Lovely news …… Rayner approves plans to house more than 1,000 asylum seekers near #Piddington

The housing secretary has approved plans to house 1,256 male asylum seekers at MOD Bicester in Oxfordshire, next to the village of Piddington. 

Villagers have fiercely opposed the proposals, holding a symbolic referendum in which they voted to "leave" the UK back in September.

But Angela Rayner has pushed ahead with the plans anyway.
