Sajid Javid today revealed he would scrap Theresa May's promise to cut net migration below 100,000 calling it a 'crude' figure'. Mr Javid has finally ruled out keeping the 100,000 net migration target after months of clashing with Theresa May over the issue. Mr Javid has insisted that Britain is ready for its first non-white prime minister as Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson backed his campaign yesterday. On Brexit, Mr Javid insisted he could find a technological solution to the Irish border, despite previous warnings this would be unworkable. Today Mr Javid will call for more housebuilding, describing unaffordable prices as the greatest problem facing communities.
