We do not need to spend more money on bombs and bullets. We need to spend more on housing, schools and our NHS instead. A roof over your head. Enough food to feed your children. A public health service you can rely on in your time of need. That is what real security means.

Jenrick was also responsible for setting up the Asylum seekers hotel accommodation where he gave hotel owners long leases that have cost the country BILLIONS £££ ! Both he & Braverman are the epitome of DISHONEST. news.sky.com/story/did-ro...

Did Robert Jenrick really 'boast' about opening hotels for asylum seekers?
The shadow justice secretary has faced criticism for his record as immigration minister - but the truth is a bit more murky.
