At 930 this morning, the home Office Published their migration statistics for last year. Before i go into the numbers, but suffice to say they are simply enormous. I want to think for a moment about the politics of this. You see, the conservatives were elected to power in 2010, promising to reduce net migration to tens of thousands. They failed, but they made the same promise again in the 2015 manifesto. Theyre to manifesto. Theyre going to reduce net migration to tens of thousands, failed. And thousands, and they failed. And then me down. In 2017, then blame me down. In 2017, manifesto , they promised they manifesto, they promised they would reduce net migration to tens thousands, and 2019, tens of thousands, and in 2019, they said they would take back control of immigration, with hints that numbers would come down. So were in the 14th year of a conservative government, and by any marker , whether its and by any marker, whether its legal migration or illegal migration, they have failed. And its one of the reasons that theyre in so much trouble with their 2019 voters, especially those whove made the journey through ukip, etc, from the labour party to the conservatives, because for them , conservatives, because for them, brexit was about borders. More more than anything else. But more than anything else. But dont worry, its all okay. Theres a new plan varne rishi is going to get tough. Oh yes yes yes yes yes. Skilled workers to earn at least £38,000 a year, up to earn at least £38,000 a year, up from £26,000 a year. Therell be a ban on Foreign Workers in homes , bringing in family homes, bringing in family members , um, etc. Etc. A review members, um, etc. Etc. A review of the graduate route for immigrants will be launched and theyre promising us now that this time, if we re elect them, numbers will come down significantly. So let me ask you, do you believe rishi sunak farage at gb news. Com well, you can tweet hashtag farage on gb news. I dont believe a word of it. And to be honest with you, i dont think they ever believed a word of it. I think theyre too far in hock to big employers in this country who want as much cheap as possible. Thats cheap labour as possible. Thats my view. Well, im joined by doctor mike jones, executive director migration watch uk, doctor mike jones, executive dire thats an increase of 70 compared to 2019. And then youve got a cohort of family visas thats around 8080 1000. Thats an increase of about 70. And then you have smaller groups, you know, on the bno hong kong visa, the ukraine resettlement programme. But you know, its increases across the board. Board. Yeah, i mean, i think many people would say, well, the ukraine situation, the hong kong situation could be one offs. And they could argue that. But i want to just hone in on something. The number of dependent s 270,000 dependents. And these are dependents of care workers. They say the rules are changing. Yeah. I mean isnt that politically the most explosive figure here . Uh, absolutely. I mean , uh, absolutely. I mean, restricting the number of dependents is low hanging fruit because many of these people are economically inactive. So in economically inactive. So in terms of you know, looking at the treasury and the fiscal impact of immigration, this is an obvious area to cut. So so, you know, banning certain groups of dependents for, say, postgraduate students or care workers, thats thats very much the most logical place to start. Someone explain to me why students brought dependents in. Uh, they were mostly attached to postgraduates. Yes. Uh, so the composition partners, perhaps . Yeah. You know, spouses perhaps . Yeah. You know, spouses , children and so on. Um, and thats a place essentially , thats a place essentially, because the composition of the postgraduate student population changed. And, you know, historically, its mostly been students from china , but Chinese Students from china, but Chinese Students from china, but Chinese Students bring very few dependents with them. But weve dependents with them. But weve seen a shift more towards , as seen a shift more towards, as you know, india and nigeria and the government has specifically targeted those national groups. And obviously because of, you know, cultural differences , know, cultural differences, differences in family formation, they tend to bring more dependents with them. And dependents with them. And obviously, the student visas does make you question the economic so called benefits. Economic so called benefits. One thing, though, we have to give them credit for is the figures show a 36 decrease in those crossing the English Channel those crossing the English Channel, but im really sorry, mr cleverly. You kept telling us in the last couple of months of last year that it was, you know, because of government policy working. I kept saying the weather was rotten. You even said over christmas, for the First Time Since 2018, nobodys arrived and arrived over christmas. And i was christmasing on the kent coast getting up to coast and it was getting up to 50 an hour winds every day. 50 mile an hour winds every day. The home office did say one of the reasons the numbers down the reasons the numbers are down is bad weather in the is the very bad weather in the last of year. So i last quarter of last year. So i hope mr cleverly, you withdraw those statements. Lets think those statements. Lets think about this, omar, a more about this, omar, a bit more deeply. I mean, i sort of postulated at the beginning there that one of the reasons for this is the so called insatiable shortage of labour or more cynically, the demand of big employers to have a lot of cheap labour. I mean, why have the concern, do you think the conservatives have genuinely tried to get numbers down or not . I think the conservatives know that the economy needs these workers, right. So think a clear so i think heres a clear point of disagreement. Um, point of disagreement. Um, many of people come here, of the people that come here, come since brexit come because the since brexit happened, the migration system has changed. And now people that come, come because they have , come, come because they have, uh, an offer from employers , uh, uh, an offer from employers, uh, the nhs now has over 100,000 vacancies. So the point is we might want to reach an artificial target of 50,000. 10,000, uh, migrants coming into the country. But many of these people come in because the economy needs them now. Many of them not necessarily do. Um. Uh jobs that, um, the, you know, some of them do the jobs that, uh, english people dont want to do. British people dont want to do. British people dont want to do. Thats the story. Thats the story were told. