“I secured the very changes that are making this, announced them, and then resigned because they weren’t enough. I want the numbers to come down much more.” “We don’t want hundreds of thousands of people coming into the country. We want net emigration. That means more people leaving every year than are coming in. Why? So that we can reduce pressure on housing, people getting a doctor or a dentist, and stop this constant pressure where British workers wages are being hammered because there’s an easy lever of foreign labour.” “So it’s got to keep coming down. Reform have a very clear policy, net emigration. We’re going to get it right down and have a long period, maybe a decade or more, which would give the country breathing space.”
