Tory pledge to cut immigration triggers Labour ‘fake news’ row
Labour dismisses Priti Patel’s claim immigration would soar under party as ‘make-believe’
Priti Patel, the home secretary, has said the Conservatives would reduce immigration, as one of her ministers acknowledged people had felt “let down” by the party’s failure to hit its targets in the past.
Patel said levels of immigration would be lower but clearly dropped David Cameron’s failed target to cut net migration to the tens of thousands.
