Statement from Reform UK MP for Runcorn & Helsby, Sarah Pochin:
Cheshire Police have issued official crime incident numbers after my constituents reported criminal activity involving asylum seekers in Runcorn HMOs. These reports were backed by CCTV footage and first-hand accounts from residents forced to live next door to this scourge. I’ve met these residents, and I’m standing up for them and doing my job as an MP when I make public statements.
You’d expect a competent Police Commissioner and Council Leader to speak to officers before smearing an MP. If they have spoken to the Police, then they’re not just wrong — they’re knowingly deceiving the public.
I’ll gladly meet @CheshirePCC and Cllr Mike Wharton of @HaltonBC
in my Runcorn office, introduce them to the residents living with this every day, and show them the evidence — crime numbers, CCTV, the lot. Let me know if you need directions, gentlemen.
