Sir Keir Starmer has accused the Tories of a “different order of failure” on immigration, saying the previous government ran a “one-nation experiment in open borders”.

The prime minister said: “Time and again the Conservative Party promised they would get the numbers down. Time and again they failed, and now the chorus of excuses has begun.”
