Labour's attempt to house migrants in new-build homes proves they 'DON'T CARE' about our safety

Do you remember this? We rebuild Britain with our national missions, driven forward in the harsh light of accountability by the milestones for this Parliament. Britain rebuilt with 1.5 million new homes. So the security I enjoyed when I was growing up, the base camp aspiration of home ownership doesn't move further and further away from working class families like mine. Yes, Labour swept into power on the promise to build 1.5 million new homes but who would be moving into these new homes? Well at GB News we've been shouting from the rooftops warning that Labour is planning to move asylum seekers, illegal migrants and foreign nationals into brand new housing developments near you. And people on the left accused us of peddling rubbish. They accused us of racist scaremongering. Well now they all look very stupid because 21 brand new houses worth around £250,000 each are apparently being used to accommodate 83 asylum seekers in Stoke Heath in Shropshire. Residents told The Sun that they were originally led to believe that these properties would be used for affordable or social housing. Instead the homes have been earmarked for asylum seeking families, with one family already reportedly moved in and dozens more expected to arrive. Now locals say that they feel blindsided. They say that nobody asked them, nobody consulted them, nobody explained why a development that they believed would help local housing needs has ended up being used for something completely different. More than 7,200 households are already on Shropshire's social housing waiting list. Some local families wait years for a suitable home. Now these families have worked hard, many of them paid taxes and done pretty much everything that society has asked of them. Charities estimate that up to 4,000 veterans need urgent housing support every year and around 300 to 400 veterans are sleeping rough. The Prime Minister pledged to give them homes. Every town and city in this country. People who were prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, who put their lives on the line to protect all of us, but who will not have a safe place to sleep tonight. We cannot stand by and let this happen anymore. So today I can announce that this Government will respect that service. We will repay those who served us and house all veterans in housing need. Homes will be there for heroes. Yeah, but despite Geir Starmer trying to make out that veterans will have priority housing, the reality is that if somebody hops on a dinghy, crosses the channel and breaks into Britain, they could be housed before a veteran or family that have been waiting years for a home. And the Tories aren't blameless either. Now they opened the floodgates and left us in this mess. In fact, the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is blaming the previous Conservative Government for the Stoke Heath development. In a statement released this evening, a Home Office spokesperson said new homes should never house asylum seekers. Earlier this year, the Home Secretary introduced robust processes to ensure new build sites like Stoke Heath can never be considered again. But even if Shabana Mahmood has now banned migrants from being housed in I can confirm today that led by the work of my right honourable friend, the Home Secretary, we will be ending the costly use of hotels to house asylum seekers in this Parliament. What she didn't say is that illegal migrants would be turfed out of hotels and into your communities, into HMOs and into army barracks. Just last week, the Home Office announced plans to house over 3,000 migrants in three more military barracks, including Linton-on-Ouse, which has a population of just around 800 locals. They'll probably be outnumbered by illegal migrants. Locals in Crobra have been forced to patrol their own streets after over 500 single male migrants were moved into barracks in the town. I mean, how long before you have to start doing that in your town? When the government dumps hundreds of legal migrants into communities up and down this country, they're not thinking about the changes that people will make to their way of life. No letting kids walk to school on their own, not letting their daughters go out at night. They don't care about our safety. They don't care about how we feel. They don't care about our way of life. You've worked hard for your money. So why does it feel like your pounds are constantly losing value? Your savings should grow and be safe. It's common sense, isn't it? But here's the truth. Policy impacts inflation, which silently erodes your purchasing power. Don't let inflation decide what your money is worth. And when your money is with your bank, the bank uses it for their purposes. They lend it. They profit from it. Your money works hard for your bank, when it should be working hard for you. This is why people are seeking alternatives to traditional bank savings accounts. With a tally money account, your pounds are automatically converted into real physical gold held securely in your name. Not a promise. Not just a number on a computer screen. Real gold in a vault. And the clever bit? You still have instant access for transfers and payments. Through the Tally Money app and Tally Debit Mastercard, you can transfer funds or spend it in any currency. Gold has been trusted for thousands of years. Now, with Tally, it works more like everyday money. So if you're tired of your savings, not keeping up with the cost of living, and you'd rather own something real, take a look at Tally Money.

