Theresa May was urged to push ahead with Brexit last night as new figures revealed record numbers of migrants working in Britain.

The Office for National Statistics yesterday said foreign-born workers now hold one in six jobs – a record 5.4million of the total labour force of 31.8million.

The statistics also showed that the number of foreign workers from Poland and seven other eastern European countries that joined the EU in 2004 has soared past one million for the first time.
