Immigration: We must choose language carefully, says minister
Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick has said politicians must be careful with language, after the home secretary claimed southern England was facing an "invasion" of illegal migrants.
Mr Jenrick told BBC Radio 4's Today: "It's not a phrase I've used."
But he said Home Secretary Suella Braverman was right to be straight with the public about the "sheer scale" of illegal migration.
