The UK government is facing increasing scrutiny over its handling of asylum applications, which have reached a record high of 111,000, with many seeking refuge being housed in hotels. The number of asylum seekers in hotels has risen by 8% under Labour, prompting legal action from multiple councils against the use of these accommodations. Recent court rulings are complicating efforts to manage asylum housing and have sparked protests across the country. Critics claim that this situation is becoming a political battleground, with opponents accusing the government of mishandling the crisis. Meanwhile, figures show deportations have increased by 25%, contrasting with the rising number of asylum applications. As local councils consider further legal actions to address the issue, the future of asylum policy in the UK remains uncertain.
