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.
