00:00 Rishi Sunak said this was his top priority and said his plan was
00:04 working but these figures show that he's completely failed to get a grip and
00:09 these boat crossings are continuing, undermining our border security and
00:13 putting lives at risk. In the space of just four years the Tories have allowed
00:18 criminal gangs to take hold along the Channel. What we need to do is go after
00:23 the gangs and actually take some action. That is what Labour would do. Labour set
00:28 out a five-point plan to tackle these dangerous boat crossings that are
00:32 undermining our border security and putting lives at risk. That has to mean
00:37 going after the criminal smuggler gangs that are making hundreds of millions of
00:41 pounds of profit from this dangerous boat crossings. But the Prime Minister
00:46 said this was his top priority and claimed that his plan was working but
00:51 instead these figures show that the Tories boats chaos is continuing and he
00:55 simply hasn't got a grip.
