Rishi Sunak has pledged to push for reform of global refugee rules as he warned that failing to tackle illegal migration would “destroy the public’s faith” in politicians and governments.
In a speech in Italy, the Prime Minister said that insufficient action would lead to growing numbers which will “overwhelm our countries and our capacity to help those who need our help most.”
He also warned that malign states were deliberately “driving people to our shores to try and destabilise our societies.”
