Sunak says immigration numbers 'too high' - but
rejects claim system 'out of control'
Rishi Sunak
is being interviewed on ITV’s This Morning.
He says
immigration levels are too high, but he rejects claims it is out of control.
This is from the Daily Mirror’s Lizzy Buchan.
Q: What is
your target for bringing immigration down?
Sunak says
he wants to bring immigration down. But he inherited a net immigration figure
of around 500,000, he says.
Q: When
will we see the first people being sent to Rwanda?
Sunak says
he thinks people are supportive of the plan. It is not fair if people come here
illegally, he claims. That is not fair on taxpayers, and not fair on the people
who need help. The government wants to welcome vulnerable people; but it cannot
if people are coming to the UK illegally, he says.

Sunak says he dealt with Suella Braverman case
'professionally'
Sunak is
now being asked about Suella Braverman.
Alison
Hammond, the presenter, says it would have been good if Suella Braverman had
done a group speed awareness course. That would have shown that the law applies
to politicians, she says. She says she has done two – and people were taking
selfies of her during them.
Sunak
stresses that, in the end, Braverman did not do a private speed awareness
course.
He defends
how he handled the issue. He got the facts, and made a decison. He was
dealing with it “professionally”, he says.
