British Prime Minister insists on reducing net migration to the tens of thousands

Despite being slammed by the public as a result of her inability to bring net migration below 100,000 as promised by the Tory led government, Theresa May has again insisted that she is committed to that promise.

So far it is not clear, if the controversial net migration issue will still be part of the Conservatives manifesto for the June 8 snap election.

The PM while speaking on the campaign trail in Enfield, in north London, said: "We want to see sustainable net migration in this country.

"I believe that sustainable net migration is in the tens of thousands.

"Leaving the European Union enables us to control our borders in relation to people coming from the EU, as well as those who are coming from outside."

Though while working as the Home Secretary for about six years, the PM over and over failed to bring that to a reality.

Also, the Culture Secretary earlier on, had refused to be drawn on whether the target to get numbers down to "tens of thousands" would be in the manifesto.

She said: "What we need is to have the right people, to attract the brightest and best.

"It's not about putting numbers on it, it's about making sure we can deliver where industries need skills, where the brightest and best want to come to Britain."

Mrs May also seized on apparent confusion within Labour after Jeremy Corbyn was forced to rule out backing a second referendum on the terms of the final Brexit deal having earlier refusing to do so when pressed by.

Seemingly unaware Mr Corbyn had already ruled out a second Brexit vote, she said: "People voted in the referendum last year to leave the European Union.

"That's what the Government needs to put into place and his failure to rule that second referendum out shows the coalition of chaos that we would have under Jeremy Corbyn."
