Labour preparing to move asylum seekers out of hotels and into empty homes and student blocks

“We need to get to the point of dealing with the anger in communities, but also maintaining law and order on our streets.”

Asylum accommodation was “always going to be a flashpoint” for protests but the government balance dealing with the riots and housing asylum seekers, says Claire Pearsall.

If there are empty homes, why aren't they being used to house British homeless and those on council waiting lists?

"Move to Europe, get free homes"
Why wouldn't they all come?
Free homes for everyone, except the natives.

It's not the housing of immigrants in hotels, it's the fact that they are here at all that underlies the unrest of the people of Britain.

[lindayoung]

Why is there so many British people living on the streets if houses and accommodation is so easy to find for illegal immigrants.

[lemonybeaver]

Why are the empty homes not being used for British homeless?

"lets get the 100k boat people processed and that'll solve a lot of the problems" Is this woman nuts?! We don't want them 'processed' we want our Country back.

[vikkistorey]

So I suppose its far right of me to say We should be housing our OWN HOMELESS 1st. UK is finished, Its wrong on ALL LEVELS what's happening to us here & in Ireland.

Labour put them in empty houses will cause more riots cause people can't get a home

[andybrice]

Maybe impoverished and homeless Brits should try claiming asylum.

[tvaccount]

Yeah, great idea, lets all fund their mortgages on actual houses instead of hotel rooms, because that will make it cheaper wont it 🤦🏻‍♂️ You need to deport them, not home them!

[mabuhayASMR]

Think about that. £8 million a day to house asylum seekers while our pensioners, lifelong taxpayers, are having to decide between eating and heating their home in winter.

[bethmcnaughton]

If this happens, when we’ve had a housing crisis for years, the unrest in the country now will be like an Amish tea party…..watch this space

[CatherineMitchell-vwix]

I thought we were having to build on our green belt because there weren’t any empty houses 🤷‍♀️

[brianhewson]

Plenty of empty homes in Kensington, Chelsea and Richmond.

[codswallop]

Don't forget to mention the landlords handing out notices to natives to cash in on this....

"Empty homes" but not for English people - Two Tier Keir

[TGNWRUD]

Lots of space in Pakistan. I'll buy a flight for one of them.

[johngalvin]

Where do the homeless indigenous people get to live?

[bootqaz]

Havs Starmer stopped the media publishing the amount of boats arriving in UK?

[niknoks]

imo the Labour Party have given themselves 4 years to get these migrants processed, just in time for them to be eligible to vote Labour at the next GE! let that sink in 😉
