Asylum seekers who work in Britain illegally should be 'on the next plane home', demands Kemi Badenoch
Asylum seekers who work in Britain illegally should be 'on the next plane home', Kemi Badenoch has said. The Tory leader wants illegal working to become a disqualifier in the asylum process, so that anyone caught is barred from becoming a refugee. Aslyum seekers are generally not allowed to work in the UK, although they can apply for permission to work if they have been waiting 12 months for a decision. Concerns have recently been raised that some migrants living in hotels housing asylum seekers are earning money through food delivery apps. The Home Office recently struck an agreement with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats to help them identify delivery riders who are not allowed to work in the UK. The Government will share the locations of asylum hotels as part of the deal. But Mrs Badenoch and Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, want tougher action to stop illegal working being a 'pull factor' attracting small boats across the Channel. 'If you come here illegally, take advantage of our asylum system, and then break our laws by illegally working, your asylum claim must be rejected and you should be on the next plane home,' Mrs Badenoch said. The Tory leader also said that illegal working 'rewards illegality, protects perpetrators and mocks hard-working taxpayers'. 'Under my leadership, the Conservatives will never allow Britain to become a soft touch for those who think they can break the rules and profit from it,' she added. Mr Philp said he had seen riders gathering at a hotel housing asylum seekers, which he described as 'an underground courier cartel operating right under this Government's nose'. He added: 'Illegal working is a pull factor sold by smugglers as a reward to break in to our country and cross the Channel. 'That is why we are calling for new action: anyone who plays the system should have their status stripped, wages confiscated, and be deported.' Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has previously said that 'illegal working undermines honest business, exploits vulnerable individuals and fuels organised immigration crime'. She described the Home Office's data-sharing deal as 'decisive action to close loopholes and increase enforcement', Ms Cooper added it sat alongside 'a 50 per cent increase in raids and arrests for illegal working'.

Myleene Klass doubles down on claims ex cheated with celeb warning ‘I have receipts' for ‘people who fear truth'
MYLEENE Klass has doubled down on claims her ex cheated with a celeb, warning 'I have receipts' for 'people who have reason to fear the truth.' Recently, the Loose Women star, 47, said she walked in on her then partner Graham Quinn and another famous woman unzipping each other's clothes at HER birthday party. 2 Myleene — who wouldn't divulge the female's name but said she built her career off a 'family brand' — revealed: 'I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony. It was in my house. 'It was my party. They weren't having sex, but they were unzipping each other. '[They said] 'It's not what you think', but it is what I think. It's the first thing they both said." Following the bombshell claim, speculation over the mystery woman has spread like wild fire across social media. Now, Myleene has issued a defiant new post saying 'I won't keep my mouth shut.' The TV star penned: 'Wow. What a week it's been! 'Firstly, thank you. I have quite literally tens of thousands of messages of love and support for me and my family. I took a long time to learn there's strength in vulnerability. 'In a varied week where my interview with @paulcbrunson and @needtotalk went viral and reached the people who needed to hear it, where I was part of the incredible @stjohn_ambulance team who helped to save a persons life and where my children and I somehow managed to rescue our passports from the bottom of the Adriatic, it's been a mixed bag! 'All this to say, at 47, I've finally found my voice and it's clear, unapologetic and brutally honest. 'To those that fear its truth, you probably have reason to, I have receipts, to those that need to hear it, I've got you and I fully intend to continue using it to change the laws and legislation that neglect women and children in this country and around the world.'
