The Home Office has “squandered” billions of pounds on asylum hotels, a damning report by MPs has found, blasting the department’s “incompetence” that has allowed private companies to make “excessive profits” from the crisis. The Mail has more.
There was “manifest failure” by the Home Office to “get a grip” of contracts with private companies it appointed to house asylum seekers, they concluded.
As a result, the firms had been allowed make “excessive profits” from the Channel crisis.
In one of the most damning reports ever published into the dysfunctional department, the MPs said the Home Office was “not up to this challenge” and demanded a series of major changes.
The Commons’ Home Affairs Select Committee said it was “inexplicable” the Home Office did not require accommodation providers to assess the impact on local areas before opening migrant hotels.
It had led to “some local services experiencing unsustainable pressures”, damaging community cohesion and allowing “misinformation and mistrust to grow”.
Committee Chair Dame Karen Bradley MP said: “The Home Office has presided over a failing asylum accommodation system that has cost taxpayers billions of pounds.
“Its response to increasing demand has been rushed and chaotic, and the department has neglected the day-to-day management of these contracts.
“The Government needs to get a grip on the asylum accommodation system in order to bring costs down and hold providers to account for poor performance.
“Urgent action is needed to lower the cost of asylum accommodation and address the concerns of local communities.”
She added: “There is now an opportunity to draw a line under the current failed, chaotic and expensive system, but the Home Office must finally learn from its previous mistakes or it is doomed to repeat them.”
In 2019 the Home Office signed 10-year contracts with the three companies to provide asylum accommodation across the UK.
Serco holds the contracts for the North West, Midlands and the East of England, Clearsprings operates in the South and Wales; and Mears covers Yorkshire and the Humber, the North East, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The contracts were initially focused on providing self-catering flats and houses – termed “dispersal accommodation” by the Home Office – but expanded to hotels during the pandemic onwards amid a surge in Channel crossings.
The companies also operate large-scale accommodation centres on ex-military sites at Wethersfield, Essex, and Napier Barracks, in Folkestone, Kent.
At the time they were signed, it was estimated the contracts would cost the taxpayer £4.5 billion over a decade but officials now predict the final bill will be £15.3 billion.
According to latest figures the Home Office is supporting 103,000 migrants at the taxpayers’ expense including just over 32,000 in hotels.
Migrant hotels cost the taxpayer an average of £144.98 per person per night compared with just £23.25 for dispersal accommodation.
The report, published today, identified a catalogue of errors.

Starmer hates our country!’ Keir Starmer exposed by Liz Truss in fiery interview
Story by Jonathan Walker • Keir Starmer “hates Britain” and his claims to be a patriot are “a joke”, former Prime Minister Liz Truss said.
She hit out at the Prime Minister after Sir Keir claimed Labour were a “patriotic party” and claimed he supported flying the England flag.
BOLLOX Starmer wants to dissolve the UK into the european cess pit
In an explosive interview, Miss Truss said: “Keir Starmer lecturing people about people being unpatriotic is a joke. He comes from the strand of left wing thinking that hates our country, that loves international institutions like the UN, international law, the EU. That is Starmer. He hates our country.” Speaking to the Daily Expresso news show, Miss Truss added: “He comes from a long line of the left that think that way.”
Sir Keir has accused Reform UK leader Nigel Farage of being “unpatriotic” and “badmouthing” Britain by telling a US Congressional committee that free speech is being undermined in the UK, which it is.
But Miss Truss said incidents such as the arrest of Father Ted writer Graham Linehan, who has detained by five armed officers at Heathrow Airport over comments made on X, showed that the threat to free speech was real. The Metropolitan Police eventually announced no further action would be taken against the comedian.
She said people in other countries “are horrified by what’s going on in Britain”.
Miss Truss said: “People overseas think ‘what the hell is going on in Britain? Why are comedians arrested at the airport?’
“It’s Soviet Union stuff. It’s completely nuts.”
And she said the UK could learn lessons from the US, where Donald Trump had fought against the spread of leftish authoritarian ideology.
“I think we need America’s help. I think we have lost our way as a country. They, with the Trump revolution, have found a new path … I want their help. I am not ashamed about asking them.”
It is known that many people have written to Trump and Elon Musk, to come and stop us from sliding into a communist dictatorship over run by migrants
Miss Truss said that since leaving Number 10 she had taken up golf and was a fan of TV show The Traitors, but she has also carried out a number of visits to overseas countries including the US. Asked by Daily Expresso host JJ Anisiobi, she did not rule out a return to front-line politics.

