‘Crunching migration numbers must be PM's priority'

Robert Jenrick cautioned that the “cycle of broken promises simply cannot continue”. 

He made waves last week by publishing 36 recommendations to overhaul the immigration system, leading to speculation he will run for the Tory leadership in future.
