Keir Starmer has warned the courts must get tougher on asylum claims as he scrambles to quell public alarm over immigration.
The PM said there was need to 'look again' at the interpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights, as well as other international treaties.
Although he stressed he did not want to tear up the agreements, he admitted 'mass migration' meant they have to be applied differently.
The comments came in a round of interviews as Sir Keir wraps up a torrid Labour conference in Liverpool.
