Quote:
Theresa May has said the decision to destroy the landing cards of Windrush migrants was taken under Labour.
The prime minister told MPs she was not home secretary when the move was approved, saying it happened in 2009.
Jeremy Corbyn said "vital historical records" were shredded and suggested the PM was trying to "blame officials", suggesting Theresa May's government had shown itself "callous and incompetent".
Asked by Mr Corbyn whether she had signed off the decision to destroy documents which could have proved Caribbean migrants' arrival in the UK, she told MPs the decision was taken in 2009 while Labour was still in power.

Looks like another own goal for Corbyn and Diane Abbott
