Lee Anderson column: Hardworking Brits deserve better than their treatment by this Government

She stated that anyone arriving here in the UK should be able to claim asylum. Reform UK wants to see illegal migrants detained and deported.

Since Labour came to power last summer, over 30,000 people have entered our country illegally. The Prime Minister claims to be ‘very angry’ about this, but I’m not sure he is quite as angry as the British taxpayers who have to fork out £1.2 billion a year to keep those people here who have arrived illegally in our country.

I asked the minister if she agreed that these individuals should be detained and deported.

I also challenged Birmingham Labour MPs who I feel are too busy campaigning for a new airport in Pakistan, to focus on the giant super rats that have taken over the streets of Brum in recent weeks, due to the bin strike. I asked the minister when this rubbish will be cleared. I feel for the residents of Birmingham, who have had to put up with a vile situation for the last few weeks. It is totally unacceptable.

The beginning of Awful April arrived in full force last week, with thousands of households facing increased bills across the board. Thanks to Labour, families will be under more pressure when it comes to their cost of living, as energy, water, council tax, and train fares have all become more expensive (to name a few). Hardworking Brits deserve better than this.

I have been busy campaigning ahead of the local elections in May, in both Runcorn and Ashfield.

Last Friday, I was on the knocker in Runcorn, talking to constituents and supporting Reform UK’s fantastic candidate, Sarah Pochin, who is standing in Runcorn by-election.

She will restore law and order to the area and ensure that constituents will feel proud of their MP.

Later on Friday, I was back in the capital of common sense, in Kirkby, where I was out delivering leaflets for our brilliant county councillor candidate, Simon Wright.

We will take our country back.
