Louise Haigh has defended the Government's handling of the migrant, despite a small village pleading with the Prime Minister to stop plans to house asylums seekers nearby. Children in the tiny village of Piddington have sent a series of heartbreaking letters to Andy Burnham as the Prime Minister faces mounting pressure to halt plans to put 1,250 migrants in the hamlet. Mr Burnham, who is currently on holiday, was urged to U-turn after Labour revealed it intended to place asylum seekers at MoD Bicester. Piddington is home to just 250 adults and 46 children, meaning the migrant population could soon be more than double the number of local inhabitants. The First Secretary of State said that discussions surrounding Piddington were "for the court to decide." #MigrantCrisis #Oxfordshire #ukpolitics #GBNews Keep up to date with GB News at gbnews.com or on X @GBNEWS Become a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com/friend
