Good Morning Britain viewers have speculated that the government's latest plan could bring down the government altogether. On Friday (November 13), it was announced on the programme that Angela Rayner has approved plans to house over 1,200 asylum seekers at a former military site near Piddington, Oxfordshire. The plans sparked outrage amongst those living in the Piddington village, with the majority of residents voting to secede from the UK in protest. It has been met with overwhelming opposition from many, including local council and police in the area.

Local parish council boss Tim McNally has now slammed the prime minister, saying: "I’m sorry, Andy Burnham, you’re responsible for this. If any sexual violence happens, it will be on your head."

Sharing further details on Good Morning Britain, Nick Dixon said: "They feel that this has been fast-tracked from the top and forced upon them.

"As much as they expected the news last night, they are very unhappy about it.

"This MOD site is about half a mile or so from the village of Piddington."

He explained that the MOD site was previously used for distribution and storage, but will now house around 1,200 asylum seekers, "despite overwhelming opposition".

Nick continued: "This is not just from people in the village but also local council and police in this area. They have a number of concerns regarding safety and security around that MOD site, but also pressures on local services, road safety, all sorts of issues.

"The depth of feeling has been so strong. There was this symbolic referendum a few months back from villagers wanting to leave the UK because they were so angry about it."

Adding that there has been plenty of political opposition to the plans, Nick explained that Reform UK's Home Affairs Spokesperson Zia Yusuf said: "The unvetted, illegal migrant men will outnumber the women of Piddington by eight to one.
