YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe last Conservative government "got it wrong" on using hotels to house asylum seekers, a Tory shadow minister has admitted to LBC's Tom Swarbrick.
Shadow home secretary Chris Philp denied the party was being hypocritical after leader Kemi Badenoch called for more Conservative councils to launch legal challenges over asylum hotels.
Her words came after Epping Forest District Council secured a temporary injunction from the High Court, blocking the use of the Essex town's Bell Hotel as accommodation for asylum seekers on planning grounds.
Ms Badenoch's comments come despite the fact that the growing reliance on hotels to house asylum seekers started in 2019 under the Tories' rule.
