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."
