Yvette Cooper, the Shadow Home Secretary, has accused the Conservative government of failing to manage immigration effectively, pointing out that net migration has reached a record high of 606,000. She criticized the government for not having a credible plan to address the issue, despite their promises to reduce numbers. Cooper highlighted the strain on public services due to high migration levels and suggested that the government's policies, including the Rwanda deportation scheme, have been more about creating headlines than solving problems. She emphasized Labour's intention to tackle the issue by focusing on criminal gangs facilitating illegal immigration, improving border security, and negotiating new returns agreements with Europe.