Conservative MP Esther McVeigh. And political commentator, Kai Wilshaw. There we go. All right. I'll start with you, Kai Wilshaw. What's going on? I mean, we wanted a solving of the situation. I can remember before they were elected, Angela Rayner getting herself all tied up in how many new houses would be built and where the houses would go and who would get the houses. And then she messed up as housing minister, obviously not paying the right amount of stamp duty. I thought I'd just drop that in. Why not? Why not? Have a jab. She'll be back. There was Steve Reid who didn't know how many houses had been built. I don't know if he knows where he is. I wonder if we can get that clip and play that again at some point during the show. But Kai, I mean, seriously, what on earth are they thinking? Give them a new house. Yeah. And look, I'm not going to. There are some people on the left, like the Green Party in particular, right, who say that illegal migration and general migration doesn't have any impact on public services and housing. I think we are well past that point. Right. Now, what is really galling about this is that these are new builds that could have gone to people in that local area, young parents, young families. And Shobhana Muda said that needs to be stopped. And I think the reason why that happened is, as the government tends to do, is outsource lots of this capacity to Serco. But it also has a mandate since 2023 into the Conservatives, and I think rightly so, to make sure that people are spread more equally across the country. And so that's how this has happened, where Serco has sort of not been able to find somewhere more appropriate and so has found these places to put people in. You know Serco are making billions out of the government and out of the taxpayer. And this is absolutely in their interest to allow this to continue. And I think at one point, I think they said that if Nigel Farage they would refuse to follow through with what he was expecting. Which is why it would be so hard to basically unpick this because a lot of people make money out of this illegal migrant industrial complex. Look, Shobhana Muda said that she will ban the use of new homes for illegal migrants. But in some respects, I don't care. But the issue isn't the method of accommodation or the nature of the accommodation. I don't care whether they're getting a pillow, a chocolate on their pillow, or whether they're embedded in communities in Abiturmos, or whether they are taking up space in army barracks. The problem is that they are here and that they are not detained, and many of them are dangerous. Now, the Labor Party seems to think, well, we solved the hotel issue and we solved the problem. That's not what people really care about. They care about the fact that communities are being overrun by many young men who are dangerous, particularly to women and girls. That doesn't change where you are living. You know, that remains a consistent problem. I spoke to Tony Abbott on my show, GB News show Fire at Will, captured on YouTube, ladies and gentlemen, on the GB News YouTube channel. And he basically said, if you solve this problem correctly, as in if you put the right disincentives in place, the boats stop coming in Australia in a matter of weeks. And again, you have people like Kai who say, well, this is a complicated problem. You know, we need to look at push factors, all that sort of thing. If you put the right disincentives in place, if you detain people and you say, right, you're going to be locked up until you decide to go back to your country of origin or some proxy island somewhere that we choose, you know, that will solve the problem. But until you do that, unfortunately, they'll keep coming. Well, I agree with that. You've got to stop any pull factors. You've got to put deterrence there. Well, I tell you one thing, offering people a brand new house is not going to stop anybody coming here. They're going to be rubbing their hands and having a laugh. This is outrageous. No two ways about it. Equally, I've just spoken to the local MP, Mark Pritchard, a Conservative MP, and he said the local community agreed to these houses being built because they thought they were affordable houses for them. So it's in a very rural, isolated area. There is no public transport, hardly any sort of public services. So what, are we going to be giving them cars? Are we going to give them taxis? Are we going to be chauffeuring them around? This is not right. We do not want detained, yes, and deported, yes, not living the high life. They must look at this and think I have gone to heaven. I'm looking at those houses. They are amazing. And you've got what, 7,000, over 7,000 people on the social housing list, been there for years. All these people are higher priority, veterans, people with kids, people who are working. And yet these people have come in and been put in there. I've died for one of those houses when I was a child. They've got underfloor heating, they've got all the latest. Probably air conditioning. But what's more likely is if you are an asylum seeker in this country, you're going to be sent increasingly to these new detention centres that are being built, the five key sites that are going to have 5,000 people in them, the army barracks. They're not detention centres, they won't be detained. I don't quibble over wording, Will. I think we have more important things to talk about here. But also you say, one thing that Will said. Hold on, that is the fundamental principle. It would be a lot more acceptable if perhaps they were detained and weren't allowed to leave, but they're not detention centres. And there's two things, they're not detained and they're not detention centres. And