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. But about money, but that could be about money, couldnt because mean, couldnt it . Because i mean, my observation observation observation on my observation going to 2004 was when going back to 2004 was when you have huge amount of foreign have a huge amount of foreign laboun have a huge amount of foreign labour, particularly unskilled foreign labour, coming into the country, minimum wage country, that the minimum wage becomes. And becomes the maximum wage. And that means the difference between benefits and between being on benefits and working for working is pretty marginal for british but the issue british nationals. But the issue is that many of them come in. Wanted to increase , if we wanted to increase, lets say, salaries of care lets say, the salaries of care workers , of nhs staff to get workers, of nhs staff to get more british people working into these sectors, we could do this, but that would increase the bills. Course, british bills. Of course, for british nationals. So theres a trade off here. Uh, we can uh, off here. Uh, we can get, uh, people clearly people that are clearly qualified, the jobs that qualified, that do the jobs that we need, um, and effectively , we need, um, and effectively, especially in the nhs, if we dont, if we dont get these people now, uh, before we train nurses doctors and all of nurses and doctors and all of that, that will take several years. Uh, the lack of skills. There is a time lag. Ive there is a time lag. Ive been saying this for 20 years. Why is everybody doing social sciences . What we need nurses, engineers and theyve been shortages for a long, long time now. I fully, fully understand that point. But you know, something . When tony blair came something . When tony blair came to office, we had 58 Million People. Weve now got 68 Million People. Weve now got 68 Million People. Thats going to be 75 Million People by 2036. On current projections. And current projections. And actually and we can argue whether gdp goes up by 0. 1 a yeah whether gdp goes up by 0. 1 a year. And we can argue that we might be short of baristas or whatever it may be, but actually the impact of a population explosion on the lives of ordinary people is now being seen to turn negative, isnt it . Well, i would disagree with that. I think when we know very well i mean, the economics speak very clearly. You know, when people come in, migrants are youngen people come in, migrants are younger, they are uh, many of them highly skilled with the them are highly skilled with the economy, them. They economy, needs them. They contribute. Are less likely contribute. They are less likely to Services Like the to use social Services Like the nhs, schools, etc, but they need houses, of course. But a place to live . Absolutely, absolutely they do. But we also need that and the fact is that the government hasnt produced them neither for us. Neither for them nor for us. Right. And the big issue. Right. And thats the big issue. You cant migrants you cant blame migrants for something is the something that actually is the governments fault. For many years, Public Policy years, decades, Public Policy cant many are coming. Its difficult to know what to its not a problem to build, but its not a problem of Public Policy se. Of Public Policy per se. A political issue. Its its a political issue. Its the that there is so much the issue that there is so much nimbyism this country, um, nimbyism in this country, um, that effectively were not increasing of housing increasing the supply of housing as need. As we need. Believe the social side of i believe the social side of this been negative firmly. This has been negative firmly. But subjective comment but thats a subjective comment on more objective economic on the more objective economic point. And i can point. You know, mike and i can remember know, this remember, you know, arguing this with the Bbcs Nick Robinson ten years ago, you know , that he years ago, you know, that he said, oh, well, you know, gdp goes up by 0. 1 percent a year, but then gdp per capita actually isnt up. In fact, its isnt going up. In fact, its going now a case going down. Is there now a case that can be made that mass migration on this scale is not an economic benefit . Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, the case has been there for decades is theres a difference between growing the economic pie. If you increase the size of the population, then obviously youre going to increase the size of gdp, which is, you know, the total number of goods and services. But real wealth through gdp wealth is created through gdp per capita, which is per person. And there are many smaller countries with smallish populations that are wealthier than the uk or wealthier than countries with larger populations. You know, singapore or norway, switzerland. So or norway, switzerland. So ultimately its about human caphal ultimately its about human capital. Uh, skill and competence and investment in the capital stock. So its about the capital stock. So its about the quality of your population rather than sheer quantity. And there are actually, you know, what they call externalities in terms of having a higher population. You mentioned the pressure on housing, roads, housing, health, education and social capital. Education is a big one, of course, because a lot of people who come are younger, have quite big families. I mean, look , we big families. I mean, look, we may have a Labour Government in a few months time. Whos to say . A few months time. Whos to say . And theyre looking at a sort of return to deal with the eu that could even increase numbers. I mean, are we just going to go on, do you think, with our population exponentially growing, the amount of migrants coming in is not so much the issue . I think the issue is how do we give a sense to, uh, to citizens that effectively the numbers, the borders are controlled and that the numbers are , uh, if you want part of are, uh, if you want part of a bigger plan or a long terme plan, and i dont, i dont see the i dont agree with the, with the i dont agree with the, with the fact that, you know, the population is increasing because of and that is of migrants and that is necessarily bad thing. Of migrants and that is nec it sarily bad thing. Of migrants and that is nec it isrily bad thing. Of migrants and that is nec it is it bad thing. Of migrants and that is nec it is it is, bad thing. Of migrants and that is nec it is it is, itad thing. Of migrants and that is nec it is it is, it is. Thing. Of migrants and that is nec it is it is, it is. Iing. Of migrants and that is nec it is it is, it is. I mean, it is it is, it is. I mean, no, no. Think of countries such as canada. I think of countries such as canada. I think of australia. Theyve got rather more well, theyve got rather more room we have. Um, but but room than we have. Um, but but no, what is a fact that is no, no, what is a fact that is that 85 of the million that 85 of the 10 million growth 1997 directly growth since 1997 is directly down migration in and down to migration in and migrants having children. Thats a fact. Whether its good or bad a fact. Whether its good or bad is the thing we can argue about. But what interesting, you but what is interesting, you know, that neil, know, is that david neil, who was recently by the home was recently sacked by the home secretary, his papers have been published the course the published over the course of the last hour. And says last hour. You know, and he says our this is our Border Protection, this is on illegal immigration, right. Our is neither our Border Protection is neither effective is it efficient. Effective nor is it efficient. He says all the recommendations that hes made havent been listened to. I mean, thats one area. Thats one area. Illegal immigration. The British Public overwhelmingly are demanding their politicians do something. Their politicians do something. Why dont they . Well, the fact is that, first of all, just to clear , the of all, just to