How many times have you heard this?
"Arrivals by small boat are down significantly this year between June and August. We saw the lowest numbers since 2020. Now, make no mistake, I am not complacent. We are bearing down on these gangs with more law enforcement on the beaches of France."
Andy Burnham thought that he could dazzle us all with free bus travel and a promise to get the homeless off the streets.
He said: "It's simple, but it saves people money every day. So I think it will really help people with the cost of living pressures they're facing. It's there for the whole of 2027, and I think it will put money in people's pockets."
All bus fares for £2. He thought he could obfuscate.
He said: "That is what No10 North is all about, putting power in every postcode so that people can turn things around for themselves and make changes, just as this great city has done, and the other English cities are doing through devolution, are turning things around because of that ability to be able to do more for themselves."
Oh, that's great, Andy, but it's hardly groundbreaking, is it?
He thought he could ignore the elephant in the room until he had to after the invasion of Ceuta.

He said: "But obviously that's a matter for the Spanish government first and foremost. But it is a cause for concern, and we are making contact with the Spanish government, the Spanish authorities, to provide support, but also to understand the implications of that situation."
Now, if my Burnham 'migrant mention' clock is correct, which I believe it was at the time, it took him 12 days from the date that he became Prime Minister to even mention illegal migration.
And as I said, it's only because he had to. Now, this week we saw the highest number of boat crossings since Andy took over, 150 on Tuesday, 154 on Wednesday and 781 - the highest number so far this year. that's according to the government website, making the total so far 1,129 completely unsustainable.
Now, Wednesday's figures include a long distance dinghy from Normandy carrying 51 people who spent over 33 hours at sea, as well as an uninterrupted beach landing in Kent.
I mean seriously? And guess what? The top three countries that these men, because they are mostly men, come from Eritrea, Sudan and Afghanistan.
Places where women and girls face systematic human rights challenges. And even though it is so difficult to get the figures of reported rapes by nationality, after extensive research, Joy Morrissey collated them.
She explained the difficulty in obtaining the figures from the Home Office. She couldn't get them, so she had to find the information herself. I wonder why the whole situation of illegal crossings is utter madness.
I just don't get why our politicians are literally waiting and watching this happen. People are even getting across without being intercepted now, so brazen are they. Feast your eyes on Ceuta now Andy and co, have a look.
If we allow areas of this country to be out populated by the British people, we risk turning parts of this country into third world dumping grounds.
The British people are crying into their hands, watching a very inexperienced Government handle this crisis with Neolithic incompetence.
This is a matter of national security, yet our Defence Secretary is talking about space and can't get his figures right. And who is to blame? Well, it's not them of course. Brexit.
The whole thing is utterly shambolic.
