The home secretary says the government inherited a "broken" immigration system in which there was an increase of visas being issued without "proper checks and systems in place". Yvette Cooper's comments come after a cross-party committee of MPs said the Home Office had failed to check whether foreign workers were leaving the UK or staying to work illegally.

Yvette Cooper says crimes like shoplifting have "gone up far too high in recent years" and that they "haven't been taken seriously enough".
