Home Office has 'had to find extra £2billion' to fund hotels for asylum seekers as numbers housed in hotels 'passes 50,000' at cost of '£6million a day' The Home Office is 'spending £6million each day' on hotels for asylum seekers Migrants hotels in 43 of England's 48 counties, leading to '£2billion overspend' Tory MPs hope the controversy resolves before the next election campaign
The Best Western Premier Yew Lodge Hotel in Kegworth has stopped taking bookings for the foreseeable future
The Home Office has faced pressure from the Treasury to cut back on 'expensive' hotels while Suella Braverman's team has called for a bigger budget.
A package of efficiency cuts has now been agreed by the Treasury to help plug the £2billion overspend on migrant hotels,
A senior Whitehall source told the Telegraph: 'The Treasury has been frustrated that the Home Office is placing migrants in expensive hotels and has pushed them to look at cheaper alternatives.'
There have been fraught discussions between the Home Office and Treasury officials in recent weeks about the ballooning cost of hotel accommodation ahead of next week’s Budget.
Yesterday, it was reported a luxury spa hotel in a rural Leicestershire village has closed to guests and cancelled existing bookings so it can provide accommodation for 250 asylum seekers.

Why do they need en-suite hotel rooms?. We chucked up Nightingale Hospitals in a matter of weeks and you could do the same for dormitory accommodation for these people for a fraction of the cost.  |

Because the Home Office demand high standards for immigrants arriving illegally while happily ignoring citizens in all sorts of dire straits including men they were more than delighted to send off to kill people so there could be rejoicing in the corridors of westminster and the bars of the city

No matter what we do it costs the taxpayers a Kings Ransome every 24/7, and not just in accommodation either, Border Control and Police Wages, Security, transport costs, legal fees, even Court time, there is talk about refurbishing two no longer used RAF Bases, more of our money
If we can and do move them to Rwanda costs of flights, and pay for accommodation there, if we deport them back to their own country same thing, FFS we cannot deport Convicted criminals back to their own countries the plane leaves half empty.
We are too soft, having said that we do need to help genuine Asylum Seekers if we can , but if we do give them leave to remain it should only be for a specified time and their situation reviewed to extend it and they must return home as the situation there has changed for the better.

This is going to get interesting in April, down here the holiday season starts at easter so I wonder what those hotels who are full to the brim with illegals will tell their cleints who want a holiday? |

Well it's make or break now for the Tories, this taboo issue and Brexit is the decider on who gets the keys to No10 at the next GE.
Sunak is turning out to be quite impressive at PMQ, as usual Starmer is red faced and clueless.
It is beyond lunacy why the UK is accepting illegal migrants who have set up a cross channel shuttle service for illegal migrants, and that little dictator Napoleon is demanding money off us. Money for doing what? he's all but hiring out the dinghy's so they can set sail, and then refusing to have them escorted back, I have no idea why we are still pondering and frightened to upset the EU.
