Kemi Badenoch has admitted that Brexit isn’t working, saying the previous government “did not deliver” after the country voted to end free movement.
“We ended free movement, but the system that replaced it is not working”, the Tory leader told a press conference in Westminster.
“Under my leadership, we are learning from our mistakes”.
It comes as the Tories promised to offer a “new leader with a new approach” to tackle migration, warning: “The system is broken, and until we accept that all politicians are doomed to fail”.
Speaking alongside immigration minister Chris Philp, Mr Badenoch pledged to introduce a hard cap on the number of arrivals in the UK, and a “zero tolerance policy” for illegal migration.
