Is Keir Starmer trying to walk us back into the EU?

As Channel crossings hit 10,000 this year and with Labour set for a drubbing in the local elections, the Government is scrambling to appear tough on immigration.

New measures will make it harder for firms to hire from overseas and penalise bosses who break employment law. But will the plans really bring down immigration, let alone ‘smash the gangs’ as Labour promised?

Kamal and Camilla are joined by Lord Frost, Boris Johnson’s Brexit negotiator, who says successive governments have failed to be strict enough with immigration controls.

He also accuses Keir Starmer of handing powers back to the EU as part of his 'reset' with the bloc – while asking for nothing in return.