the other thing is, I don't believe all of these are asylum seekers either. They're ushering them through, giving them a title, staying in the country. Actually they're not. If they've broken into our country, they're not. If they've passed through various safe countries on the way here, they are not. They are people who are coming here because they're rubbing hands, economic migrants, because we're getting given an easy ride, particularly under this Labour government. The majority of those will be going to these new whatever centres you want to call them. There are also detention centres being built at the same time to ensure that removals can take place from there. The fact is, the numbers in hotels have gone down, well they've halved since their peak, since December has gone down from 30,000 to 21,000. They've gone to all sorts of types of accommodation down there. And the cost, and Will says it doesn't matter where they are, but it does because the average cost of a hotel room is £170 and the average cost of one of these places is £27. They've gone from a hotel room to a brand new house. Well 20 of them have, the majority won't. I'll respond to that. It matters where they are housed, you're right, but it matters more that they're not here at all. Indeed, but that is only something you can say as a commentator on a sofa, you can't say that as a politician, because it's not the reality. They're here, so we have to decide where they go. If you're a politician you could try and make changes to make that a reality. That's what they're doing. No they're not. Yes they are. What they're doing is accommodating people in the right place. They're not stopping them. And then what they're doing now is trying to drift them into all communities right across the country. But the numbers coming in on illegal crossings has shot up here, right, so that's what they're doing. We need to stop them, we need to stop them, we need to deport them, but most of all we certainly can't be just allowing them to stay in the country as asylum seekers. Kai, this is common sense and I need to try to get this into your head. Go on. It's so simple for everyone. If you said to these people, A, we're going to put you into a dodgy little camp on an army barracks, you won't be allowed to leave, you'll get three meals a day and it won't be nice food, it won't be gourmet, we'll give you gruel, you're enough to live on, that's it, and you will never ever be allowed to settle into this country, ever. You'll be returned somewhere, ideally your country of origin, but if not you'll never be allowed to settle. How quickly do you think that people will stop coming? Quite quickly. A number of those things are happening already, Will. No, the biggest mistake, and I'll say this again, the biggest mistake Starmer did on day one was to get rid of Rwanda, a third country. Should you destroy your passport, we can't send you back to your home country, we needed a third country and I'm afraid Starmer didn't even let it, didn't even try and let it work. He was, give them more safe passengers and more safe routes into this country, let people in, we'll smash the gangs, we'll pay France 600 million quid, nothing, nothing has worked. Look, I also agree. Siobhan is talking the talk, but I'm afraid the party ain't behind her on any bit of this. She's copying what Denmark's doing or trying to, but really nothing is happening, but it isn't. Everything she said has not come to pass. But it is happening, the legislation's going through Parliament this week, is it not? No, it isn't. Is that meaningless to you? Yes, well, yes. Refugee status is... All of a sudden, for those on an indefinite leave to remain, that is all reversing, all the stuff that she wants to do there. Andy Burnham is definitely wobbling all this. Andy Burnham's going to be a new private minister. Trust me, this is going to be easy access into the UK, open door policy, which has always been Labour's policy. Think about the social media clips they're going to have in their new houses when they make videos. Look at this house. Exactly. It's going to be, and then obviously they're going to be like adverse. TikTok sensation. It's amazing the tone of those videos, they're mocking us. You can tell, absolutely mocking us. They know that this is absolutely taking the meek. Absolutely. They know it. Has anybody offered you one of those new houses? No. I've got to take it. You know, like I said, all those families wanting it, all veterans, everybody, you know, wanting it, are homeless veterans. No, no, they haven't. You know, they are laughing at us as well. I mean, you must understand from all those countries that they come from, that would never happen if you landed on their shores. Many of them have come from countries where there's no conflict at all. They just fancy, you know, they want to live for a little bit of time here for free. They might be joining gangs. I should play up the trauma from my convict past, the intergenerational trauma that I've experienced. Maybe that's enough to make me an oppressed minority. Are you wanting reparations? He wants us to do a land acknowledgement. Why not? Why not? I was going to say I might try and play on the slave trade, but I think a lot of people have already done that one. I mean, it's just ridiculous. The whole thing is ridiculous and it needs to stop. I don't know why the government are not focusing on it. They have a huge majority. They could make some changes, but they don't appear to want to. But in a statement, the Home Office said new homes should never house asylum seekers. Earlier this year, the Home Secretary introduced robust processes to ensure that new build sites like Stoke Heath can never be considered again.
