In recent weeks, Priti Patel’s ‘new plan for immigration’ has furthered these changes by very quietly reviving a programme that was exposed in 2018 by ‘The Observer’ that aimed to obtain data on migrant rough sleepers.

Labour cuts Tory lead in half
Labour has halved the Conservatives’ lead, according to the latest Opinium poll.
