The shadow justice secretary, who served as an immigration minister in the last government, has been one of the most vocal critics of the Labour Government’s attempts to curb immigration.
This week, Jenrick has called for the Government to publish migrant crime data, but was confronted about his record in Government when discussing the matter in a GB News live event.

The issue of immigration continues to dominate the political agenda, with a recent YouGov poll showing that 74% of people asked believed that the government is doing a poor job to control it.
An Ipsos poll conducted in April found that two in three Britons believe the total number of people entering the UK is too high, with 43% stating it is "much too high."
This week, the Chancellor pledged in her spending review to end the use of hotels to house migrants awaiting process by the end of the parliament. Critics however have warned that to move asylum seekers from hotels to private accommodation could not only fail to solve the problem but exacerbate existing issues in other areas.
