The home of common sense. This is talk.

We're joined in the studio by one of the best connected journalists in the country,

the political commentator and broadcast of Benedict, spent down the line,

the Labour MP for Hull East. Carl Turner. Good morning, Mr Turner.

Good morning, Mark.

Listen, we'll get to some of the big topics of the day in relation to government policy.

Can I ask for your reaction to the comments of Sir Jim Radcliffe?

Was it an example of wrong language but right message?

Look, I think, to be fair, I think he's entitled to say what he thinks he wants to say,

but I think he was wrong, frankly.

I think we ought to be proud of the people who

come to this country to help the country with such as healthcare as an example if we didn't have

healthcare workers coming in frankly wouldn't have people being looked after that's the reality in my view

well I think we can all agree that many immigrants make a huge contribution to this

country. But did he have a point that given the state of the national debt, the country's finances,

Carl, that if you have too many low-skilled immigrants coming into the country, it's a net cost to

the taxpayer. Well, I think there's got to be a balance.

And frankly, the Labour government are doing everything we can to stop illegal immigration,

people coming in on dinghies across the channel.

But frankly, we're not doing enough fast enough.

That's the reality.

And that's why people are getting cheesed off with us, I think.
