Labour MPs Blast Plans to Put Asylum Seekers in New Council Houses
Keir Starmer is facing calls from Labour MPs to scrap plans to put asylum seekers in new council homes, potentially forcing the Prime Minister into another embarrassing U-turn. The Mail has the story.
Around 200 local authorities have registered interest in a pilot scheme that would fund building homes or refurbishing derelict sites for asylum seekers.
They include Brighton and Hove, Hackney, Peterborough, Thanet and Powys.
But Sir Keir’s own MPs criticised the scheme for prioritising asylum seekers’ housing needs over Britons. Last year 1.3 million families were on social housing waiting lists, up 3% on 2024.
It comes as the Daily Mail found some of the councils signed up to the scheme are more likely to have homeless veterans on their streets than others.
Graham Stringer, Blackley and Middleton South Labour MP, said the plans are “unacceptable” as there’s already a “shortage of council housing that should be going to local people”.
Another Labour MP, speaking anonymously, said that the “bonkers” scheme “will go down awfully in Red Wall seats” – traditionally Labour seats in the North of England challenged by Reform UK.
“I’ve told the Home Office I’m against it and they need to U-turn on it in my seat…
“My problem is they won’t become council houses for years and when you have .. a waiting list of 10,000 people – they will feel asylum seekers will be prioritised – never mind the loss of houses in our area.”
Jonathan Brash, Labour MP for Hartlepool, said: “‘We have an acute shortage of council housing, with local families and key workers stuck on waiting lists or in temporary accommodation.
“Any programme to build new social homes should be focused first and foremost on meeting that local need.”
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said the Government is “so weak… they put illegal immigrants ahead of our own citizens”.

Brighton Council, as usual, is going for insanity. They needn’t worry though about having enough young Moslem potential sex offenders roaming around. Brighton University is almost bust after building student housing which it can’t fill and is selling its biggest student site to a private company. Expect students on a Deliveroo course soon.
In what world do they even consider this a good idea anyway?
Everyday they do something lending credence to the theory of them intentionally f*cking with us.
White Genocide.
I guess no MP agrees 100% with everything their party leadership does, and some or all of these MPs might simply be sensing which way the wind is blowing but you have to ask yourself what on earth they are doing in a party whose leaders so obviously don’t care about British working people
They serve the Globalist One World Government Agenda that does not care where all of the people of the world live as they want to govern us all anyway. They do not serve you or I. ——-Remember Starmer’s words on Newsnight. —-“I prefer Davos”
If anyone still believes there is no such thing as a conspiracy, only conspiracy theorists, then there is no hope for you by now.
This is the greatest conspiracy since world war two’s conspiracies against Hitler by his generals. The hordes keep arriving. The political parties and media class say little or nothing, if anything they hurl abuse and the “racist” slur, George Soros’s rentamob screamers are called out onto the streets whenever the people stand up, the police attack decent people while scum continue sexual rapes etc. etc.
It is a conspiracy folks. “They” are determined to destroy our (white) race, and our country.
And who are “they”? Well, for a start they hide in the shadows, but we can see who of their handmaidens are as they make themselves visible: George/Alex Soros for one; Klaus Schwab for another, and others…..
Yesterday, central London, Westminster. Barricades and defensive bollards on the pavements of its iconic streets, which were occupied by drug addicts and alcoholics lying in their own filth. A constant drumbeat from “Palestinian” demonstrators being agitated by a furious speaker, who shouted in a foreign language, but the anger was clear. A large and expensive police presence, with young men carrying various strange flags darting around among the public. I grew up a Londoner and it is now lost, but still the boats keep coming. If it’s not a conspiracy, then it’s a plan.
The Spanish Communist Traitors have now openly admitted the plan:
Leftist Leader Hails Great ‘Replacement’ with Illegal Migrant Amnesty
“The leaders of the far-left Spanish Podemos party celebrated on Saturday the “victory” of the mass amnesty for around half a million illegals and hailed the achievement as a step toward the “replacement” of right-wing Spaniards.”
The fascinating thing is the photo introducing the article, showing an Ethnic African man joining half-heartedly in the applause while surrounded by cheering Ethnic European women, one complete with blood-red painted fingernails. It really does confirm George Orwell’s saying that young women are the most fanatical Leftists. And see the look on the African man’s face, no doubt wondering why so many women were in charge in Western countries…
It’s probably a suggestion from that well-known think tank, The Humiliation Foundation UK.
What a total SLAP in FACE this would be to any British Citizens on council house waiting lists. To see all of this rag tag bunch of opportunists skip the queue, and it would not surprise anyone if Labour were the Party that did this, and is it any wonder they are facing a battering in the polls and are cancelling elections?
Let’s be honest, your country cannot even house your own welfare recipients, why than would they even be trying to house illegal immigrants? Does anyone have any idea why?
