'People are right on the brink financially, businesses are being taxed more than ever, pensioners are going cold - people who actually need benefits in some cases are having them cut'

Mass immigration is ruining Britain and making you poorer. Illegal immigration is making it even worse and you even poorer.

Step forward US Vice President JD Vance: "If you look in nearly every country, from Canada to the UK that imported large amounts of cheap labour, you've seen productivity stagnate. And I don't think that's that's not a total happenstance. I think that the connection is very direct."


And he's absolutely right. Britain is stagnating despite importing about a million people last year.

The economy is flatlining and GDP per capita, which is what we should all really care about. GDP per capita fell by almost 1 per cent last year.

Here's a revelation that you might have missed yesterday. Home office officials cannot explain how handing out hundreds of thousands of skilled worker visas is actually economically benefiting Britain. And it's not a shock when you look at who some of the employers sponsoring skilled workers are.

56 kebab houses, 83 businesses with 'halal' in their name. One butcher alone sponsored 918 visas. And then what do loads of them do? They arrive as skilled workers and then they apply for asylum, which, you guessed it, opens them up for a life on benefits.

And this is what I really want to talk about. Labour have had an absolute shocker over benefits.

What Torsten Bell and Labour don't seem to get. And by the way, I will add, I think a lot of the media don't seem to get. is this. It's not just people on benefits who have to survive on £70 a week now. I

I bet you right now that there are millions of people in Britain who go out, work every day, slave away, and by the time they've paid income tax, council tax, energy bills, Ulez charges, rent, food bills, taxes, taxes, taxes, taxes - they are left with just about £70 a week.

But we have got 1 million migrant households in Britain on benefits. We spend £1.1billion, apparently, on universal credit for refugee households. That was in 2024. If you are an illegal migrant, you can get free accommodation, phones, driving lessons, you name it, we'll give it to you.

People are right on the brink financially. Businesses are being taxed more than ever. Pensioners are going cold. People who actually need benefits in some cases are having them cut. Farmers having to sell their land.

Do you see what's happening here? The only people not getting worse off are legal and illegal immigrants.
