Philp: Migration down, but 'still far too high'

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp welcomed a 20% drop in net migration to 728,000 but called the figure “far, far too high.” Philp criticised Labour for suspending Conservative policies, including family visa restrictions, and pledged a "hard cap" on migration with a focus on high-skilled workers. He also blamed successive governments for decades of policy failures, promising detailed plans to reduce numbers significantly. Report by Covellm.
