Sir James Cleverly condemned Sir Keir Starmer's assertion that there is plenty of housing available for asylum seekers. He claimed this statement highlights a disregard for the struggles of hardworking young British people facing homelessness. With approximately 1.3 million individuals waiting for social housing, Cleverly expressed frustration that illegal migrants receive aid while many locals are left unsupported. Starmer attributed the issue to prior government negligence, though he faced pushback when questioned about the reality of available housing by Meg Hillier, the Committee Chair.
Sir James Cleverly accused Sir Keir Starmer of prioritizing asylum seekers over the needs of hardworking young Britons, expressing outrage at claims of ample housing for them.
Cleverly noted the paradox of rising homelessness among Brits while illegal migrants receive immediate accommodations and support, highlighting a stark disparity in housing access.
Starmer deflected criticism by blaming the previous government for the backlog of asylum seekers, but was challenged on the availability of housing by Committee Chair Meg Hillier.
Despite the assertion that 'there is lots of housing,' local authorities are struggling with limited resources to accommodate a growing population in need.
