A wave of protests outside hotels used as temporary accommodation for asylum seekers is expected in the coming days.
It comes as the latest figures showed there were more than 32,000 asylum seekers in hotels, marking a rise of 8% during Labour’s first year in office.
Stand Up To Racism is preparing to hold counter-protests outside hotels housing asylum seekers on Friday, including in Bournemouth, Cardiff and Leeds, with further demonstrations expected on Saturday.
Meanwhile, councils across the country controlled by Labour, the Conservatives and Reform UK are investigating whether they could pursue legal challenges against asylum hotels.
