Labour must shut down all asylum hotels “a lot quicker” than its current plan to put a stop to them by the end of the current parliament in 2029, the chairman of the party’s red wall group of MPs has said.
Jo White, the MP for Bassetlaw, who leads a caucus of around 40 MPs in the party’s traditional heartlands, said Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ plan to axe the use of asylum hotels by 2029 needed to be sped up.
