Dame Andrea Jenkyns has criticised Chancellor Jeremy Hunt's Spring Budget, declaring "we must go further" to stop the growing migrant crisis.
Speaking to Martin Daubney, Jenkyns told GB News: "We need to get money back and put the our country first, and the first thing I would do would be ditch these net zero policies. I personally think it's a vanity project.
"I don't mind looking at different sources of energy for energy security Martin, but I do believe in letting the markets choose, letting the public choose and that freedom of choice and the announcement, what is it, 390,000,000 on green projects in the budget. I was very dismayed.
"I think we need to drastically reduce international aid. Now I say reduce not get rid of, because if there's some catastrophe globally, you've got to be prepared to chip in and help. So I think we need to drastically reduce international aid."Why the heck are we still paying money to France? They're not helping us stop the boats. I would stop that immediately, and why are we putting people in hotels who get here illegally? I mean, I'm sure we'd club billions back from this. And so I think that would be a good start."
