“This is more than an immigration issue right now. This is a women’s issue. This is a safeguarding issue,” Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch says, adding that her party would have intervened and stopped more than 1200 migrants from being relocated to a military base near Piddington, Oxfordshire, which would see women in the village being outnumbered 10 to 1.

00:00I think this is more than an immigration issue right now.
00:03This is a women's issue. This is a safeguarding issue.
00:06We have 133 women in this village.
00:08I've been speaking to quite a lot of them right now.
00:10I had a meeting for about 40 to 50 of them.
00:13And being outnumbered 10 to 1 by men whose background is unknown
00:18on a site that's not well situated, it's just right next to this children's park.
00:23I don't think that's right. This is a safeguarding issue
00:25and a Conservative government would intervene.
00:27I saw a very pro-forma letter coming from Andy Burnham to these women
00:32and I thought it was disrespectful.
00:34Not a single government minister has bothered to come down here
00:38and talk to these women. They haven't been offered a meeting.
00:41They have been dismissed.
00:42The government tells us that it has a violence against women and girls strategy
00:46but if they're not taking the issues of the women of Piddington seriously
00:50then I think that that strategy is not worth the paper that it's written on.
