Yvette Cooper says she expects net migration to fall

Shadow home secretary stops short of setting target, saying Conservatives have failed when they have done so

Yvette Cooper has said she expects net migration to fall “swiftly” under a Labour government, but refused to say by how much.

The shadow home secretary told broadcasters on Sunday that it was clear net migration must come down. She stopped short of setting a target, however, saying the Conservatives had failed when they had done so.
