The Prime Minister is visiting Berlin and will also travel to Paris for talks as he steps up efforts to reset relations with the EU’s key players.

The Prime Minister will use a Downing Street speech to promise his Government will do the ‘hard work’ to ‘root out 14 years of rot’ under the Tories.

The overspend on the asylum system, including the "failed" Rwanda plan, was more than £6.4 billion for this year alone.

Vaughan Gething denied wrongdoing and insisted he had not compromised his integrity.