make clear, the amount of people coming in by boat small boat is an extremely small amount to the overall amount compared to the overall migration right . So migration numbers. Right . So last around 36,000 people last year, around 36,000 people came boat , last year, around 36,000 people came boat, which is came in by boat, which is compared to the million and some and more than have come. Of course, its a very small percentage. Its very visible. Its very visible. Its very visible. It is a very visible one because politicians want to make it visible. But thats another issue. We they want to hide it. Made it visible. I made it visible. I made it visible. I made it visible. I was talking about you. I was talking about you. Issue is rather, um, but the issue is rather, if you look at the data, the latest Home Office Data show that, of the ones that, uh, two thirds of the ones that, uh, two thirds of the ones that come and applied for that have come and applied for asylum actually been asylum have actually been accepted, which is truly extraordinary. Extraordinary, right. How is it means that right. So how is it means that effectively , many of them are effectively, many of them are genuine refugees. So the question weve been granting question is, weve been granting asylum to albanians france asylum to albanians when france and germany give zero. I mean , but albania is i mean, but albania is a different case. And now there is a clear, um, agreement. There is an agreement with albania because effectively its a safe country. If you cant return people to other the world, other parts of the world, it seems to theyve taken the seems to me theyve taken the view just let stay. View just let them stay. Im going to give final word on going to give a final word on this debate to mike. This good debate to mike. Illegal immigration in promise after promise after promise rhetoric being upped and upped home secretaries. Im putting the navy in the channel. The royal navy in the channel. Not much is changing, is it . No. The numbers have come uh, no. The numbers have come down slightly lately, but thats due to the returns policy that rishi sunak has of albania. Rishi sunak has of albania. Yeah. Now, the weather and the weather. Yeah. The most fundamental question in illegal migration policy is this. If migration policy is this. If somebody arrives in your territory illegally, can you deport them to their country of origin or a third safe country like rwanda . In many cases, we cant do that. I mean, you look cant do that. I mean, you look at the top three nationalities of people coming to the uk via small boats afghanistan, iran , small boats afghanistan, iran, turkey, rishi sunak thrashed out a returns policy with the turkish government, but what happened . It doesnt seem to be working. Do you know what, folks . We can discuss this forever. The numbers are the numbers. Theyre the. They cant be disputed. They show some massive increases on year. Massive increases year on year. Despite promises. I despite all the promises. I dont think this government is going rid of it. I dont going to get rid of it. I dont think the next government is going get rid of it either. Going to get rid of it either. And i think overall, think and i think overall, i think its a negative. It is a great debate. Jeremy debate. Next wednesday, jeremy hunts the last hunts budget. Itll be the last budget before the general election. The talk now election. And the talk now is hes his tax hes going to change his tax policy on non doms to mirror that of the labour party. Is that of the labour party. Is that really what a conservative chancellor should be doing , or chancellor should be doing, or is playing. Politics so your reactions , i asked you, so your reactions, i asked you, do you believe rishi sunak when he says whatevers happened in the last 14 years, we have a new set of policies. Were going to sort the whole thing out. John says. Do i trust rishi sunak . Says. Do i trust rishi sunak . Not as i could throw him. Not as far as i could throw him. Heidi says i now think we need an election asap. Sunak and the conservative party are over the longer theyre in power, the more damage theyll do to the country. Michael said no , hell country. Michael said no, hell never get a grip on it. And derek says no one believes the government on this. They are helpless, as will be labour. Yes. Interesting isnt this yes. Interesting isnt it . This Huge National debate on immigration, on an issue thats has risen , you know, right up to has risen, you know, right up to be one of the top 2 or 3 policies, issues that people care about. And the labour Party Offering almost no alternative whatsoever. Now its the budget whatsoever. Now its the budget next week, and im joined by james price, former treasury special adviser and director of Government Relations at the Adam Smith Institute. James, one Government Relations at the Adam Smith Institute. James, one of smith institute. James, one of the things that the labour party have been saying consistently, one of the pieces of clear blue water, at on this area, if water, at least on this area, if not the previous subject, is theyre tax non doms theyre going to tax non doms and that will raise £3. 6 billion and that will raise £3. 6 billion a year. In a simple sentence , a year. In a simple sentence, tell our audience what is non dom . So this is the idea that people who live in the United Kingdom and theres considered to live for here tax purposes, nevertheless dont pay tax on anything that they have abroad, basically. So the idea is for this policy. So theyre foreigners. So theyre foreigners. Thats and they can be thats right. And they can be foreigners and they can be from here, but they can say, actually, ive other actually, no, ive got other things they things over there. And they consider being consider themselves as being non dom purposes. Non dom for these purposes. And so is that have an so the idea is that you have an Incentive Scheme like this to attract wealthy people to come and the United Kingdom, and live in the United Kingdom, to invest to down to invest here, to put down their here and all their family roots here and all these of wonderful things their family roots here and all thes� they of wonderful things their family roots here and all thes� they can wonderful things their family roots here and all thes� they can thenjerful things their family roots here and all thes� they can then investthings their family roots here and all thes� they can then invest in ngs their family roots here and all thes� they can then invest in and that they can then invest in and all rest of it. And so you all the rest of it. And so you get purposes of their get the purposes of their family, businesses maybe being based tax based here, you can then tax what here, and that will what they do here, and that will go and pay for schools and hospitals. But theyre not afraid the british tax man hospitals. But theyre not af going the british tax man hospitals. But theyre not af going the aftersh tax man hospitals. But theyre not af going the after anything in is going to go after anything that got around global earnings. And course, the prime and of course, the Prime Ministers wife perhaps being the most famous status, the most famous non dom status, she now changed. But the she has now changed. But the idea an extra she has now changed. But the idea billion an extra she has now changed. But the idea billion by an extra she has now changed. But the idea billion by changing extra she has now changed. But the idea billion by changing iaxtra she has now changed. But the idea billion by changing i am £3. 