Locals Fume After Labour Reopens Migrant Hotel

Locals living in a lush Essex town have been left seething after a migrant hotel reopened.

A hotel in Epping will house asylum seekers yet again, as Labour reopened the accommodation site after the last Conservative Government closed it.

Two locals who live in the same street as the hotel, alleged that in May 2022, her car was booted by illegal migrants living at the site and that she and her family had been spat at.

A retired mum said she herself no longer feels safe to walk out of her front door, telling The Daily Express she feels “totally” trapped.

The former fire safety trainer, who asked to stay nameless for fear of “reprisals” from the hotel security staff, said: “My son was driving and I was next to him, and we came out [of the shared drive] and all of a sudden I felt a bump and they kicked our car.”

The 61-year-old, who lives near the 79-room hotel, added: “We were spat at a few times.”

When approached, the hotel’s security staff declined to reveal to The Daily Express whether asylum seekers were living there.

Nevertheless, both residents were adamant that the asylum seekers had come back to the hotel.

An elderly neighbour added: “I can’t even begin to tell you the sort of anxiety we felt at these people just around us all the time… [with] just a barrier between us and our drive.

“I admit I don’t come in after dark. I wouldn’t have thought twice about it [in the past].”

Meanwhile, Victor Wigzell, 74, claimed he witnessed asylum seekers from the hotel stealing from the local Boots store in early 2024.

He said: “I used to see them go into Boots the chemist there, and obviously they would grab the stuff and run out. I’ve seen it. I saw it happen. I was in Boots. I just thought, well, you’re trying to help these people, some of them probably do need help.”

Wigzell, a retired architectural model maker, added: “We don’t want it, we don’t need it, we shouldn’t have to suffer all that”.

Epping Forest MP Dr Neil Hudson also said: “When this hotel in Epping was being used in the past, I know that church groups and many residents provided crucial support for vulnerable people in the asylum system here, and that they continue to do so nearby. I want to thank them for all they do and continue to do.

“I have met with the Home Office about this decision and its implementation and sought assurances about the welfare of those being housed here, sought assurances for members of the local community with any concerns about this decision, and continue to urge the Government to work with local stakeholders and services to address this situation holistically, to provide support for all affected.”

A Home Office spokesman said: “In Autumn 2023, there were more than 400 asylum hotels in use across the UK at a cost of almost £9 million per day, and in the months before the election, the asylum backlog soared again as decision-making collapsed, placing the entire asylum system under unprecedented strain.

“That was the situation the government inherited, but we have begun to restore order, with a rapid increase in asylum decision-making and the removal of more than 24,000 people with no right to be in the UK.”

Our government are not going to send these migrants back. Keir Starmer keeps going on about ‘smashing the gangs’, but don’t be deceived, it’s all rubbish, and this is how he hopes he will remain in power – these people are his votes.

Why should taxpayers’ money be used to keep these migrants in hotels? It’s an insult. Perhaps we should all stop paying our council tax, you know, the money that’s given to these leeches. British people are not a majority anymore, we are a minority. I’m afraid the indigenous people are extremely low down on Labour’s checklist of importance.

Even though no one should have to tolerate these migrants, our government is keeping them here, and we are paying to do so.

Just lock your doors. Shops look out for the shoplifters and keep your children locked up. It’s called ‘Welcome to Britain.’

We don’t want migrants in our country! When will our government realise this. We don’t want these people and we don’t need them. Perhaps people should start giving up their jobs rather than paying for these migrants, then our government will have to find another way of making money to sustain these migrants he is bringing into this country.

Starmer needs to realise how much the people of the United Kingdom despise them.

Go to the official government website and type in ‘asylum.’ It tells you what you will get, almost £50 for every person in your household, and free NHS. Now type in ‘homeless’ and it will tell you to contact your local council. No surprise they all want to come here.

Our government is openly encouraging illegal immigrants and enticing them with offers of money, food, clothes, smartphones, homes, hotels, entertainment, free electric bikes, and driving lessons. What’s not to like?

