The vast majority of illegal migrants are fighting-aged men, not women and children.

So number one, the vast majority of the people making the journey from France by small boat are fighting -age, military -age males, not women and children.

That's the first.

You need to see if real -time fact -checkers are working this evening or not.They seem to be when I speak, but let's see.That's the first point.The second point I would make is that, you know, we're talking about asylum hotels and Rachel Reeves saying, we're going to shut down asylum hotels.There was a report today that this Labour government is not only renting hotel spaces, they're actually going to buy hotels, buy hotels at the taxpayers' dime.Can you just categorically deny that that is the case, that this government, this Labour government is spending taxpayers' money purchasing hotels in order to house illegal immigrants and asylum seekers?

We own government...I'm answering your question.We own government -owned temporary accommodation for when people are waiting for a decision.That is true.So you're not buying any more?Well, we've had to buy some to get out of hotels, but it's temporary.
