Claim: Labour has pledged to open Britain's borders to 100,000 more migrants each year.
Fact-check: Conservative estimate that UK would take 100,000 migrants a year under Labour plan is not reliable - Full Fact
Verdict: this is misleading. the 100,000 figure is a conservative party estimate which is not reliable, because it makes several assumptions and appears to misinterpret a recent eu agreement on relocating asylum seekers. we don't know how many migrants the uk might take under a future returns deal with the eu—labour has not said what such a deal would involve, or how many migrants it would accept.
