The claim

Fact check: Labour has not been in charge of immigration policy since 2010

Rating

The video discusses real statements made by Labour figures. However, it is not possible to say calls for a return to freedom of movement, or for every council in the country to take in more migrants, had any bearing on Government policy or have impacted the UK’s immigration system. Neither of these ideas have become policy since being proposed.