6 billion by changing i am told these people would told that all these people would then need to do is to put their offshore earnings into trust offshore earnings into a trust and obviate all of it, right. The problem that and this is the problem that the tax code is so incredibly complicated. Years it complicated. And 30 years ago it was this big in a book. Was maybe this big in a book. Now its probably this big or something thousands something with thousands and thousands lots of thousands of pages, lots of loopholes. And if youve got enough money, can hide it enough money, you can hide it wherever and it means wherever you want. And it means normal do those normal people who cant do those sorts cant sorts of things. You cant pay for fancy accountants all for fancy accountants and all the rest of it. You get stung with with higher tax bills. So what actually great what would actually be great is to have simple tax system. You to have a simple tax system. You could lot of could do away with a lot of these things ideally, and actually in lots of cases you then more money coming in. Yeah i mean you know, this is the jeremy hunt who said the same jeremy hunt who said last year we want rich foreigners in britain foreigners living in britain spending money spending loads of money here. Well, kind of agree with that. Well, i kind of agree with that. Hes this for political hes doing this for political purposes isnt he. Hes doing this for political purright. Isnt he. Hes doing this for political purright. Sot he. Hes doing this for political purright. So labour at the right. So labour at the moment, as far as i can count, theyve got this and theyve got theyve got this and theyve got the private schools. The vat on private schools. Right. Also a terrible right. Which is also a terrible idea. Theyve got two policies left the political left and i guess the political machination here is if the tories come and do this, tories come out and do this, then have only one policy then labour have only one policy left. Sure that left. And im pretty sure that soon get that one as well. Soon will get that one as well. Now now budgets are nearly always flagged these days. Great surprises, there are no great surprises, and perhaps one the and it was perhaps one of the reasons truss reasons why the kwarteng truss budget such chaos. They budget caused such chaos. They hadnt budget caused such chaos. They hadnt it. The hadnt trailed any of it. The markets after of markets went after them. Bank of england didnt help too much ehhen england didnt help too much either. Ones being either. Um, but this ones being trailed in classic style. So national to trailed in classic style. So natia1al to trailed in classic style. So natia 1 to trailed in classic style. So natia 1 cut. To trailed in classic style. So natia 1 cut. Thats to trailed in classic style. So natia 1 cut. Thats pretty to trailed in classic style. So natia 1 cut. Thats pretty much get a 1 cut. Thats pretty much nailed on, and thats going to allow them to say, were cutting your taxes. But that wouldnt be true, theyre that well, theyre cutting that tax respect. And tax in that respect. And sometimes go in sometimes it has to go up in other areas this is the other areas and that this is the problem. You play problem. If you try and play these accountancy you these accountancy rules, you depends forecast depends on where you forecast these out, how long it these things out, how long it goes, a tax cutting goes, whether its a tax cutting budget, a tax raising budget. It all depends where these things kind sounds kind of fall. And it sounds a little to people like little bit to most people like accountancy jiggery pokery. Little bit to most people like acc overall, jiggery pokery. Little bit to most people like accoverall,jig1tax pokery. Little bit to most people like accoverall,jig1tax burdens overall, the tax burdens risen right. And its at the highest level. Been since the level. Its been since after the end war. End of the second world war. And i part problem is, i think part of the problem is, and some of the and maybe giving some of the game away here, that treasury brain as its sometimes known, is that a tax cut will is this idea that a tax cut will cost thats cost something. And thats a sort idea. So do sort of static idea. So we do this it brings this tax and it brings in this much what dont then much money. What you dont then do is see all the other secondary effects come secondary effects that come along. Something along. So take something that the institute wants the Adam Smith Institute wants to abolish inheritance to do is to abolish inheritance tax entirely. At the moment, inheritance tax is a headline figure Something Like figure brings in Something Like £7 like a lot of £7 billion. Sounds like a lot of money. You at money. But then if you look at all the other distortionary effects so idea effects that happen, so the idea that hide their that people will hide their money theyll sell off money away, theyll sell off businesses before they die, theyll move it other areas businesses before they die, they arentle it other areas businesses before they die, they arentle iefficient,er areas businesses before they die, they arentle iefficient, dontas that arent as efficient, dont raise that raise as much money that 7 billion, actually, you worked billion, actually, if you worked it go a lot lower. It out, would go a lot lower. Maybe it would even be negative because idea that you because this idea that if you pay, pay, if you lower tax rates, people hiding money in people stop hiding money in other actually other areas, they start actually paying other areas, they start actually paying more tax. Youve got more money schools and hospitals. Paying more tax. Youve got more mo that schools and hospitals. Paying more tax. Youve got more mo that did hools and hospitals. Paying more tax. Youve got more mo that did happennd hospitals. Paying more tax. Youve got more mo that did happennd h backils. Paying more tax. Youve got more mo that did happennd h back in that did happen way back in the one genius the 80s. But one of the genius ideas jeremy hunts got, ideas that jeremy hunts got, and this, and i cant believe this, because we had a global because in 2008, we had a global credit crunch caused by people because in 2008, we had a global credi borrowingaused by people because in 2008, we had a global credi borrowing auseproperties. E because in 2008, we had a global crediborrowingauseproperties. He over borrowing on properties. He wants introduce. Cant wants to introduce. I cant believe 99 mortgages. Have believe this 99 mortgages. Have we nothing . We learned nothing . Well, i hope that this is one of they call it a kite of these. They call it a kite flying put this up flying exercise. You put this up there see how people react there and see how people react to it. I hope that is to it. I hope that this is somebody putting out here somebody putting this out here somebody putting this out here so that idea will go so that this idea will just go away. See . Caused away. Do you see . Its caused all problems