Labour’s contempt for native Britons appears to grow by the day.
It has now emerged that asylum seekers are set to be housed in newly built council homes under a controversial Labour Government pilot scheme, raising serious concerns amid an already crippling social housing crisis.
The Home Office is allocating £100 million to the programme, enabling local authorities to build or refurbish properties specifically for asylum seekers. Around 900 new homes are expected to be delivered under the scheme.
These properties will initially be leased back to the Home Office for the duration of the pilot. In time, they will be absorbed into councils’ general social housing stock and made available for wider community use.
Nearly 200 local authorities have expressed interest. Five Labour-led councils have indicated a willingness to take part, including Brighton and Hove, Hackney, Peterborough, Thanet, and Powys.
This policy is being introduced at a time when vast numbers of British people remain stuck on council housing waiting lists, while many others are entirely priced out of home ownership.
That reality makes this proposal unacceptable. Ordinary Britons are once again being asked to wait, while the state prioritises others.
The British Democrats are prepared for push back against this blatant disregard for our people, and put British people first!
