I have not controlled Britain’s borders, Rishi Sunak tells BBC

Rishi Sunak has admitted that he has not controlled Britain’s borders as Prime Minister in a BBC interview with Nick Robinson. Mr Robinson said: “You want to talk about immigration, you said you did at the beginning, and you promised to control our borders. “But the number of people arriving here legally under the new immigration rules, introduced after Brexit, and you campaigned vigorously for Brexit, reached a record high. Last year 685,000 extra people came here. That’s twice the population of Coventry. You didn’t control our borders, did you?” Mr Sunak replied: “No, the numbers are too high. “I’ve been very clear about that, but people can judge me as well on what I’ve done as prime minister, where I’ve put in place the biggest, strictest reforms to bring down immigration that we’ve seen.” Read more here:
