Labour has approved a site for 1,200+ asylum seekers at Piddington, ignoring the village's objections.
@KemiBadenoch is right: it's a betrayal of the women of Piddington.
The answer is removal, not more sites forced on communities.

This is a betrayal of the women of Piddington, but emblematic of Labour and Angela Rayner’s disregard for the law and women and girls’ safety.

When I visited Piddington I met a village terrified of what was about to land on their doorstep. The government said it was listening, instead it’s completely ignored this community’s concerns.

The 1000+ male migrants that Labour are about to deposit in Oxfordshire are in Britain illegally. They should be deported as soon as possible, not housed in areas completely unsuitable for the task.

Only the Conservatives have a thorough plan to leave the ECHR and ensure that every illegal migrant is removed from our country as swiftly as possible.

Incredible.

Why is the Government only now preparing an assessment of the impact of its immigration measures on immigration, when these policies were announced in the Budget?

Surely the potential consequences should have been properly considered before the Chancellor announced them, not afterwards.

Policy on the hoof.

We will remember them.

At 11am, 108 years on from the end of the First World War, we pause to reflect on the extraordinary courage and sacrifice of all those who have served our country.

We remember those who never returned, those who were wounded, and the families who have lived with the loss of loved ones.

Their service and sacrifice must never be forgotten.

Lest we forget.

The Government is handing care workers the right to stay permanently in the UK.

But their answers to my colleague Lord Kamall show that they have no idea how many care workers will be impacted.

You cannot control immigration if you don’t count it.

20,000 migrant criminals living freely in UK despite deportation orders.

The only way we can ensure foreign criminals are deported is by leaving the ECHR.

I've been going through the Immigration and Asylum Bill line-by-line on the Public Bill Committee, and the Government is not being strong enough on foreign offenders.

We must leave the ECHR.

Labour won't do it, the @Conservatives under @KemiBadenoch would.
