WATCH: Zia Yusuf and Chris Philp descend into bitter illegal migration row during Piddington protest

Watch the moment Reform UK's Zia Yusuf and Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp descend into bitter a illegal migration row during a press conference in Piddington.

Speaking following Labour's decision to approve plans for asylum seeker accommodation in MoD Bicester, Mr Yusuf used his statement to call on Mr Philp to "apologise" to the people of Piddington for his party's failure to tackle illegal migration when in Government.

Mr Yusuf said: "Chris, would you like to actually apologise for the things that you did in Government, to bring hundreds of thousands of people into this country illegally?

"Are you going to take the opportunity to apologise to the people of Piddington and to the country?"

Mr Philp appeared outraged at the remark, hitting back: "That is disingenuous Zia, as usual. The men that are going to be placed here are men who arrived very recently under this Labour Government.

"But I hope today, rather than engaging in point scoring, we can stand in solidarity. We can stand in solidarity with the residents. Listen to the people clapping and read the room."
