He then added:
"We might have called ourselves the Liberal Party."

Here's more evidence that net immigration has exploded because of Brexit. Since the EU workers left, those from Africa and Asia who've been brought in to replace them have come from so far away that they understandibly need to bring their families with them. If they can't do that, they won't come.
