Rishi Sunak has insisted migrants \u201cshould sign up to British values\u201d when they move here.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister, addressing criticism over Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s\u00a0speech at Conservative Party conference, said the UK should be proud of its multiculturalism.<\/p>\n
But he said there is an \u201cenormous sense of frustration that there are tens of thousands of migrants who have come here illegally over the last couple of years.<\/p>\n
Mr Sunak told ITV\u2019s This Morning: \u201cWhen people do come here they should integrate, they should sign up to British values so we have that shared understanding amongst us.<\/p>\n
“I think we also all agree that it should be us who decides who comes here, not criminal gang<\/p>\n
