The recent crime data shows what we've long-suspected, but it is staggering nonetheless. Foreign-born prisoners in UK jails are at record highs, with foreign prisoners making up 85% of the population in some London prisons.

This direct link between migration and crime is there in black and white for all to see. Despite the overall prison population in England and Wales falling, foreign prisoner numbers rose by over 3%.

Despite this, this Labour Government persists with the mass migration experiment, continuing to import hundreds of thousands of migrants every year and allowing countless illegal Channel crossings.

Let's not forget, those arriving here by small boat are people who are entirely unchecked, undocumented and unvetted. Knowing this, successive Conservative and Labour governments have continued to place them in properties and hotels in the hearts of our communities.

Yet, we have no idea who they are. The statistics show that we are filling up our town centres with criminals who are a drain on our economy, a strain on public services and a danger to our communities.

Just in my own constituency, I've had countless reports of violence and anti-social behaviour caused by illegal migrants from residents and businesses. I have no doubt that many fellow MPs will have inboxes bursting at the seams with similar correspondence.

It's been shown that migrant crime doesn't just stop at littering and anti-social behaviour. It also poses a serious threat to our efforts to combat violence against women and girls.

Of the 10,722 foreign criminals and suspects imprisoned in this country at the cost of £580million a year to the public purse, 1,731 are in prison for sex offences. That's one in eight of the foreign offender prison population and 10.6% of all sex offenders in prisons.

The Casey Report found that 52% of suspects in Greater Manchester child sexual exploitation cases were of Asian heritage, with a significant proportion of those claiming asylum.

In Britain, foreign nationals are over 70% more likely than Brits to be convicted for sexual assault, and 26% of the 1,453 convictions for sexual assaults on women last year were accounted for by foreign nationals. This is despite the foreign-born population of the UK only accounting for around 16% of the total population.

If we are to have any hope of eliminating violence against women and girls in Britain, this alarming statistical disparity must spark a frank and honest national conversation about the link between crime and immigration. That must involve a re-evaluation of our tolerance for importing alien cultures at the current scale.

Reform seems to be the only political party in the UK that takes this issue seriously.

Since the launch of our crime campaign just last week, fronted by famed detective Colin Sutton, we have seen next to no engagement from the Conservatives or the Labour government. Where we have set out a clear and radical plan to halve crime within five years, there has been nothing forthcoming from the others.

Of course, the Conservatives' silence could perhaps be excused by the fact they were in office for 14 years. In that time they oversaw prison overcrowding, a steady degradation of law and order in the UK and the systemic importation of tens of thousands of illegal migrants.

Reform UK has been clear: we must leave the ECHR and deport every single foreign criminal in the UK, thus freeing up an extra 10,000 prison places.

Where Labour releases 16,000 convicted criminals onto our streets to free up prison space, we will strike bilateral agreements so foreign offenders finish their sentence in their own country, as Denmark has already done with Kosovo.

The simple fact is that the British taxpayer should not be footing the bill for other countries' criminals. The sooner this government accepts the direct correlation between mass migration and lawlessness, the quicker we can create a safer Britain.
