UK: 'Stop lying about immigration'

Via the Evening Standard:
Mass immigration is here to stay and politicians are "lying" if they claim they will slash it, a senior MP said today.

Labour's Margaret Hodge said all parties should stop "competing on numbers" and instead focus on tackling feelings that the system is unfair.

The Barking MP insisted the Government's vow to cut net immigration to the tens of thousands "will fail" - but said it presented the perfect chance to change the debate.
