Imo if you commit a crime in a country you serve your sentence there so the victims of your crime and that society as a whole can see justice being served.

Why should the country pay twice? Firstly, with the crimes committed on it and secondly by paying for the criminal's food and accommodation? Deport them.

I agree with the Lords on this. We're British and we need to demonstrate our values of fairness.

The government has been defeated after the House of Lords said ministers should guarantee EU nationals' right to stay in the UK after Brexit.
The vote, by 358 to 256, is the first Parliamentary defeat for the government's Brexit bill.
However, MPs will be able to remove their changes when the bill returns to the House of Commons.
Ministers say the issue is a priority but must be part of a deal protecting UK expats overseas.
