Sir Keir Starmer has pledged to cut levels of migration to the UK if Labour wins the general election.
The Labour leader told the Sun on Sunday that last year’s net migration figure of 685,000 has “got to come down.”
It would also legislate to link the immigration system to training, with businesses applying for foreign worker visas having to train Britons to do the jobs.Meanwhile, Rishi Sunak has promised more community care services in his first major health offer of the election campaign. Mr Sunak said the proposals would make it “quicker, easier and more convenient for patients to receive the care they need and help to relieve pressure on hospital services”.The Liberal Democrats are also campaigning on health.
The latest Opinium poll saw Labour's lead over the Tories widen to 20 points. It showed Sir Keir’s party on 45% – up four points since last weekend – while the Conservatives were down two percentage points on 25%.
