Rishi Sunak has unveiled the Conservative campaign bus in Teesside during his tour of the North East. In a speech in front of the blue coach, the Prime Minister sought to draw dividing lines with Labour. He said the Tories are “the ones taking bold action, getting the planes off to Rwanda”, despite the Prime Minister confirming earlier in the campaign that no deportation flights are due to take off before the General Election on July 4.

00:00 The world, sadly, is more dangerous and uncertain than it's been for decades. Iran, Russia, North
00:05 Korea, China acting in a way that's threatening our values and our interests abroad and at home,
00:11 threatening the integrity of our borders. And these uncertain times demand bold action and
00:17 a clear plan to deliver a secure future for this country. That's what we conservatives offer.
00:23 Look at what you get from the Labour Party. Just take the one issue of borders. We're the ones
00:28 taking bold action, getting the planes off to Rwanda, establishing that deterrent so that
00:33 people know that if they come here illegally, they can't stay. Across Europe, the penny has dropped
00:38 that our approach is the right one. The one person who doesn't get that is Keir Starmer.
00:43 He's going to release everybody that we've detained, cancel those flights, offer an amnesty
00:48 to illegal migrants, making us the soft touch of Europe when it comes to asylum seekers. And we
00:54 absolutely can't let that happen. And in every way, Labour would make our country less safe
00:59 and less secure.