IT IS NOT A MANIFEST FAILURE,
THEY ARE ALL IN ON IT,
IT IS NOT INCOMPETENCE
IT IS TREASON,
“Government” is the interests of large capital investors personified by the puppets who rise through the ranks of party politics. This has been the case since at least the 1688 “Glorious Revolution”. In English terms This was the sell-out of James II by John Churchill. Stephen Goodson in a History of Central Banking takes his story up:
“Although James’s army was numerically superior, he was discouraged from attacking after John Churchill, first Duke of Marlborough suddenly deserted him. According to the “Jewish Encyclopedia”, Churchill subsequently received an annual stipend of £6000 from the Dutch Jew Solomon de Medina in payment for his treasonous conduct. These vast sums of “blood money” enabled Churchill to proceed with the construction of Blenheim Palace, which was completed at his death in 1722”
John Churchill was of course Winston’s ancestor…
While of the similar time period Robert Burns wrote in respect of Scottish political traitors who surrendered their sovereignty for gold. For Burns, “English gold” represented the intangible thrust of international capital that had earlier crossed the Channel with William and Mary and saw the 1707 Act of Union under Queen Anne:
Such a Parcel of Rogues in a Nation
Fareweel to a’ our Scottish fame,
Fareweel our ancient glory!
Fareweel ev’n to the Scottish name,
Sae fam’d in martial story!
Now Sark rins over Solway sands,
And Tweed rins to the ocean,
To mark where England’s province stands–
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!
What force or guile could not subdue,
Thro’ many warlike ages,
Is wrought now by a coward few,
For hireling traitor’s wages.
The English steel we could disdain,
Secure in valour’s station;
But English gold has been our bane–
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!
O, would, or I had seen the day
That treason thus could sell us,
My auld grey head had lien in clay
Wi’ Bruce and loyal Wallace!
But pith and power, till my last hour,
I’ll mak this declaration:
We’re bought and sold for English gold–
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!
UK:
A drunken bankrupt bum buying everyone in the bar one last round of drinks…
before collapsing in a coma
Note the fence. Why do we have to fence in poor helpless refugees who are so grateful to be here and love us for having them?
Who didn’t know?
Or at least suspect — the giv’ment of the UK, US and other so-called Free Democracies are full of plutocrats who know they’ll pump more money out of the national treasury than a pensioner or a student.
This is why normal people can’t find a place to rent. The fix has been in for a long long time,
LOL..
More blather from the Septic tank..Obviously these sleuths aren’t aware that UK plc is a public private partnership..set up for stakeholder capitalists..
and immigration like political correctnesse generates billions of pounds for them..these fools come at it from the same side of the fence as all the red tops shit rags..missing the point that largesse and waste to joe bloggs is excellent returns and shareholder confidence to the hollow men..
They even obliquely reference it too…signing ten year deals for immigrant accommodation in 2019..the year Theresa Maybe stepped down from its role as imbecile prime..and the last thing she did before she left for a gong and the house of frauds was sign the WEF UN Marrakesh migrant agreement*..committing UK plc to unlimited unmitigated immigrant influx… as a matter of trade of course..
yup the border less whirled ..profits without borders.. or laws..
and to whoom the most migrant hotels
will belong to ? THE JEW !
these migrants are being ushered unto the UK for our nice benefits system
ipso facto…

“The Government needs to get a grip on the asylum accommodation system in order to bring costs down” … Wrong. The “government” needs to chase down and forcibly expel any and all orc “migrants”, invaders, and rapefugees. Invaders should get what they have traditionally received throughout history from cuntries and citizens with an interest in protecting what’s theirs, which is to be run through with bayonets, shot, lobotomized with hatchets, set on fire, and so on. Anyone and everyone aiding and abetting the invasions deserves to be chased through the streets and subjected to whatever form of execution that would ensure they suffer excruciating pain and abject humiliation.
