Quotes from Candice
“The successful models to follow are the US and Australia. Those work, but they will not do them because it's labour, right? It's the human rights brigade.”
Candice Holdsworth criticizes Labour's asylum review policy as ineffective and weak, arguing the government won't implement successful deterrent models like those in the US and Australia due to ideological constraints. She nominates newly elected MP Hannah Spencer as 'Plank of the Week' for breaking traffic laws during a campaign video, calling it a poor reflection on her office.
- border and immigration

What's all this, Candice, at the beginning of December? There's a huge blitz on the headline, all the papers full of it, big crackdown. And it's things like, you know, if you come in illegally as an asylum seeker, or you get approved for asylum,
your refugee status will be reviewed every 30 months, every two and a half years. You can imagine all the thousands of migrants on the beaches of Northern France, now around Calais, going, blimey, have you heard about they're going to review our status every 30 months?
I'm not going now. That's not a deterrent, is it? No, no, it's weak, it's weak, weak, weak, weak, weak. She's completely overpraised. But I think a lot of people who've been paying attention to this know none of it's going to work.
The successful models to follow are the US and Australia. Those work, but they will not do them because it's labour, right? It's the human rights brigade. They'll never do what needs to be done. Exactly right.
Well, Candice, you can make the next nomination. Who would you like to put up for the prestigious honour of Plank of the Week? Well, it's Hannah Spencer. She wins. (laughing)
She won. Wonderful moment. There she is, Green Goblin Hannah, with Green Goblin, Zach, David Paulson there. What a couple of geeks. Yeah, well, she's the local plumber, you know?
But she's a law break, she's a local plumber, yeah. She's got a million pounds worth of property. I gather, though, she's also a law breaker. Well, so, I mean, all her videos now, her campaign videos, seems to go scarily viral. I've never seen anything like it before.
Not always for good reasons. I mean, usually for pretty mixed reasons. So her latest one, she's doing a joyride through her constituency with a bunch of people who don't have seat belts on, who are on their mobile phones, I think are not a licensed number place,
and she's going for it. I'm going to have to be a bit of a school mom and wag my finger at her and say, "Not a good look, Hannah," for a newly elected MP.
