Leaked Files Expose Labour’s Secret Asylum Hotel Plan — Public Outrage Erupts!

Labour’s handling of the ongoing asylum situation has come under serious fire, as a record-breaking number of migrants crossed the Channel in just the first three months of 2025. With 5,847 people arriving in 106 small boats, critics are now accusing Sir Keir Starmer’s government of completely losing control of the borders.

What’s making headlines even more uncomfortable for Labour is the revelation that thousands of those migrants will likely end up in taxpayer-funded hotels for years – at eye-watering costs. Internal Home Office documents, seen by the Daily Express, reveal that the department has rejected cheaper alternatives to these costly hotels, despite rising public pressure to shut them down, reported the Express.

Serco, the company responsible for much of the asylum housing, has reportedly offered multiple solutions – like converting old student accommodation into temporary housing – but most of these suggestions have been blocked. According to Serco, the Home Office Property Board turned them down mainly over cost concerns, even though the proposed sites would’ve been cheaper than current hotel rates.

This all but guts Labour’s pledge to close asylum hotels. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp didn’t hold back, telling the Express: “At the election, Labour promised to end the use of asylum hotels. In fact, there are now 8,500 more illegal immigrants in hotels than when they came into power… Labour should hang their heads in shame.”

Tory MP Neil O’Brien echoed that fury, accusing Starmer’s government of making the situation worse. He claimed Labour was “opening even more hotels” and prioritising human rights law over taxpayers’ concerns, suggesting Starmer’s background as a human rights lawyer was clouding his judgment.

And the numbers don’t help Labour’s case. This year’s first-quarter Channel crossings are already 36% higher than the same period in 2024 and 59% above 2023’s figures. March alone saw nearly 3,800 arrivals. Meanwhile, the number of migrants housed in hotels has ballooned to more than 38,000 – costing taxpayers £5.5 million every single day.

To make matters worse, Serco says the government hasn’t provided forecasts of Channel crossings, making it harder to plan and forcing continued reliance on expensive hotel rooms. Community resistance, housing shortages, and rising rental prices are also making it tough to find alternative accommodation.

Reform UK MP Lee Anderson also weighed in, saying Labour’s promises were “empty and misleading,” and insisted that only his party would truly clamp down on illegal migration and prioritise British citizens.

With hotel bills piling up and no clear fix in sight, public frustration is mounting – and the pressure is now firmly on Labour to deliver the crackdown they promised.
