6. Record 111,000 UK asylum applications in past year: because we are trying to clear the backlog over the last few years so we don’t have to house them hotels. Not all these people will be accepted and if we process them we can send them back if they want. High numbers of applications is a good thing it means we are not keeping people in hotels indefinitely.

   >officials are processing more cases than before the general election, meaning that over the long term there may be fewer people in the system needing housing support.

8. Reform are going to win the next election 😶‍🌫️
