interesting. I hadn’t seen that quote before.

BIossomtoes · 18/08/2025 10:18

It’s not surprising really. Anyone remember that clip of Sunak telling Tunbridge Wells party members that levelling up funding was being funnelled to Tory constituencies?

Nor will I. Awful.

We discussed it on these threads this ages ago, Labour constituencies also accommodated far more asylum seekers under the Tory government than their own controlled ones.

@Notonthestairs a quote from Simon Hart’s book seems to suggest that there were definitely political decisions being made regarding asylum hotels

Braverman is organising protests locally about Asylum accommodation. She’s suing the lone “Labour shouldn’t have cancelled the Rwanda plan” and blaming that for the backlog and need for accommodation. She’s had GBeebies down here doling and everything.

She a despicable piece of shite and I’m embarrassed that people around here think she’s the right person to represent us.

@itsgettingweird it really is a mystery how she held her seat ☹️

To be fair she shed 20,000 votes. And it was before her husband moved to Reform, which I see he’s already left.

Organising protests outside hotels in ludicrous and badly thought through. What change do they think the people inside the hotels can bring about in the government ser process?
Surely they would be better off writing to people who can have a say - like say each other(cough cough). This is showing how bad the tories and reform are being in opposition, they are failing to be effective in Parliament and resorting to desperate measures.

It's stupidity at It's best.

It's a shame they couldn't put 1% of the energy they seem to have for "protest" into ... I don't know, clearing some litter, cleaning some graffiti, popping in on a vulnerable neighbour, even just waling the neighbourhood and reporting issues.

Notonthestairs · 18/08/2025 14:32

That would suppose that change was their aim.

Being seen to complain (regardless of their own culpability) is more important than achieving something concrete.

That will hopefully haunt his entire political lifetime.

But it's not the Palestine Action Group. So that's OK.

Well this only goes to confirm that some of the trouble we have seen over the summer is football “fans” with nothing to do
