Smash the gangs! That is what the Prime Minister promised us. Trust me, I will stop the boats

from coming, but 70,000 later, and 1,000 in the last week, and too many young men that

pose a threat to national security. Is it not time to admit smash the gangs has been

a total abject failure, along frankly with most of his other policies? Isn't it now time,

he told us, as summer approaches, what is plan B?

Well, Mr Speaker, this is from the man of the party that voted against giving law enforcement

counter-terrorism style powers to tackle them. So he wants the grievance, he doesn't want

it sorted. He has absolutely no judgement. He again said, let's join the war, let's all

go to war. I want to make it perfectly clear, he wants the war. A week later, screeching

U-turn, we don't want to go to war. And he says, trust his judgement. Mr Speaker, it's

hard to take anything he says seriously. He promised lower tax, and now reform councils

are hiking council tax by 9%. In Worcestershire, this is what he said about Worcestershire.

He said, we took control of a virtually bankrupt council, I wish we hadn't bothered. He asked

for people's votes, and then he abandons them. Reform don't want to solve problems, they

merely want to exploit them. I am thankful for the opportunity to change this country

for the better. He says he wish he hadn't bothered winning councils, because they're

an absolute disgrace.
