Sir Keir Starmer's warning that uncontrolled immigration risks creating an 'island of strangers' has prompted fury across much of the British left - including excitable comparisons to Enoch Powell.

But head to Denmark and you'll find their fellow-wingers aren't just outspoken about the need to tackle the issue - they've put their words into action, to dramatic effect.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen made tackling out-of-control immigration a key priority since coming to power in 2019, vowing to pursue a 'zero-refugee' policy that involves actively discouraging people from coming to the country.

Despite this measure remaining controversial, no one can deny its success, with asylum claims dropping by almost 90 per cent over the past decade.

Last year they plummeted to 2,333, while the UK total hit a record 108,138.