Who is responsible for this? The Home Office, and it’s our taxpayer money that is financing this, and we, the people, have a right to transparency and who is responsible, and those who are responsible should quit hiding behind their desks.

Biden Breaks Silence On Prostate Cancer

Joe Biden, 82, spoke out for the first time since his cancer diagnosis with a social media post on Monday morning.

‘Cancer touches us all,’ the former president wrote on X with a selfie of him sporting a brave smile alongside a sombre-looking former first lady Jill Biden, who was holding their grey tabby cat Willow.

‘Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places,’ Biden added. ‘Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.’

Hours after Biden’s personal office disclosed that he was diagnosed with a serious case of prostate cancer on Friday that had spread to his bones, the tweet was made.

A statement on the diagnosis said that the Biden family is deciding on treatment options.

‘Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,’ the statement reads.

‘On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,’ it adds of the grave prognosis.

Prostate cancers are provided a ‘Gleason score,’ which calculates how the cancerous cells look compared with normal cells. Biden’s score of 9 suggests his cancer is among the most aggressive.

‘While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management,’ his office noted.

The announcement came just one week after reports revealed that a ‘small nodule’ was found on Biden’s prostate that needed ‘further evaluation.’

It’s common for those of Biden’s advanced age to encounter prostate problems. More than half of prostate cancers are found in men older than 65, according to the American Cancer Society.

A hard lump or swelling that can appear anywhere on the body is called a nodule. Some may be benign and innocuous, while others may be linked to more serious health issues like infections or, in this case, cancer.

President Donald Trump released a short statement to Truth Social on Sunday, saying he and First Lady Melania Trump were ‘saddened to hear’ about Biden’s cancer diagnosis.

‘We wish Joe a fast and successful recovery,’ Trump wrote.

Biden left office as the oldest serving president in U.S. history – he was also elected as the oldest ever person to hold the highest office.

During his time back in the White House, four years after his two terms as VP, Biden reignited his Cancer Moonshot initiative.

Initially put in charge of the effort under President Barack Obama, Biden brought it back in 2022 with the purpose of cutting the cancer death rate in half by 2047. It also aimed to improve the lives of those living with cancer.

Helping to find treatments and cures for cancer hit close to home for Biden – even before his own diagnosis.

The former president’s son, Beau Biden, passed away in 2015 at the age of 46 after he was diagnosed in 2013 with glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive kind of brain cancer. His father claimed the cancer was a consequence of Beau’s exposure to military burn pits when he was serving in Iraq.

May 30 of this year marks the 10th anniversary of Beau’s death.

Biden usually spends that day with his family at his home church, St Joseph on the Brandywine in Wilmington, Delaware, for a special mass and to visit his son’s grave.

In February 2023, Biden had a cancerous lesion removed from his chest, and before entering office, had several non-melanoma skin cancer spots removed with Mohs surgery.

While still president in February 2024, Biden’s doctor declared him ‘fit to serve’ following a routine physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

Still questions over the former president’s age, health and fitness for office eventually led him to ditch his reelection campaign and let then-Vice President Kamala Harris, 60, take over.

Leaders within the Democratic Party just recently started to publicly acknowledge that Biden should not have run for reelection in 2024. Some claim that they were duped by advisers who were shielding the then-president from the public and telling members of the party he was healthy and fit behind the scenes.

Harris reacted to news of Biden’s health update by saying she and former second gentleman Doug Emhoff are ‘saddened to learn of President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis.’

‘We are keeping him, Dr. Biden, and their entire family in our hearts and prayers during this time. Joe is a fighter, and I know he will face this challenge with the same strength, resilience, and optimism that have always defined his life and leadership. We are hopeful for a full and speedy recovery,’ she former VP wrote.

Biden’s office claims the form of cancer he has appears to be hormone sensitive and might be effectively managed by various treatments, including blocking testosterone, because that hormone can help the cancer grow and thrive.

‘The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians,’ it states.

