Labour party officials, particularly Jo White, advocate for accelerating the closure of asylum hotels, currently planned for 2029. Around 32,000 asylum seekers are housed in these hotels, which have faced public scrutiny due to incidents involving residents. Recent anti-migrant demonstrations led to numerous arrests, underscoring the urgency of addressing public concerns. White emphasized the need for a faster resolution to perceived injustices faced by hard-working residents. The situation reflects broader societal tensions regarding immigration and the management of public resources for asylum seekers.
Labour must shut down all asylum hotels a lot quicker than its current plan to put a stop to them by the end of the current parliament in 2029, the chairman of the party's red wall group of MPs has said. Jo White expressed a desire for a faster approach to addressing the issue of asylum hotels, highlighting the need for timely action in light of current circumstances.
There are currently around 32,000 asylum seekers in hotels around the UK. Anti-migrant demonstrations occurred recently in Epping, leading to more than a dozen arrests. The situation escalated after a man living in one of those hotels was charged with sexual assault, harassment, and more, intensifying public scrutiny over the handling of asylum seekers.
