Keir Starmer angry the last government left him with 'a mess as big as this'

Skitstama is travelling to Turkey today. He has a meeting with President Erdogan scheduled. But he's been talking to the cameras about the latest report on the Home Office and asylum hotels. Your own Home Secretary and now the Chair of the Home Affairs Committee has said that the Home Office isn't fit for purpose and should be split up between immigration and crime. Has the time come to do this? The Home Office is in chaos, isn't it? Well, we inherited a huge mess in relation to pretty well all departments in government, and that includes the Home Office. If you take the issue of asylum hotels, for example, we had years under the previous government where they didn't process claims. So tens of thousands of people didn't have their claims processed. They were then housed in hotels. That was the policy of the last government. The 400 at the height of it is now about 200. I'm determined that we will close those hotels. We're processing the claims much more quickly. And where people have got no right to be in our country, we're removing them at a higher rate than the best part of a decade. So we're taking action. But I can't tell you how frustrated and angry I am that we've been left with a mess as big as this by the last government. Ledgers from Skitstama in Turkey there.
