Former Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick has claimed that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak “didn’t understand the importance” of legal migration numbers in the UK.

In a sit down interview with GB News host Patrick Christys, Jenrick revealed he “didn’t feel that the Prime Minister understood the importance of legal migration to the British public”.

Jenrick told GB News: “It was an issue that I have cared about for a long time. I shared that conviction with Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary at the time. She and I met the Prime Minister approximately every fortnight to talk about Home Office issues like stopping the boats, like security and policing.

“Never once did we have a conversation about legal migration because the Prime Minister didn’t want to talk about it.”
