        Highlighting that our asylum system is broken and really needs sorting out so we don’t need to use hotels to house asylum seekers is not pandering to the far-right.

        It’s actually Labour policy.

          You can do that without saying that the local hotel has been taken away from locals by asylum seekers, and that it needs to be ‘given back’. The rhetoric is clearly inflammatory.

            You are clearly rephrasing this to manufacture dissent.

            Saying that a local hotel has been taken away from locals for asylum seekers and needs to be returned is just trying to get the government to talk about what the long term solution is. We are longer ruled by Tories, so the standard can improve.
