🏘️ Landlords are being offered rents of up to twice the market rate to house asylum seekers, prompting accusations that British families are being pushed aside under Labour.
The deals, offered by accommodation provider Clearsprings Ready Homes, include three-year contracts and payments covering bills, council tax and maintenance.
One landlord in Southwark, south London, said he had been offered £4,500 a month for a three-bedroom flat to house migrants. That compares with £1,790 a month offered by Southwark Council for the same property to house social housing tenants.
😱 The landlord described the offer as “nuts”, claiming he would have had to terminate his existing agreement with the council and risk leaving families homeless to take it up.
He told The Sun: “I already rent to Southwark Council, and they are able to offer significantly more than the local authority, which to me is bizarre.”
He added: “I didn't go with them because it would have meant terminating my contract with Southwark Council and putting families at serious risk of homelessness. I am not prepared to do that.”
😡 The revelation has sparked criticism over the use of public money to secure accommodation for asylum seekers while families struggle to find affordable homes.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: “It is a day of shame for Labour that hard-working Brits are being kicked out of flats so they can be let out at twice the price for illegal immigrants.”
Reform UK's Robert Jenrick also criticised the arrangements, saying: “This is everything that's wrong with broken Britain.”
He added: “The Government is spending millions of pounds of taxpayers' money to roll out the red carpet for illegal migrants, while leaving domestic abuse victims as afterthoughts.”

Channel 4 is supposed to be politically impartial.
Just weeks ago, Channel 4 aired what I believe was a failed hit job on Reform UK over political donations.
Now Labour Prime Minister Andy Burnham is being handed a primetime appearance on Celebrity Gogglebox.
Where are the invitations for Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch, Ed Davey and Zack Polanski?
Channel 4 is increasingly looking like a mouthpiece for the Labour Party.
They aren't even trying to hide it anymore.

There’s already a mixed pond ( where you ID however you like) & a men’s pond. There is zero reason for males to be in the women’s pond or women’s changing rooms. Good luck @SexMattersOrg
Sex Matters is heading to the High Court on 3rd and 4th November.
We’re challenging the City of London Corporation’s decision to allow men who identify as women to use the Ladies’ Pond, including its changing rooms and showers.
The City has a lawful option: keep the Ladies’ Pond for women, the Men’s Pond for men and the Mixed Pond for both sexes. We’re asking the court to hold it to the law.

👉 On permitting Jackdaw, the Government were congratulating themselves for a “pragmatic” decision that was good for UK jobs and UK businesses, UK investment and UK tax receipts.
All of these stand for Rosebank.
On the oil “being exported” -
🔹 1 - Yes, to Europe, for refining. It’s then able to come back as the diesel, jet fuel and other products we all use. It doesn’t get stuck in the Straits of Hormuz.
🔹 2 - Since when did we not support UK exports?

I agree with this completely.
If far left protesters want to smash up British towns and cities on 20 November, let the police deal with them.
We've seen the violence and disorder across Europe over the past fortnight, with Palestinian flags and keffiyehs prominent at many demonstrations.
The last thing we need is counter protests muddying the waters and giving the media an opportunity to paint the right in a bad light if violence erupts.
If extremists choose violence, let them disgrace themselves in front of the entire country.
20TH NOVEMBER UK PROTESTS: MY ADVICE? STAY HOME.
If the planned protests by the left go ahead, my advice is simple. Do NOT counter-protest.
I understand the anger. I understand the temptation to turn up and make your voice heard.
But if things turn ugly, you risk being dragged into the fallout, regardless of your intentions.
Sometimes the smartest move is knowing when not to get involved.
Don’t give anyone the opportunity to turn the situation against you.
Just my take on the upcoming protests.

Let me remind you of Lord Hendy of Richmonds words in @UKHouseofLords on this issue. Why are shared use bus boarders still being built in Colchester? @andyburnham why are you not helping? Did you read our petitions handed into @10DowningStreet last week? youtube.com/watch?v=uYi31Ham…

Dear Labour
You literally don’t understand why construction companies aren’t building masses of houses! And why they won’t do what you tell them.
Let me help you.
▪️There aren’t enough builders, bricks, or cement. Businesses forecast years in advance for developments. They can’t ramp up in a year.
▪️Developers have cash flow and budgets, unlike the government they can’t print money and double in size in a year. And you just screwed the economy by raising taxes and minimum wage.
▪️From 2027, imported raw materials like steel and cement face a new carbon taxes of up to 24%. Gained can pretend he’s saving the planet) Developers have no idea what the hit will be. And so cannot build blind.
▪️If housing isn’t financially viable, builders won’t build. Labour is demanding cheap entry level homes. But developers make little profit on these, so little that only building these will mean they can’t pay the wage bill! So they have mixed price developments. Higher priced houses aren’t selling because the economy is wankered (technical term)
▪️The state of the economy means huge job insecurity, why would Developers risk over supplying a market that is stagnant?
▪️New house building and completions are down in many places because over supply will see a collapse in prices and developers would make a loss. It would be insane for a business to plan to make a loss.
▪️ net zero targets have left thousands of finished homes unable to be connected to the grid! Brilliant. Why would house builders risk building and not being able to sell because they can’t get electricity.
Had Labour had any business experience or economic knowledge they would know that councils have to heavily subsidise new developments … but they have no money!
Governments can’t force businesses to harm themselves. It’s an idiotic promise made because you don’t understand how profit works.
You’re welcome

Doesn’t the Renters Rights’ Act apply then, when it comes to evicting a woman who’s fled domestic violence, provided she can be replaced by a man who’s come here illegally in a boat? Perhaps you could please clarify @AngelaRayner, as a matter of urgency?
