Sir Keir Starmer's claim that there is "lots of housing" available for asylum seekers in Britain has been slammed as "madness" by critics. The Prime Minister was asked for his response to local councils struggling to allocate housing to homeless people while competing with the Home Office's search for asylum seeker accommodation. Replying to the concerns raised by the Liaison Committee, made up of senior MPs who chair various Commons select committees, Sir Keir said: "I know, which is why I am so furious at the last Government for leaving tens of thousands of asylum seekers unprocessed, with nowhere to live other than accommodation paid by the taxpayer."
"There is lots of housing and many local authorities that can be used, and we're identifying where it can be used," he added. When pressed for specific examples, the PM said he would write to the committee with details. Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick reacted with disbelief to the comments, writing on X: "There are 1.3 million people on social housing waiting lists in England alone.
"But Keir Starmer believes there's 'lots of housing' spare we should be giving to illegal migrants. That's madness," Jenrick told his followers. "What is he going on about?"
Dame Meg Hillier, Labour MP for Hackney South and Shoreditch and chair of the Treasury Committee, also questioned Sir Keir's logic.
"I have to say in a number of our local authorities, picking up from around the table, there isn't a lot of spare housing available," she said. "If there were, then councils would be able to be dealing with it by now."
Labour has pledged to end the use of asylum hotels by 2029, partially by reallocating migrants to cheaper taxpayer-funded accommodation.

GB is LOST.
A real national leader would be driving the barbarians out.
Not inviting the barbarians in.
Starmer literally needs to be killed but unfortunately the Brits gave up their guns and this is the result. Their politicians can just jerk them around at will and they can’t do much about it.
Lots of housing available, if we have to throw every native British person out on the sreet.
And if you say anything, they threaten you with jail
That’s pretty much what Starmer said.
This arrogant twit PM needs to be run right out of the country on a rail immediately.
And it’s their own fault.
Once they get rid of all those pesky white people...
you cannot call yourself a patriot if you don't agree with the above statement.
period.
Dear Asylum Seeker/Recipient:
The Falklands Islands wool business urgently requires your presence to weave wool into carpets.
Your pay will be one pound per day plus all the mutton you can stomach.
King Charles
Remember when “asylum seeker” was someone actually seeking asylum and not an invader?
“I 100% support overthrowing any govt, ousting any politicians, that support foreigners over their own citizens.”
...and then some of the ‘sophisticated’ ‘advanced’ countries passed the 19th Amendment (or equivalent) and the floodgates then opened to societal suicide.
The Founders knew, even if they didn’t say it.
GB is LOST.
