James Cleverly is meeting with Conservative MPs this evening to brief backbenchers on the Government's migration plans, GB News understands.

This comes amid mounting fury over growing numbers of arrivals to the UK, through both legal and illegal routes.

Figures from the Office for National Statistics published last week showed that net migration soared to 745,000 last year, a record figure.

This came just one week after the Government's flagship plan to tackle illegal migration, the Rwanda pact, was deemed illegal by the Supreme Court.

Backbench MPs are growing increasingly frustrated with the Government's failure to tackle the problem, despite manifesto pledges to cut numbers.

The figures represent a dramatic increase from pre-Brexit immigration levels, with net migration for the year ending June 2015 - the year before the UK voted to leave the EU - at 336,000.
