What was said
"You should be able to have sufficiently good relations with some of the countries within the European Union that anybody who comes goes straight back. That is the only way you can fix this right now. It's not doable in the context of this toxic political environment that we've got."
Campbell argued the only viable solution to illegal immigration is an EU agreement to immediately return arrivals to European countries, acknowledging Brexit made this impossible. He blamed the toxic political environment for preventing such cooperation while defending the need for legal migration routes.
