00:00 One of the most powerful forces reshaping our world is unprecedented mass migration.
00:10 The wind of change that carried my own parents across the globe in the 20th century was a
00:18 mere gust compared to the hurricane that is coming.
00:23 I can't pretend that politicians have done a great job of managing immigration for the
00:30 last 30 years.
00:33 We were too slow to recognize the scale of the problem, too unwilling to accept that
00:40 our legal framework needed to be updated.
00:44 And let's be honest, far too squeamish about being smeared as racist to properly bring
00:51 order to the chaos.
00:54 Every time I've gone to Parliament to improve the law on immigration, Labour has tried to
01:00 block us, always aided by their allies in the third sector, some of whom openly declare
01:06 that they oppose national borders merely on principle.
01:11 All of them bleating the same incessant accusation, racist, racist, racist.
01:18 They've always used that smear.
01:21 They tried it against Margaret Thatcher.
01:23 It didn't work.
01:25 They tried it against David Cameron.
01:26 It didn't work.
01:28 A couple of years ago, they even tried it against Winston Churchill, our greatest ever
01:34 leader, and it didn't even work then.
01:38 And I can promise you, it won't work against Rishi Sunak and it won't work against me.
