"This was a ridiculous row. Its constituency MP accused the home secretary, James Cleverly, of calling Stockton North a 'shithole' at PMQs. Cleverly tried to make out he'd said, 'because you're a shit MP', which doesn't scan the same or come across like that on a microphone. And immigration had gone up to 750,000. So I turned their argument into a comment about migrants and small boats. I mean, why would you want to come here?" Peter Brookes