There is know doubt that Joe Biden has been sick for a long time. It doesn’t matter now whether he knew he was ill or not; the fact is, he’s not the president anymore, Trump is! Therefore, we should not be criticising him because cancer is a terrible disease, and I feel for anyone who has been diagnosed with it.

They should never allow an older person into office. As people get older, many get sick and cannot perform the tasks that are put before them. It was always apparent from the start that Joe Biden was frail – was he actually in charge? I very much doubt it, but then most of the work that they do is initiated by their advisers.

To be honest, I can’t believe that they allowed Joe Biden to suffer the way that he did while in office. Whether he has dementia or not is irrelevant; he was frail and old, but he was made to play along, and that in itself is indeed appalling.

Despite Joe Biden’s departure from government, the majority of people will still criticise him. People lack empathy, which is the reason behind this. It’s so pointless to chastise him now, so please, everyone, take a pause and show some sympathy.

School Meals Should Be Free For All Students

It’s absurd to charge kids to eat at a place where they must be all day, according to the law.

The law in the United Kingdom requires parents to make sure their children obtain a full-time education, which usually entails going to school.

Parents are legally required to ensure their child obtains a quality education, whether through school or another option, such as homeschooling.

Parents risk penalties or legal action if their child often misses school without authorisation.

If attending school is required by UK law, then the government should cover the cost of school lunches and uniforms since it claims that attendance is mandatory.

The government’s responsibility to pay for school meals and uniforms, however, is a complicated matter with many opposing viewpoints.

While some might argue that government aid is critical for equity and social welfare, others might emphasise the importance of parental accountability and financial constraints.

However, children’s free school lunches should be paid for by the government.

We shouldn’t have to pay for school uniforms and school meals while our government enforces legislation requiring all children to attend school.

Many would dispute this, saying that parents get Child Benefit paid to them, but that wouldn’t even cover the expense of school meals or school uniforms.

Some individuals with greater incomes can afford school lunches and their child’s outfit, while those living below the poverty line struggle greatly.

Those who are on benefits do get free school meals. However, a person receiving benefits in the UK who qualifies for free school meals does not receive a payment, instead, the school provides a free meal, which is valued at approximately £2.45 per day.

In the UK, the cost of a school meal varies by school and whether it’s primary or secondary, but typically it ranges from about £2.20 to £3.55, and numerous children come home extremely hungry because they do not have enough to cover the cost.

Fees vary, and they’re usually set by the school. You can expect to spend about £2 to £3 for a full meal, but a tad less for a toasted sandwich or a panini. That is not enough for a child who is at school trying to learn. After all, our children are our future, and they should be treated with respect and dignity.

Today’s school meals might well be more nutritious than the ones I had as a child, but at least the meals I had as a child filled me up so that I was not hungry until I got home, when my mum would feed me again. However, some children are not so fortunate; their parents work, and when they get home, all that is given to them is a snack, so they go to bed starving.

Also, schools are prohibited from offering sugary beverages, crisps, chocolates and sweets in the canteen or at a vending machine around the school. The concept of a tuckshop that you could go to during your break was really good and should be brought back into schools.

The average cost of a compulsory secondary school uniform and sportswear items in England is about £92.35. For primary school, the average price is around £287. However, these averages can differ greatly depending on factors like the school’s exact requirements and whether branded items are required.

There is a government grant that parents can get if they are on a low income. This is done through a school clothing grant or other local authority schemes, but my point is that if it’s illegal not to send your child to school, then the government should pay for free school meals and free uniform – not through a grant but it should be gratis because going to school is mandatory!

Keir Starmer Arson Suspect, 26, Arrested At Luton Airport

A second guy has been taken into custody by police about three arson attacks that targeted the prime minister.

The 26-year-old was arrested around 1.45 pm on Saturday at London Luton Airport on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life.

The Eastern Region Special Operations Unit counterterrorism police made the arrest. The guy has been arrested by London police.

The arrest relates to three incidents – a vehicle fire in NW5 on 8 May, a fire at the entrance of a property in N7 on 11 May and a fire at a residential address in NW5 in the early hours of 12 May.

