Reform UK Shadow Home Secretary Zia Yusuf challenged Conservative Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp to apologise to the people of Piddington yesterday in a heated confrontation over his party’s failure to secure Britain’s borders.
The clash followed Angela Rayner’s approval of plans to house 1,256 male asylum seekers at the former MoD Bicester site near the Oxfordshire village, despite fierce local opposition.
“When the Tories had a walloping majority having promised the British people in four consecutive elections they would secure our borders, you refused to do it”, he said.
128,000 illegal immigrants crossed the Channel in small boats on the Conservatives’ watch.
“You should apologise to the British people and to the people of Piddington who would not be in this mess if you had used your majority to secure our borders and stop the boats”, Yusuf said.
“Would you like to apologise?”
Philp is yet to take accountability for the damage his party did to Britain’s borders.
