Sir Keir Starmer accused the Conservatives of running an "open borders experiment" as he pledged to bring immigration down. Speaking at a press conference today, the Prime Minister laid the blame for Britain's historically high immigration at the feet of the Tories. He accused the opposition of running an "open borders experiment" while in power.
" He added: "A failure on this scale isn't just bad luck, it isn't a global trend or taking your eye off the ball, no this is a different order of failure."This happened by design not accident."Policies were reformed deliberately to liberalise immigration, Brexit was used for that purpose to turn Britain into a one nation experiment in open borders."He said the deal with Iraq will tackle people smuggling upstream "before it reaches our shores".
