Let's agree on the premise that none of them need to come. matched

And that the people who come to this country should be the people that we want to come. matched

Let's agree on that. matched

And then let's then, I think, try to build the relations with other European countries that essentially say, this is a problem we've got to crack together. matched

Because what you've got to do is you've got to stop giving the motivation for coming. matched

so then the stuff so the stuff that shabana mahmoud is doing where she's trying to send the message okay look at the reality of the political problems that she's facing because of that so that's what i'm trying to say to you is it is not as easy as it sounds matched

Well, because the political problems that she's having are happening because of a lot of MPs thinking that there's a real danger that we are being driven here by an unfair politics of the right. matched

And that actually within this, you're going to project a very bad image of the United Kingdom. matched

And there are people that we should be coming in who won't want to come. matched

Yeah, yeah, yeah. matched

Or just about the same. matched

In other words, she's trying to say it should be harder for you to come here and stay here. matched

Okay? matched

Yeah. matched

And I think the politics of that are proving difficult because of people's fears about us actually saying we're putting up the barriers to the lot of you. matched

but we should be putting up barriers to illegal immigration except where we choose to let people in that's kind of what that's what she's saying but why is she facing problems from the labour party for saying this reasonable thing this is the point you've made because they've there is a their fear that this is then actually sending a broader message about what sort of people we are what sort of country we want to be in relation to legal immigration matched

Yeah, but you're saying moderately reasonable things. matched
