General Election LIVE: Cleverly and Cooper clash over Rwanda and immigration numbers in LBC exclusive debateShadow home secretary Yvette Cooper compared the General Election betting situation to the Partygate scandal.
James Cleverly has been accused of lying after warning that Labour's immigration policy would open the door to 100,000 migrants from Europe. Cleverly says the UK has always been a generous country to those who play by the rules, and"we will always be that." Cleverly responded claiming when he introduced visa restrictions such as a raising the minimum salary threshold and restricting foreign students bringing family members when they come to the UK"that Labour criticised that every one of those measures".