and all kinds of problems and messing with demand messing around with with demand for not the way do for housing is not the way to do it. Unfortunately, going it. Unfortunately, were going to bite the bullet and to have to bite the bullet and build awful lot more houses build an awful lot more houses that that would build an awful lot more houses that all that would build an awful lot more houses that all ofthat would build an awful lot more houses that all of problems. The solve all kinds of problems. The problem people problem is that some people dont dont want dont like that. They dont want new built their new houses built in their backyards. Actually, if you backyards. But actually, if you built beautiful houses, by the way, it you way, people would love it if you had another bath had another city of bath somewhere even had another city of bath somethanz even had another city of bath somethan a even had another city of bath somethan a plain even had another city of bath somethan a plain green even had another city of bath somethan a plain green field. En nicer than a plain green field. Yeah, they might be quite expensive houses. If you they could be, but if you build them, it brings build enough of them, it brings the cost down everywhere for everybody. Money defence. Been defence. Thats been flagged already, which seems pretty astonishing given and given the global situation. And given the global situation. And given that our american friends are saying, you know, are you guys really seriously good allies anymore . Are you the bndge allies anymore . Are you the bridge the other bridge in nato to the other members what you members overall, what do you expect to be . Expect this budget to be . I think its going to be sort of p political if they do of small p political if they do go ahead with this non dom thing that shooting labour that is shooting the labour fox to one of those awful kind to use one of those awful kind of be of cliches. I think itll be steady as goes because the steady as she goes because the outlook and fair outlook is bad. And to be fair to the chancellor, doesnt to the chancellor, he doesnt have lot of space to have an awful lot of space to manoeuvre this office for budget responsibly. Hs2 that George Osborne in osborne put in a good idea, in theory, people would give theory, that people would give a sort your homework on sort of mark your homework on these way that it these things, the way that it works, things out, it works, these things out, it really constrains the action that we that the chancellor can do. We saw that mini budget saw that with that mini budget the was a mini budget saw that with that mini budget the because was a mini budget saw that with that mini budget the because they a mini budget saw that with that mini budget the because they didnti budget saw that with that mini budget the because they didnti blitjet was because they didnt put it to obr, its known, and to the obr, as its known, and we the problems we saw the problems that happened but are happened there. But there are certain that always certain things that it always scores immigration. The scores well, immigration. So the last thing here and not other things because there things as well because there isnt evidence for it. Isnt the Evidence Base for it. So the chancellor has not got an awful of movement awful lot of movement that he can do. Suspect there may be can do. I suspect there may be one more budget comes just can do. I suspect there may be one m� the 3udget comes just can do. I suspect there may be one m� the election comes just can do. I suspect there may be one m� the election signpostrst before the election to signpost what could happen tories what could happen in the tories next. Right. What could happen in the tories nexyou right. What could happen in the tories nexyou may right. What could happen in the tories nexyou may be right. It. I hear you may be right. And i hear people oh no, not people saying, oh no, not another ready. Thank another one. All ready. Thank you very much indeed, james. And being want know you very much indeed, james. And beingyou want know you very much indeed, james. And beingyou think want know you very much indeed, james. And beingyou think of want know you very much indeed, james.

Now if you want to come along to our budget special and we get the reaction and we want to get the reaction of a long way from the of people a long way from the Centre London to the budget. Centre of london to the budget. So very quickly ill so move very quickly and ill see there next week in a see you there next week in a moment. Joe biden has been moment. Joe biden has been declared officially medically fit to run for president. I know you really couldnt make it up, but that is what has happened. Well debate that. Well debate trump and nato and much more in just a moment. Ill. Be. So lets work this out. Shall be so lets work this out. Shall be the american president , 81 year old joe biden. You know, the guy old joe biden. You know, the guy who often doesnt look like he knows what day of the week it is, walks in the wrong direction, falls over on stages, slips down steps coming out of aeroplanes, and generally all around is a bit of an embarrassment for america. At least i would have thought that. And was very much confirmed and that was very much confirmed by the special prosecutor the other saying that he was an other day, saying that he was an elderly man with a poor memory. Well you could knock me down with a feather because hes had his annual Health Summary that has been released by the white house and the docs have said he is a healthy, robust 81 year old and he can successfully execute the duties of the presidency, including being commander in chief. Its worth noting, though , that was the physical examination. When he refused to examination. When he refused to take a cognitive test. Well, im joined by erik prince , joined by erik prince, businessman, former us navy seal officer, founder of blackwater and conservative erik. Forgive me. You know, i mean , we love me. You know, i mean, we love america, really. But when we look at this, we say to ourselves , how is any of this ourselves, how is any of this credible . What the hell going credible . What the hell is going on . Didnt have double on . If they didnt have double standards, no standards, theyd have no standards, theyd have no sta|iiards standards, theyd have no sta|i wonder if the if the pilot i wonder if the if the pilot of air force one could also refuse cognitive test. Refuse a cognitive test. Yeah, well, quite well. No, i mean, it is, it is. Yeah, well, quite well. No, i mean, it is, it is. Well, mean, it is, it is. Well, arguably the most important job in the world. Uh, but i mean, whats interesting, of course, is that voters overwhelmingly, including Many Democrats , think including Many Democrats, think the guy is simply too old. Yeah, the emperor has no clothes. And, uh , its becoming clothes. And, uh, its becoming increasingly obvious and its embarrassing. And for, unfortunately, the enemies of western civilisation see the weakness. And theyre theyre weakness. And theyre theyre making the most of it over the next ten, ten, 12 months. Yeah. I mean, i think that withdrawal over the last few troops in afghanistan who were purely there training purposes, afghanistan who were purely therewas training