This is Labour trying yet again to silence legitimate concerns by throwing around words like “far-right”.
It is a disgraceful way to act.
I’ve met the people in Piddington and Linton-On-Ouse. Steve Reed hasn’t. No Labour politician has - because they want to ignore legitimate concerns.
The people of Piddington, Linton-on-Ouse, Barnham and elsewhere are just worried for their safety and that of their children. They aren’t racist, far-right or entitled middle class people as Labour want you to believe. They are ordinary British people who care about their country and their community. They just want to Labour to listen to them.
My message to Andy Burnham, Angela Rayner, Bridget Phillipson, Steve Reed and other Labour politicians is this:
You won’t silence the people in these places with this tactic and you won’t silence me.
"This whole issue has been toxified by people primarily on the hard right."
Labour MP Steve Reed says the asylum housing debate in places like Piddington has been stirred up by right-wing parties and led to "racial hatred".

It's typical of Labour to take the wrong approach to (youth and other) unemployment.
The more immediate solution would be to slash the NICs that Reeves hiked two years ago, so more people can be employed in (starter) jobs, and MORE INCOME TAX GENERATED!

And then post-programme Newsnight producers post this. You are a disgrace. Absolutely no self-awareness or attempt at balance. Just pure contempt for the ordinary families who pay the license fee.

We will shut down the planned migrant camp at Piddington
With Kemi Badenoch as PM and me as Home Secretary the camp will close and illegal immigrants be deported
Local residents deserve to be listened to, not ignored

I'm no fan of either of them, but I think I've just watched Zia Useless politically disintegrate live on air 😆

When I told Zia to pipe down, stop the cheap political slurs and read the room local people clapped (twice)
Embarrassing behaviour which residents were deeply unimpressed by
Only the Conservatives have a serious plan - the BORDERS plan - to deport illegal immigrants instead of accommodating them in places like Piddington

Local Piddington residents not happy about the way Zia Yusuf took cheap political shots instead of supporting them
Poor Zia needs to learn to read the room
The Conservatives are the only party with a serious plan - the BORDERS plan - to fix this

“Made an arse of himself” is very funny.
The real Shadow Home Secretary won that exchange and the applause. The fake one went along to score cheap points but made an arse of himself instead.
Reform MPs Jenrick and Braverman (currently spending her time handcuffed to Katie Price) were part of the failure. They are not a serious party and have no serious plans for government. They are noisy time-wasters who are merely standing in the way of us removing this Labour government.
Conservatives are different from Reform. We acknowledge mistakes we made and work to rebuild trust. We are now the only party with an actual plan to leave the ECHR and solve the small boats crisis for good.

Absolutely brilliant from Tim McNally, Conservative councillor of Piddington. “I will use the Hillsborough Law to come after you as people of significance”.
Check mate Labour.
"We've tried our very best to engage with you in an appropriate, professional and polite manner."
