That isnt giving every homeless person in Hull somewhere to live. These charitys make everything sound so rosey

No, people are helped to get council accommodation, if they have nowhere else to go to. There's over 750,00 properties empty in the UK.

Most of the ones in that figure are empty for under 6 months - so being refurbished or being sold and then some are factories so your 750k is misleading - isn’t it. And you have added an extra 50k - didn’t you

He'll do a good job of denting the Labour vote.

I think between Corbyn and Reform, Labour will be lucky to see out their term.

Shame.

Refugee support organisations have been forced to install safe rooms in their premises, relocate to less visible sites and in some cases close their offices in response to the threat of far-right violence. Half of NGOs and charities supporting people seeking refuge have faced threats, a “hostile environment” of protest and safety concerns since the riots of 2024, according to research documents seen by the Guardian.

During the course of the research, multiple organisations reported online threats, trolling, hostile emails and intimidating Facebook posts. Some anti-migrant protesters made video recordings of refugee organisation premises and shared them in far-right online groups, with one NGO named on a far-right hitlist having to close temporarily, while some received harassing phone calls and threatening messages.

For the first time in four years, the asylum applications backlog has fallen below 100,000 people. It is now just above 70,000 cases, relating to almost 91,000 people – down by 18% from a year earlier and its lowest since September 2021.

If not used for this, it would only go abroad to help other foreigners. It all comes out of the foreign aid budget.

But, why? Bins are not collected, potholes everywhere, no money for police but we send foreign aid abroad.

Btw, how come as a taxpayer of 20 years, the govt. never offered me one free night at a 4* hotel?

Are you a migrant? They don't get 4 star hotels.

Yep. Very cool. So cool it makes a mockery of Notch's claim that Labour have sent back 35,000 of them in their first year in power.