purposes, afghanistan who were purely therewas trai|moment, ses, afghanistan who were purely therewas trai|moment, wasnt it, that was the moment, wasnt it, really, that started really, that the world started to wrong . They they to go wrong . They just they didnt any of the didnt listen to any of the warnings and they believed they really own really believed their own beltway bubble. And the beltway nonsense bubble. And the enemy always gets a vote and they fed it to him. Well, the they fed it to him. Well, at the end bayonet , i know end of a bayonet, i know that donald trump and i, you know, met him at the weekend. That he would love i know that he would love biden be the candidate. Biden biden to be the candidate. Biden is ideal to face in is the ideal democrat to face in november. Theyre going to ditch november. Theyre going to ditch him, arent they . Eric its not as easy as it sounds to on, because theyd have to go on, because theyd have to invoke 25th amendment to say invoke the 25th amendment to say that hes mentally say that that hes mentally to say that hes actually mentally incapacitated, which effectively this prosecutor has said, im not going prosecute him not going to prosecute him because if he his defence would because if he his defence would be hes a senile old man. Thats what the federal prosecutor just said. But to remove him from the candidacy , theyd have to invoke candidacy, theyd have to invoke the 25th amendment, which i cant democrats doing. Cant see the democrats doing. And theyd to convince and so theyd have to convince him somehow at the convention to let them swap. Now, the democrats changed their rules so they do a last minute switch they can do a last minute switch at their convention, which is in august. But absent that, he will august. But absent that, he will be the candidate for president. Be the candidate for president. Quite extraordinary. Now donald trump gave a big speech about nato the other week and said, look, guys, you know, if you dont pay, were not going to protect how do you to protect you. How do you assess the mood of america towards its nato involvement . Is towards its nato involvement . Is it much weaker than it was . It much weaker than it was . Its absolute fatigue. I its absolute fatigue. I think, uh, you still have well, well over half of nato countries not spending anywhere near the 2. Thats been generally agreed to for the last 70 years. And theyre just not doing it. And so i think americans, as were 34 trillion in debt, theyre sick of the free rider, uh, freeloading aspect to it. I mean, norway has spends 1. 5 and they have a website showing their their National Sovereign wealth fund , which is north of wealth fund, which is north of 1 trillion now. And so theres a theres a disconnect. Why do american taxpayers have to pay when is willing to, when norway is not willing to, or worse , theyve or germany even worse, theyve been paying about 1 for many, many years and ireland almost nothing. The overall readiness many years and ireland almost nothirtheire overall readiness many years and ireland almost nothirtheir militarieseadiness many years and ireland almost nothirtheir militaries is diness of all their militaries is really pathetic, and so is nato an alliance or is it a protector at the era of protectorate is ending . Yeah, yeah. I mean it ending . Yeah, yeah. I mean it is very, very interesting. I mean, kind of we kind of protect ireland on this stuff. And in the same way, we hope america is going us. You going to protect us. Do you think . And, know, jens think . And, you know, Jens Stoltenberg burg, the secretary general nato , secretary general of nato, actually supports what trump is trying to do. You know, he wants those Member States to start spending and is spending money. And there is whats on the doorstep whats going on on the doorstep in ukraine. Do you think if the other European Countries do start membership fee start paying the membership fee that and in particular that americans and in particular the next american president , which could well be donald trump, will take a different view . Yes certainly. Even, you know, when trump started , was five started complaining, it was five of countries. And now its, of 28 countries. And now its, i think 11 of 28, 12. Yeah, yeah. And so, uh, theres at least some progress. I dont think there would have been progress unless trump was, uh, was you know, slapping in the face about it. There is, uh , look, the it. So there is, uh, look, the United States loves europe. Most of i mean, americans love to vacation in europe. Theres a theres a cultural, um, kinship. Theres a cultural, um, kinship. So its not like america is looking to run away from europe and leave it to its own, you know, leave to wolves. Know, leave it to the wolves. No, but but fair is fair. Okay, that point no. Okay, well, that point i have to say i agree with that point 100. Now, overnight we learned that illinois do not want donald trump to be on the ballot. Yet another legal case that needs to be appealed can he survive this sheer massive indictments piled up ahead of him . Him . Um , hes in much better shape um, hes in much better shape now than he even was 3 or 4 months ago. When you look at the nonsense of the of the georgia prosecutor fani willis, paying her lover 600,000 while hes coordinating with the white house and taking cash, i mean, the whole thing is really bad. The january six nonsense from the federal prosecutor , uh, i the federal prosecutor, uh, i believe has been stayed or will believe has been stayed or will be stayed by the Supreme Court until after the, um, well, january , i mean, lets face it, january, i mean, lets face it, january, i mean, lets face it, january the 6th was pretty ugly. January the 6th was pretty ugly. It was a, it was a protest that got out of hand. Its not an insurrection , right. The insurrection, right. The relationship between the United States and britain. Um, the states and britain. Um, the 1775. That was an insurrection. And people showed up with guns that day. They did not. They won. They did not. They won. And they want to call january 6th insurrection. Not one firearms arrest in a country with 300 million personally owned firearms. So not not fair owned firearms. So not not fair to call it insurrection. So georgia was the most worrying of these cases. Wasnt it . And literally, the prosecutor there pretty much just dove on her pen set the trump win to trump. Will trump win. Yeah. Will he win i think so, yes. Prince thanks for coming back on the program. Glad to be here. On the program. Glad to be here. Now what the farage moment. Lee anderson, you made this anderson, you know you made this speech about would speech about sadiq khan would you the you believe that the metropolitan police are now assessing whether a hate crime has been committed . Now, the problem with this is the all Party Parliamentary groups definition of islamophobia, and it is islamic islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of muslims. This, or expressions of muslims. This, or perceived muslimness. So so if that was to be taken by the next Labour Government and put into law , you almost finish up with a law, you almost finish up with a blasphemy law in this country. No really, you get very close to a blasphemy law. We can off the church of england, which i regularly do on this show, because