The arrest follows the arrest of 21-year-old Roman Lavrynovych, of Sydenham, on Thursday, who emerged in court charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life.

It is understood that the three arson targets were the Prime Minister’s £2 million north London property, which was set alight on Monday night, just days after the torching of a car and an apartment which the Labour leader had once owned.

Met Police said that as all three targets of the arson attacks have ‘previous connections with a high-profile public figure’, officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command are leading the investigation.

Sir Keir has let the four-bedroom house in Kentish Town to his sister-in-law on a peppercorn rent since he moved into Downing Street last year.

The fire damaged the porch of the property, but firefighters were able to bring it under control within 20 minutes, preventing it from spreading further indoors.

The doors of two homes connected to the Prime Minister in north London both suffered fire damage within 24 hours of each other.

It came after a Toyota Rav 4 on Sir Keir’s street erupted into flames on VE Day.

It is believed that the car’s owner, the prime minister’s neighbour, believed that a defective battery was the cause of the fire. The hybrid vehicle was totally wrecked.

City mayor Sir Sadiq Khan said the three fires had left the Prime Minister’s family feeling ‘frightened’ for their safety.

He told LBC Radio: ‘Don’t underestimate the ripples of fear that [his wife] Vic and the kids felt when they will have read this stuff in the paper.

‘But for the grace of God, they are safe thankfully, in Downing Street, they’ve got a protection team.’

Someone wants to get rid of Starmer.

When crime affects Keir Starmer and his entourage, it’s classed as a ‘terror attack’, but if it were the same offence affecting Joe Public, it would be classed as ‘arson.’ Once again, it’s two-tier justice.

All of this is so strange. Strange is inevitable, though, if Starmer is involved.

This was no mastermind terrorist attack that had been set up – it was more like a Mr Bean sketch and completely nonsensical. Seems to me whoever they were, they were making a point, and something definitely smells a bit off, and why is the Counter Terrorism Unit dealing with this?

Ordinary people would have an ordinary detective dealing with this, and they wouldn’t have such a quick outcome. It would be a crime reference number, and you would be told to wait in line.

If his family had been home, things would have been quite different. But this is for sympathy, but forget it; people don’t care a monkeys, so Keir won’t get it.

Civil servants’ Laptops: Netflix, Porn, Gambling

Civil servants have been watching Netflix and accessing porn websites on their SNP government-issued laptops, the Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Government staff – most of whom were working from home – have streamed their favourite Netflix shows so many times in the past six months that officials say the number of attempts to log onto the streaming channel is too high to calculate.

On sixteen occasions civil servants have visited the x-rated Pornhub sex site and online betting sites Betfair and Paddy Power on their government devices, new data shows.

The stunning figures appeared days after a row over a new drive to get Scottish civil servants back into the office.

First Minister John Swinney said he approved of making officials work at least two days at their desk to boost productivity.

However, the plan for an average 40 percent attendance generated a backlash from staff working from home.

The bloated devolved civil service – which has grown by more than 70 percent since 2016 – is now costing the taxpayer over £600 million a year.

It was recently discovered that employees of local governments were operating from remote places, such as Eastern Europe and the United Arab Emirates.

The latest revelations follow Health Secretary Michael Matheson having to quit after he racked up an £11,000 bill on his work iPad while abroad on a family holiday – and charged it to the public purse, before he resigned his position and agreed to pay it back.

Last night, critics said taxpayers would be appalled by civil servants’ use of their official laptops and devices.

Scottish Conservative MSP Annie Wells said: ‘Hard-pressed Scottish taxpayers will be furious and appalled to learn they are footing the bill for civil servants to access dodgy websites and watch Netflix.

‘What does it say about the culture within the SNP government that staff think it’s okay to use a work device to watch pornography or place a bet?

‘Scots are paying the highest rates of income tax in the UK to support the SNP’s growing army of civil servants while our public services worsen, and yet this is what some civil servants are choosing to spend their time on.’

