Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp criticised the Home Office for its alleged treatment of migrants who are set to be deported. Philp accused the Home Office of providing migrants with 'red-carpet treatment' in terms of healthcare.

Speaking to The Telegraph, Philp criticised the Home Office and the British government's treatment towards migrants. Philp, who has long favoured anti-immigration policies, accused the British government of providing soon-to-be deported migrants with high-quality healthcare.

Philp called the job posts a 'disgrace' that the government is providing migrants with 'red-carpet treatment.'
