Zia Yusuf slams ‘lying Labour’ over village which could be ‘ruined overnight’ by migrants

Reform UK’s Zia Yusuf has blasted the Government after planning documents revealed assessments for 3,510 migrants next to an Oxfordshire village of just 350 residents, according to the Daily Express. The Home Office has insisted the figure is based on an outdated estimate.

Reform UK spokesman Zia Yusuf has accused the Government of concealing the true scale of housing plans after unexploded ordnance risk assessment papers revealed a proposed scheme for 3,510 service users at the former MoD Bicester Site A facility. The site directly borders the small village of Piddington in Oxfordshire, which is home to just 350 people.

Speaking to the Daily Express, Mr Yusuf said:

It’s now been revealed the lying Labour Government had assessments carried out based on housing 3,510 migrants in the English village of Piddington, more than double the official figure of 1,256. That would have been 10 illegal migrants for every one resident.

The shocking discovery has left villagers deeply concerned. Samantha Phillips, a resident of 26 years, told the Daily Express that she is now organizing self-defence classes for women and children in response to the proposals. Residents also noted that they feel like collateral damage in a diabolical scheme.

• Assessments for 3,510 migrants found in planning papers
• Piddington population stands at just 350 residents
• Home Office claims figure is based on outdated estimates
• Official cap for the site remains at 1,256 asylum seekers

A Home Office spokesperson defended the broader strategy, stating it is categorically untrue that 3,510 people would be housed at the facility and confirming that the department is working to close asylum hotels by moving individuals into alternative accommodation including former military sites.
