Nigel Farage has said the Conservatives under Boris Johnson were the government who ‘opened the doors to the whole world’ and said immigration numbers were the reason why so many Brexit voters are ‘absolutely furious’.
Speaking on GB News Nigel Farage said: “It's this government that liberalised the immigration system in a way that has never been seen in history. They did it for care workers. They did it for a whole number of categories.
“If you thought Tony Blair was about mass immigration, forget it. It's the British Conservative Party, especially at the time of Boris Johnson, that opened the doors to the whole of the world.
“And that is why so many Brexit voters are absolutely furious. They voted for control. They voted for a reduction in numbers, not a massive increase.
“And you just think about it: 2010 manifesto, 2015 manifesto, 2017 manifesto, and so on. They promised us net migration of tens of thousands a year. Net migration is now approaching three quarters of a million.
“When you think the 1.2 million settled, remember that many of those that left to give us the net figure were British people of long standing, and therefore the sheer level of demographic change that is going on is just beyond comprehension.
“In fact, in 2022 and 2023 more people settled in this country than came from the Norman invasion up until 2010, the advent of this Conservative government. It's almost beyond belief, but it's not."
