aint good enough. So its not stopping the boats. Stopping the boats. I slightly question that because what happens is they may well stop migrants going from a particular and market particular beach and market offers many stopped. Offers how many theyve stopped. Theyre to run around theyre just going to run around the corner and go off, which is whats happening. Stopping permanently. 5 permanently. A little bit so id be id be a little bit more careful over those those figures. I think 500 million for just delaying the journey of a migrant boat, is i think migrant boat, which is i think all french i mean, theyre all the french i mean, theyre doing are under doing all the figures are under estimated anyway, they . Yeah. And french are yeah. And the french are doing and what theyre doing is the escorting the boats to british waters letting our british waters and letting our border them here. Border force bring them here. You know, i mean, rishi is making himself, you making a fool of himself, you know, is a way he can save know, there is a way he can save the tories come the next election and hes not doing it because everyone is looking at him thinking, make him and thinking, you make these promises its not even promises that you its not even that trying to keep them. That hes trying to keep them. Hes to keep them. Hes doing nothing to keep them. Absolutely nothing. I think if they were but i think if they were serious, have legal serious, they would have legal routes people to come into routes for people to come into this country and would accept the that were going to the numbers that were going to take can integrate take so that you can integrate them the kind of legal them into the kind of legal routes you have. Benjamin, are you legal. Benjamin, are you genuinely talking about opening us up what, million us up to, what, 90 Million People displaced around people who are displaced around the i youve to the world . I mean, youve got to be practical about this. We have. Yet a Health System have. And yet a Health System under the most serious strain , under the most serious strain, we have no home for our own people. People. All those problems are not because of refugees. Those because of refugees. Those problems are because of tory neglect. And thats why , going neglect. And thats why, going back to the falsehood of your monologue, do you accept benjamin , though, that were benjamin, though, that were largely , on the whole, not largely, on the whole, not talking about refugees when it comes . You never shut up about it. Who are in the boat . Were talking about . Were talking about . Were talking about economics. Even Illegal Migrants. Its the vast economic migrants. If they werent legally refugees, then you wouldnt have a situation where more than 80 are accepted. More than 90, more than 90 accepted from afghanistan, syria , yemen said afghanistan, syria, yemen said it before. Theyre passing everyone through because theyre trying to process quickly, make it look like that, even when they have their asylum claim refused. In france, this is the fourth home office has admitted we take so in that have had their so many in that have had their asylum claim. Think know whats i think you know whats really galling for british really galling for the british people these 41,000 people this for these 41,000 whove told they shouldnt, whove been told they shouldnt, theyve shouldnt theyve been told they shouldnt be british taxpayer is be here, the british taxpayer is still supporting those 41,000 people. Its not fair. I think the government would be better, to be honest, that theyre going to take these people in and take them in at people in and to take them in at france rather than putting their lives at risk. I think that way youd have safer border youd have a safer border crossing, and wed youd have a safer border crossingworkers and wed youd have a safer border crossingworkers that and wed youd have a safer border crossingworkers that weind wed youd have a safer border crossingworkers that we need ed youd have a safer border crossingworkers that we need in get the workers that we need in a first country. A first world country. But just said shed be but you just said shed be taking Million People. Taking 90 Million People. Your argument, you if we took your argument, you would have countries like spain, italy, greece are taking an unbearable brunt these unbearable brunt of these refugees. Alongside refugees. Refugee
