These will be happy: the racists of Britain First must be celebrating Suella Braverman’s decision to accede to their demands and stop housing asylum-seekers at hotels. But with the number of people coming here dropping by only 20 per cent, is it a premature celebration? Will these hotels keep the migrants, but with councils forced to pay the bill?

Read this:

The UK government intends to terminate contracts with 50 hotels currently housing asylum seekers by the end of January, a move that threatens to offload the £8m daily cost onto already strained local councils. This decision emerges as part of the government’s broader efforts to tackle illegal migration and reduce the cost associated with processing and housing asylum seekers.

Critics argue it will merely shift the burden onto local councils, already grappling with financial strain and housing shortages. The Local Government Association (LGA), the national voice of local government in the UK, has warned that councils may have to house these asylum seekers in the very hotels the government is vacating. They call for additional funding and consultation in these decisions, underscoring the need for local authorities to be adequately equipped to accommodate these individuals.

The impression This Writer had, from watching our rubbish mainstream media news reports, was that the number of people getting across the Channel in boats had fallen by an amount significant enough that these hotels weren’t needed any more.

Here’s a government tweet on the subject:

See what I mean?

There’s nothing about asylum-seekers being housed in the same hotels, but with local authorities forced to pay for it with the money they should be spending on public services.

It seems Suella Braverman is forcing your council to take the blame for her failure to handle the refugee issue.