Benjamin Elks, of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, added: ‘Scottish taxpayers will be rightly disgusted to see what their civil servants have been up to.

‘It’s clear that these pen-pushers have too much time on their hands as they work at home, failing to deliver for hard-working Scots.

‘Anyone caught using government devices to access pornography should be sacked without hesitation.’

The frequency with which civil officials in Scotland have accessed improper websites on government-issued devices was revealed by figures obtained under freedom of information rules.

Records reveal there were at least 16 attempts to access pornography and gambling websites on taxpayer-funded devices in the past six months.

Since November, there have been six endeavours to access Pornhub, six attempts to access Betfair and four endeavours to access Paddy Power on Scottish Government devices.

Officials declined to communicate how many attempts there were to watch Netflix by civil servants, saying it would cost more than £600 to sort through the number of the attempts.

In response to a freedom of information request, it said: ‘While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the costs of locating, retrieving and providing the information for Netflix as requested would exceed the upper cost limit of £600… the Netflix dataset was too large and included too many duplicate entries to sort within a reasonable time frame and within the applicable cost limit.’

The new statistics, obtained by the Scottish Conservatives, follow public backlash over the number of civil servants still working from home despite the pandemic ending years ago.

Some employees have been told they only need to attend their offices one day a week, although the official expectation is for them to attend for two.

The work from home culture has had a major impact on the vitality of town centres, with many shops, bars and restaurants reliant on trade from office workers.

Even First Minister John Swinney has said Scotland’s Permanent Secretary should ‘go further’ in getting employees back to work.

Meanwhile, Scotland’s bloated public sector is costing the taxpayer over £600 million a year, double the bill charged eight years ago.

The devolved civil service workforce also stood at more than 9,000 last year – a 71 percent climb since 2016.

Staff at one Scottish council have been working from lands as far away as the United Arab Emirates, sparking questions about their tax affairs and other working arrangements. 

A Scottish Government spokesman said: ‘Any attempt to access, download, display, store or distribute pornographic, racist or other offensive material, or material relating to illegal activities is considered a disciplinary matter, as outlined in the Scottish Government’s IT Code of Conduct.

‘Action is taken in line with Scottish Government disciplinary policy where concerns are identified.

‘Scottish Government staff can use devices for personal use if this is within their own time, for example, during the weekend or a lunch break. This is subject to restrictions on certain activities, such as running a personal website or attempting to access inappropriate material online.

‘The Scottish Government has in place recruitment and workforce controls to reduce its workforce size.’

It’s fairly straightforward – sack them all if they don’t return to the office because we are sick and tired of Civil Servants scrounging off our hard earned taxes.

I’m not sure how this could have happened. Civil Servants have laptops that has a secure Internet Gateway Service that prevents people from accessing all sorts of sites, including such things as Amazon and eBay, so I can’t imagine for one second it would allow entry to porn sites, or any other sites that would be considered illicit or risky, and if people are foolish enough to try and access these sites, they deserve to be sacked.

I’m not opposed to people working from home, especially if they have the flu or something infectious and can’t go into the office, but could work from home, but working from home most of the time decreases production levels.

Working from home means that people can do the bare minimum without a care in the world, but they’ll still end up with a good company pension, and the foolishness of anyone using a work computer to access porn and betting sites beggars belief, but then they’re Civil Servants and they’re hardly known for their brilliance.

Let’s face it, these people have traded their original gravy train for a brand new, high-powered powered super sonic gold top cream train. Slick, fast and with no effort required. We were foolish enough to give an inch, and they have not taken 100000,000 miles. They do less and less and want more and more. Good luck getting these spongers back into the office.

James Corden Fancies His Chances Of Running For Mayor Of London After Returning From The States

James Corden is most renowned for his work as an entertainer, but a political career would intrigue him.

According to The Mail on Sunday, the celebrity, who hosted The Late Late Show for eight years in Los Angeles before moving back to the UK last year, is considering a bid for Mayor of London.

