James Cleverly slams Keir Starmer's 'ridiculous' claims on 'racist' illegal immigration legislation

Home Secretary James Cleverly has hit out at Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer after claiming that the current legislation to tackle illegal migration is "racist".

Speaking to reporters, Cleverly said: "Keir Starmer has said all immigration legislation is racist. That is ridiculous.

"We need to get a grip of it. We need to bring it down and will do so professionally and properly. Well, what we have, what we have got is a plan that balances the needs and the costs. I think that a conservative working majority will take those figures and utilise them professionally."
