'I don't think anyone comes here wanting to sit on benefits.' Former Labour MP Graham Jones reacts to Piddington residents protesting against migrants being moved near the village. 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 512, Virgin 604 🇬🇧 Become a Friend of GB News:

Serious question here - is he dumb, lying, or genuinely deluded about what people are coming here for?

Prove it. Remove benefits. See if they squeal.

Imagine being that naive that you go on GB news and say that with a straight face 🤯 Of course they're coming over to live on benefits and thats exactly what the majority of them do

You have to be a complete idiot to still think these immigrants are coming here to work. Most are fleeing previous convictions and crimes or they come here to claim benefits. And as for the government they are doing nothing to stop it 🤡

Some disagree -

Nobody comes here wanting to sit on benefits”? That completely dodges the issue. Once again! Residents are questioning a government proposal to accommodate up to 1,256 people on their doorstep, and Cherwell Council says it wasn’t consulted before the plans were announced.

Then don’t give them any and let’s see what happens, eh? 👍

He’s admitted they are economic migrants.

Well he’s either stupid or disingenuous. But he’s definitely a tin eared clown.

I guess this is why people have had enough of uniparty politicians, past and present, and their left wing media buddies trotting out party mantras which anyone with a couple of brain cells knows is propaganda tosh and lies.

@DawnNeesom How about a report from the Home Office that shows the following since 2016. many are working. many are on benefits. 3. How many are in social housing. 4. How many have brought family members over. Let the data speak for itself

Nothing so stupid as a government who keeps defending and issue rather than dealing with it. Imagine if they grew a pair , deported all of those who entered the coy illegally, imposed a detain and deport on all new arrivals. They would kill all the noise overnight. 😉

Im 59 worked ALL my life since I was 16 And I’m sick of ALL Politicians BULLSHIT! Since Labour came to power they have broken 95% of their manifesto pledges My Prediction for the next Gen election Will be whatever party will definitely LEAVE the ECHR will win a by landslide

These fuckers are so far detached from reality it's scary..

is that thick ? Yes he must be as they have said it themselves to the camera ...... thick as pigs doo doo labour MPs and voters

The real problem here is that he, and all the other left-wing brainwashed gullible simpletons, actually believe what he’s saying. People like this are so far removed from reality that there’s no hope.

You can win defend the border and stop the illegal invasion. Labour people smugglers.

Who in their right mind thinks it's ok to dump unvetted foreign men from hostile and misogynistic countries into our towns and cities.

Oh here we go ! Another ex labour MP given pointless view ! Do your homework Graham !!! Idiot ! Benefit is the main reason illegal migrants are pouring here ! The rest follows ! Idiot ! 😡😡

What a dope.

The adult literacy rate, according to UNESCO in Afghanistan, sits at 37%. This is the elite, so what skill exactly is an Afghan migrant bringing to the Uk? What position?What job?What vacancy is that man going to fulfil?

He is that thick? Really?

Oh, so this is what its like interviewing an ostrich.

The government values the votes of the immigrants above the safety of British girls.

In 2025 86% of Eritreans who came over on small boats were granted asylum. The draw to the u k is the success rate Fact check me

Labour will be wiped out in the next election

Stop using their language. They are not 'migrants' they are illegal aliens invading Britain.

Benefits with sketchy jobs on the side is a more traditional route to prosperity.

Let’s dump 1200 on the door step of Graham Jones

I don't think MPs should be stupidly naive, either in regards to the human animal or tax payers money but here we are.

That’s why the benefits bill is so high then! They don’t really want benefits! These people are traitors and fools

Delusional

FFS, the gaslighting is on another level. It's exactly the reason they're all coming here.
