Border failings in Europe are eroding trust in nation states, warns Mahmood

Home secretary to tell meeting of interior ministers that international cooperation is way to curb irregular migration

The failure to bring order to European borders is eroding trust in politicians and the concept of nation states, Shabana Mahmood will warn.

As she hosts a meeting of fellow interior ministers to discuss migration routes through the western Balkans on Tuesday, the home secretary will say that international cooperation is the way to curb irregular migration.
