Elon Musk has ridiculed Sir Keir Starmer's Britain after it emerged new-build homes are being reserved for migrants in a village where many locals struggle to get on the property ladder.
The decision to use four £300,000 three-bedroom houses in Suffolk as migrant accommodation has prompted fury at a time when Labour claims to be getting tough on immigration.
Tesla founder Mr Musk has now taken to X to share his view by posting a link to the Mail's coverage alongside the comment: 'This must stop now.'
It comes as Home Secretary Yvette Cooper prepares to face MPs today to give a statement on Labour's immigration policy as the government desperately tries to keep a lid on fury about Channel boats and asylum hotels.
Her Cabinet colleague Bridget Phillipson fuelled anger yesterday by defending deploying government lawyers to keep an asylum hotel in Epping open, saying the rights of arrivals trumped those of local residents.
Despite overseeing record numbers of crossings from France this year, Ms Cooper will claim this afternoon that Labour's plans are already working. She will pledge to press ahead with a shake-up of the asylum appeals process, which currently takes a year on average.
A new panel will prioritise cases involving foreign criminals and migrants living in hotels, with the aim of halving times to less than 24 weeks. She is also expected to make it harder for refugees to bring family members to this country.
However, shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has insisted the reforms merely 'tinker around the edges' and do not do enough to deter migrants from coming to Britain by illegal routes.
The Suffolk homes that attracted the attention of Mr Musk are being leased by public services firm Serco under a contract with the Home Office.

Glad he’s criticizing the Brits, but hope he spends his political budget on the USA.
Jeez…. don’t they have some extra space at 10 Downing Street where they could fit in a good number of migrants?
Didn't he already do that in 2024?
Because of its cancel culture and echo chambers, the Left around the world has become an organic cult (i.e., without the usual charismatic leader)
And they're Communists. They want to overthrow the Bourgeoisie by inviting the Proletariat into their countries.
So it makes sense on why they believe in open borders.
The British King and his government hate the British people.
You will know them by their acts.
