Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
I’m not sure if you have misread this.

Firstly, Leigh made the point that his constituency was "under extreme pressure in terms of housing and jobs". That is, presumably a fact.

Leigh was speaking after the home secretary outlined plans for the expansion of rules for Ukrainian family members to come to the UK. This would mean the loosening of the eligibility criteria from just spouses and children under 18 to grandparents, siblings, and adult children. Priti Patel also confirmed the relaxation of language requirements and salary thresholds that apply to most migrants entering the UK.

Leigh described her response as "proportionate".

You can feel sorry for people who are displaced, and that is only human. But there is a limit to how far you can go to help people. If hordes of people are brought into a situation where there is insufficient houses and jobs, that is incredibly short-sighted. You are not doing your constituents any favours and you are putting these people into a position of no hope.

You need to think things through when in government and that is what the Home Secretary and this particular MP are doing.