Despite being outspoken about his political beliefs, the 46-year-old actor, who made a reputation for himself as Smithy in Gavin and Stacey, has never ventured to go further.

But while at the Bafta television awards last Sunday, Corden met the hosts of the Electoral Dysfunction podcast and told Beth Rigby, the political editor for Sky News, Ruth Davidson, the former leader of the Scottish Conservatives, and Harriet Harman, the former deputy leader of Labour, about his latest goals.

A bystander said: ‘James told them he was a regular listener to their podcast and how much he enjoys the cut and thrust of politics.

‘He clearly has a lot of respect for those who put themselves out there and run for office.

‘And it was suggested that he should step into the political arena and stand in the future. There was talk that he should run for Mayor of London.’

The present mayor, Sir Sadiq Khan, was first elected in 2016 and won a third term last year. 

He is widely expected to stand down in 2028, which will mean Labour will need to find a new candidate.

Corden, who is thought to be a Labour supporter, condemned Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the party following the Conservatives’ landslide victory in 2019.

He tweeted: ‘I can’t shake the feeling that if Tom Watson had been leader of the Labour Party, the outcome of this could’ve all been so different.

 ‘Jeremy Corbyn has now lost two elections to opposition candidates who could’ve and should’ve been beaten.’

Corden and his wife Julia bought an £11.5 million mansion in north-west London on their return to the UK last year.

Nonetheless, Corden Bleu has a good chance of winning the position of Mayor of London, but haven’t we Londoners suffered enough with little Sadiq Khan? It would be like swapping one inept comedian for another.

James Corden is about as charming as a haemorrhoid, therefore, I sincerely hope he doesn’t get the job as mayor, because he’s a typical clueless champagne socialist and he should focus on his day job.

However, we may as well let him have a go, what harm can he do that has not already been done? London is finished anyhow! Let him have his delusions of grandeur.

In 2022, James Corden was banned from a New York restaurant called ‘Balthazar’ by the owner, Keith McNally, after it was reported that he was abusive and extremely nasty to staff. Do we really want someone like James to be our Mayor of London? Corden subsequently admitted that he had been ungracious and apologised, but the damage was already done, and it just shows what kind of person Corden is – entitled!

Champagne socialists are hilarious, and also dangerous, and who is going to vote for this man? He has a track record of chutzpah, and there are enough comedians in politics; we don’t need another.

This is how insignificant and laughable the position of Mayor of London is – only clowns now need to apply!

To be the Mayor of London, one needs to be somebody who values this country. The existing one doesn’t, and Corden has nothing better to do with his time.

Teens Torture And Kill Kittens In Distressing Attack

Two teenagers have been arrested after a couple of kittens ‘were tortured and killed’ in an ‘incredibly distressing’ attack.

The tiny cats are said to have been dismembered in the gruesome act, which took place on Ickenham Road in Ruislip, north west London, on Saturday, May 3.

The small animals are thought to have been brought to the scene in a duffel bag, carried by a young boy.

Two youngsters have been arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty and remain in custody.

It comes after the force released an urgent appeal to hunt down two teens after a member of the public claimed to have witnessed the terrible deed. 

Police Sergeant Babs Rock previously said: ‘This is an incredibly distressing incident which I know has caused concern in the local community.’

Since then, a representative for the Met Police has expressed gratitude to the community for reporting the incident.

They said: ‘Met officers have carried out two arrests following the deaths of two kittens in Ruislip.

‘An appeal was published yesterday (Thursday, 15 May) in relation to the incident in Ickenham Road on Saturday, 3 May.

‘Following information provided to the Met, officers arrested two teenagers on Friday, 16 May, on suspicion of animal cruelty. They remain in custody.

‘We recognise the distress this incident has caused in the area and we thank the community for sharing information with us.’

As part of their investigation, police had made CCTV footage and a picture of a duffel bag they believed was used to transport the kittens public.

The teenagers were a 16-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl who have now been arrested after the mutilated remains of two kittens were discovered in West London.

The force received a report on 3 May alleging two teenagers had dismembered the animals in Ruislip – their parents must be so proud.