i cant stand the archbishop. Can take the archbishop. We can take the mickey pope. But if mickey out of the pope. But if we say that we dont we were to say that we dont like islam at all because of the way that it treats gay people, the way that it treats all over the way that it treats all over the world where it runs, states the world where it runs, states the way that it treats women. We might ourselves actually might find ourselves actually getting close to committing something akin to hate speech. And i think all of this going back to the equalities act of 2010 and before i think all of this, i think hate speech being in law is a mistake. The whole thing is subjective and most of its based on. And if i take offence at what you say and say, it was hate speech , well then it was hate speech, well then the authorities may well follow it up. Is all about this is it up. This is all about this is all about individual group rights. Its all about identity politics. Its all folks. A complete and utter disaster. The way forward, whether were talking about prejudice against jews , against muslims, against jews, against muslims, against people of colour, whatever it is, the way forward with all of this is to treat absolutely everybody in exactly the same. Before law. The law, no fear, no favour for any groups. Treat everybody equally. And interestingly. You know that interestingly. You know that great human rights leader Martin Luther king said that was exactly what he wanted. And yet exactly what he wanted. And yet were managing now through all of this to divide ourselves up. It is a mistake. In a moment. Rishi sunak finally wakes up to the intimidation that has been going on on britains streets , going on on britains streets, and says the police now need to act to stamp it out late to the party. But what are the police need to do to stop these demonstrations . As. Demonstrations . As. Earlier on breakfast now it is the 29th of february, which means its a leap year. Pip. Youre going to be getting down on one knee today. Absolutely not. I would only get down on one knee. As i said earlier, if it was to pick up my lipstick, which had fallen on the floor. Its meant to be a deterrent. We dont really want people paying we dont really want people paying we paying these fines at all. We want children be in school. Want children to be in school. As i say, its only. This is only for unrwa authorised absence. I dont think its sunk in for us. No hasnt. Oh, my for us. No it hasnt. Oh, my member its great. I think member yeah its great. I think its 35 years its been going for 35 years now. Fish and chip awards. Now. The fish and chip awards. Lets take it back to waleses. And its only the third time its ever come into wales. Amazing. Its amazing. Its amazing. Us, we proud of. Yeah us one of the things that i found so extraordinary over the course of the last few weeks is the total inability of many of our parliamentarians and leading politicians to speak out clearly on what was happening. Whatever on what was happening. Whatever they talk about threats to mps , they talk about threats to mps, they talk about threats to mps, they say, well, of course theres the far right and theres the far right and theres the far right and theres the islamist extremists. But actually , what has really but actually, what has really been happening, what has really been happening, what has really been happening, what has really been happening over the course of last of and of the last couple of weeks, and those abominable that we those abominable scenes that we saw in Parliament Square , the saw in Parliament Square, the flashing up on the elizabeth tower that houses big ben are from the river to the sea. And, folks, we know what that means. Its not just the abolition of israel , its the abolition of israel, its the abolition of their people as well. What has their people as well. What has stunned all this is stunned me about all of this is so people have really spoken so few people have really spoken out. Its as if fear has been stalking the corridors of westminster as sectarianism in british politics starts to become mainstream and one of those who i think has been very slow to the party is the Prime Minister. But last night he gave a speech to a jewish group so predominantly jewish audience, at which he said , and in a sense at which he said, and in a sense , this this rather follows on from what Suella Braverman has been writing in the newspapers. He said mob rule is replacing democratic rule. Well, two blooming right, because it isnt just part moment. Weve seen Council Meetings where hordes of people come in. We saw a conservative fundraising dinner last weekend in stoke on trent , last weekend in stoke on trent, and this level of intimidation from people who seem to have very little respect for the idea that we change things in this country by having a verbal punch up , we then accept the result up, we then accept the result and the whole thing has felt very intimidatory. And much of what has been said and chanted at the marches really very worrying. But he puts this down worrying. But he puts this down and says the police must just shut down, intimidate free protests. But what do you do if youre 150 Police Officers and there are 10,000 very angry people in front of you, how practically can this be done now that effectively the cat is out of the bag, im joined by kevin hurley, former advanced public order commander at the metropolitan police. Uh kevin, you know , of course, there have you know, of course, there have been criticisms of the police over the last few weeks that i personally believe are valid. Personally believe are valid. How is it that nobody has been arrested for putting from the river to the sea on the elizabeth tower . How how can the police have effectively turned a blind eye to that . Blind eye to that . Well , there are all sorts of well, there are all sorts of reasons the first one is at the very top. Commanders are very , very commanders are very, very scared. Actually to make the situation worse or to face criticism in any particular form, they certainly do not want in this case to be accused of being islamophobe. Nick, uh, as being islamophobe. Nick, uh, as youve just discussed earlier on, on that program, actually , on, on that program, actually, you made the good point, nigel. How can you with 150 people deal with this . The fact of the matter is, the Police Require the courts. They require prisons, they require probation to back them up. If they make arrests, all of them have been cut and slashed , which cut and slashed, which effectively makes the police toothless when they come to make an arrest because people walk out the door or they get a slap on the hand and thats the end of it. But when it comes to the practical elements of public order policing days have order policing, the days have gone that we once had 20, 30, 40 years ago of putting large bodies of men up against groups of demonstrators , a bit of of demonstrators, a bit of pushing and shoving, a bit of fisticuffs, and occasionally , in fisticuffs, and occasionally, in real terms, a baton flying through the air to one. Now where we police totally different groups of people, many of them come from other parts of the world where what we might call the traditional british policing techniques simply dont work. Many of the people you see