‘Hypocritical’ Badenoch calls for Tory councils to launch legal challenges against asylum hotels
Kemi Badenoch was called “hypocritical” to challenge the use of so -called shelter hotels in the local regions of conservative councils.
In a letter on Wednesday, Tora leader said that if your legal advice supports ”EPPING Forest Region Council,“ encouraging it ”to take the same steps”.
However, the movement was criticized as “desperate and hypocritical nonsense”, given the conservative’s asylum hotels and its own record.
At the summit of its use in the summer of 2023 under the conservative government, more than 400 shelter hotels are in use.
The figures about the remaining hotels dates back to December 2022 and at the end of September 2023, the number of 56,042 asylum seekers in hotels reached the summit.
The Essex Council decided on a temporary precautionary measure from the Supreme Court on Tuesday and prevented EPPING from being used as accommodation for asylum seekers in the field of planning of Bell Hotel.
Speaking on Thursday morning, Shadow Interior Minister Chris Philp said, olmaz There should be no 56,000 people in hotels, but he reiterated Ms. Badenoch’s call for legal action.
Mr. Philp said: “Kemi’s letter yesterday [Wednesday] Conservative Councils, conservative leader EPPING will support and encourage the use of asylum hotels with a legal basis for challenging them, he said.
“What is shown by the EPPING CASE is at least some of these asylum hotels used by the government. We encourage and support Conservative Councils to do what they do while standing for the local communities of EPPING.”
Mr. Philp said that people who moved from Bell Hotel to the house secretary Yette Cooper wrote to ask for not put in another hotel.
School Standards Minister Cat McKinnell said that he could not comment on the characteristics of where people will be transported in hotels.
The government faces the possibility that more councils can initiate legal action to restrict the use of hotels.
These include Tamworth and Wirral Councils directed by Emek, Broxbourne and East Lindsey councils operated by TORY, and reform Staffordshire and West Northamponshire councils.
When McKinnell was asked whether he will support the councils operated by Emek, he said that it is not “his place ına to comment on“ it would be a legal process, and “I think the government really works closely with local authorities to manage these conditions within local communities.
“We accept the legitimate concerns and efforts of the local authorities to ensure that the situation under the locality is appropriate.”
A worker spokesman said that Ms. Badenoch’s letter was “a painful stunt” and “desperate and hypocritical bullshit of the architects of the broken shelter system ve and olmuş 20,000 less asylum seekers in Tories’s summit”.
Bell Hotel in EPPING was previously used as a shelter in 2020 and then between 2022 and 2024.
According to the figures of the house office published on Thursday, the number of asylum seekers in hotels fell slightly from 32,345 in March this year.
However, the figures since the last 12 months during Labour’s first year in Power shows that the figure increased from 29,585, an increase of 8 percent.
