Home Secretary Suella Braverman is heckled at Conservatism Conference | 5 News In six weeks time the blueberries will be ripe at Winterwood Farm in Kent and who's going to be picking them? Currently the farm here employs about 320 people of which 300 are from countries all over the world and the remaining 20 are Brits. OK, so you rely heavily on a foreign workforce? Yes.

We're going to do everything in our power to achieve that, and ultimately, it will be for the public to decide at the next general election whether we've succeeded or not. But be in no doubt that the Prime Minister of the Home Section and I will do everything we can to achieve that goal. I'm just interested in listening to some of the language you're using there.
