Tories pledge £20m for 30 towns as Labour embarks on 'power up' bus tour

Sir Keir Starmer has accused the last government of a “one nation experiment in open borders”. In a press conference in Downing Street, the prime minister accused the Conservatives of a “different order of failure” that happened “by design not accident”. Starmer 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.” Report by Covellm.
