Burnham backlash: Middle Classes Revolt Against Migrant housing Plan
.
.
In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Poppy Coburn react to Andy Burnham’s demand that middle-class towns and villages across the UK take in their “fair share” of illegal migrants.
They examine the severe strain mass arrivals place on small rural communities such as the Oxfordshire village of Piddington, where a population of just more than 350 residents could be asked to absorb more than 1,200 asylum seekers.
Plus, after Rupert Lowe’s announcement that the pact between Restore Britain and Reform UK is officially dead, Camilla and Poppy unpack the personal rift between Mr Lowe and Nigel Farage, while challenging the fringe rhetoric surrounding “white British” identity.
