Labour's plan to tackle spiralling immigration was last night dismissed as 'laughable' for not containing a cap on numbers.
Sir Keir Starmer's pledge to cut migration will be unveiled in full today, but critics immediately questioned how he would measure its success.
The Prime Minister will vow that 'migration numbers will fall'. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said the plan would mean a 'substantial' drop on last year's net migration figure of 728,000, but refused to put a cap on numbers, saying it was a 'failed approach'.
Today's announcement comes less than a fortnight after Reform UK rode a wave of rising public anger on immigration to triumph in the local elections, delivering a string of damaging defeats to Labour.
Sir Keir will today talk about overhauling the system and making those who come to Britain earn the right to stay. But critics said the plans were nothing new and questioned Labour's appetite to implement them.
