Heres the question Corbyn asked
“Did the PM, The then Home Secretary, sign off that decision.”
Mrs May jumped to her feet and said
“NO! The decision to destroy the landing cards was taken in 2009 under a Labour government.”
No lies there as the former Labour Home Secretary, Alan Johnson confirmed.
Yes she did - its a natural trait of all scumbag 'nasty party' members!!!

An extract from this article:
The second aspect is the change to legislation. The government has attempted to muddy the waters, ridiculously claiming that this was a change of law under Labour. This claim is false. It could not explain why cases are arising now, as Labour has unfortunately been out of office for 8 years.
The key legal change was made in the Immigration Act 2014. This was when Theresa May was Home Secretary. Previously, all longstanding Commonwealth residents were protected from enforced removal by a specific exemption in the 1999 Immigration and Asylum Act. It was this clause that was removed in the revised 2014 legislation.
The removal of this protection was enacted without any proper parliamentary vote or even scrutiny. If it was a deliberate government policy, it was surreptitious and nasty.