work. Many of the people you see on some of these demonstrations are used to be in Water Cannons sprayed with cs or batoned by their own Police Forces wherever they come from. So if were realistic and we want the police to clear the streets and take them back , then we need to be them back, then we need to be talking about what were seeing on the screen right now is water cannon, because frankly , thats cannon, because frankly, thats far less damaging. Nigel than Police Officers battering people or kicking and punching them. Or kicking and punching them. And then we end up with those Police Officers being investigated for years to come, and Police Officers actually dont want to do it anymore because they know theyre going to hung out dry they to be hung out to dry if they use excessive force. So why on earth would constables and sergeants want to get stuck in as people call for it . And why would inspectors chief inspectors indeed , inspectors indeed, superintendents say, come on, lets get stuck in. They simply wont do it anymore. So we need to change the paradigm and look at whats being used elsewhere in the world. And kevin , you know, for you and kevin, you know, for you personally, getting involved, deaung personally, getting involved, dealing with public order offences, i guess, you know, and we want our Police Officers to be brave, theyve also got be brave, but theyve also got to be realistic, havent they, about what they can deal with at any moment time. Yes they have. And i mean, youre talking to someone whos led many baton charges and ive struck many people batons over the people with batons over the years shouting stuff like , years shouting stuff like, follow me or come with me to the people im in charge of. So ive done there is a done it. But there is a realistic situation or you need to make an appraisal. Will you survive or will you be battered down if you go forward . But the other issue is what about the investigation options when youre captured on camera and your actions taken in . Maybe five seconds or 10s out of context, make it look like youre really dishing it out and necessarily when you cant get the full. If you like, picture whats been going on in the last half an hour. So we need to keep the police distant from the crowd. Now which is why we need to bring in walter cannon, okay . And we need to look at using sprays cs and stuff like sprays with cs and stuff like that, protect our officers and distance them from the crowd and drive the crowds back. Drive the crowds back. Walter cannon in france we were showing some scenes whilst you were talking the way you were talking of the way demos paris are dealt with demos in paris are dealt with Water Cannons though, dont stop protesters do they . Protesters coming back, do they . No but what they do, do they wash them away for that period in time . Uh , and they all run away now uh, and they all run away now , you know, you can add an irntant , you know, you can add an irritant to that if you irritant spray to that if you wish, which will stop them. Stop them coming back. Or you can actually put an marker actually put an index marker solution, which shows up under ultraviolet light so that as they disperse around the margins, you can then identify those who are present , match those who are present, match them up to the pictures , and them up to the pictures, and then prosecute them for various pubuc then prosecute them for various public order offences. Oh, like like that. Oh, i like like that. Oh, i like like that. You know , you know, bottom you know, you know, bottom line, nigel, if there are consequences, people think twice. So if you look at g4 or, um, security vans these days, theyve all got protected by smart water. And you know whats happened . Armed robberies on cash in transit vans have all but stopped. Now because people know that if you take the security box out, whoosh, youre covered in the spray. You cant get it off. It takes months to go. You can be identified , died, go. You can be identified, died, and you get your time in prison. Wow if were serious, we need to be doing that and backing it up with court time and prison time. But of course, the prisons are full, so dont be surprised. I must say i must say ive enjoyed this chat. Enormous only because i was expecting you to say its all really very, very difficult. But what youve actually done is offer some sensible, Practical Solutions that would carry that i think would carry overwhelming support in the country. Kevin hurley , a country. Kevin hurley, a pleasure to have you on the program. Thank you. Now its my program. Thank you. Now its my last show of the week. Its been a long week in america and here im looking forward to perhaps not front you a not being in front of you for a short of but lets short period of time. But lets end the week with a very happy story story, but story. A rees mogg story, but its no, its its not about jacob. No, its about son peter. And jacob about his son peter. And jacob is going us it. No, no. Is going to tell us it. No, no. Well, well, very kind. Well, well, youre very kind. Well, well, youre very kind. It in the times today, it was in the times today, this morning that peter was at a meeting with matt hancock. Matt hancock was speaking and was disobliging about me at eton college, at eton , even though he college, at eton, even though he knew, i think , that at least one knew, i think, that at least one of my sons, in fact, two of them were in the meeting. So then comes questions. Peter gets comes two questions. Peter gets up comes two questions. Peter gets up and is very flattering about his father, very kind , and goes his father, very kind, and goes on to say that im loyal not only to the country, but to my wife. Um, i think collapse of wife. Um, i think collapse of stout party at that point. Stout party at that point. Absolutely love it. I think thats brilliant. Oh gosh, thats brilliant. Oh gosh, folks, it sounds like there could be another rees mogg in our public life in the years to come. Um in a word or two, tonights show. Are we going to talk about non doms and why they should not rid of and should not be got rid of and this million visas, this 1. 4 million visas, immigration out of control as government policy .

Its me, Jacob Rees Mogg on state of the nation tonight as the chancellor considers scrapping non dom status at the budget next week, ill be launching a defence of this misunderstood policy that bnngs this misunderstood policy that brings billions of pounds to our economy every the prime economy every year. The Prime Minister has warned the police against the growing perception that replacing that mob rule is replacing democracy , as concerns over democracy, as concerns over pubuc democracy, as concerns over public and politicians safety. But will the police heed his word crack down on the word and crack down on the anarchy on our streets . Assisted anarchy on our streets . Assisted dying is expected to be legalised in a number of crown dependencies, according to a commons report. But is this going to push the uk down the slippery slope of moral nihilism . A colossal and record breaking. 1. 4 million visas were breaking. 1. 4 million visas were issued last year owing to an increase in Foreign Workers, but this is 14 years on from David Camerons promise to bring immigration down to the tens of thousands , im milking