If something is not done, these two youngsters will ultimately progress to vulnerable, defenceless human beings – they should be given the full scope of the law, and how did these youngsters get hold of the kittens in the first place?

Prime Minister At Record Low, Even Among Labour Voters

According to surveys, the prime minister’s unpopularity has reached an all-time low, with even Labour voters abandoning him.

A survey discovered that just 45 percent of the party faithful now have a favourable opinion of their leader, after a sharp decline of more than 17 points in the past month. 

And half of Labour voters say they have an adverse opinion of him, up from 33 percent in April.

‘This is the first time Keir Starmer has been more unpopular than popular with Labour voters,’ YouGov said.

Overall, only 23 percent of Britons have a good opinion of Sir Keir, while 69 percent have an adverse perception of him. 

This means that the Prime Minister’s ‘net favourability rating’ is -46, the lowest ever recorded.

Three of his top team – Angela Rayner, Yvette Cooper and Rachel Reeves – also got ‘worst-ever’ scores.

The pollster said Labour itself has hit ‘new depths’, with 65 percent holding an adverse opinion of the party, the most since the question was first asked in June 2017.

Only 59 percent who voted Labour last year now have a good view of the party.

‘Even among their own voters, Labour are now no more popular than the Greens,’ said YouGov.

The polling of 2,171 adults was done after Sir Keir’s crackdown on immigration was criticised by many in his party. 

It will intensify fears in No 10 that his new perspective on border control will not win votes on the Right, and even lose him support on the Left to the Greens and Liberal Democrats.

To be fair, Keir Starmer is the most clueless Prime Minister in history, but I failed to mention his three highest qualities, which are hateful, self serving and a complete turncoat.

He does have clues, an abundance of them. The trouble is he doesn’t know what to do with them, and he continues to fumble in the dark.

He is completely delusional, and I’ve never witnessed a Prime Minister upset so many branches of society. The problem is, he just doesn’t care, and Keir Starmer is signing his own political suicide.

Keir Starmer was a weak deputy leader, a weak leader in opposition, and a useless Prime Minister, and nobody should believe a word he has to say.

Liz Truss wasn’t a good prime minister, but at least she did the right thing and quit, but then I suppose that honour and Labour don’t mix especially well.

To find out how many people desire a general election right now, a vote should be held. At that point, hopefully, Keir Starmer will be gone! I would happily get out of my bed in the morning to vote him out.

We currently have an unstable government because Calamity Keir was never up to the task.

However, his popularity might have sunk, but I don’t believe the government’s popularity has been above the floor.

He was Mr U-turn as a leader of the opposition, and now that he’s Prime Minister, he’s simply demonstrating how lost he actually is, and those who voted Labour are probably regretting wasting their vote.

After all this time of open borders, I no longer recognise my country.

We have always had criminality in the UK, but nowhere near what it is now, while our government give out millions of visas, so there’s no surprise housing is lacking, and even our sewage system can’t cope.

Our Government is sinking like the Titanic, and it was a disaster giving Keir Starmer the keys to No 10, and we need to remove Captain Chaos because he’s living the dream in his own little world and wondering where the next freebie is coming from.

Profitable Migrant Hotels

Two asylum seeker hotels just half a mile apart and majority owned by the same Israeli tycoon are believed to have raked in £100 million from UK taxpayers.

The Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza in West Drayton, near London’s Heathrow airport, have accommodated migrants for more than four years, with 1,080 rooms between them.

It is thought that asylum seekers have been staying in the four-star hotels, which were once crowded with tourists, for a longer period than any other big hotel in the United Kingdom.

The Government signed contracts to take over each of them in either late 2020 or early 2021, as a soaring number of migrants continued to cross the Channel in open boats.

MailOnline visited both hotels this week and found them appearing to be completely occupied, with security guards keeping outsiders away.

Migrants said they were generally happy with their ‘very nice’ rooms, but frustrated about long delays in dealing with their asylum applications.

But local residents were less impressed and expressed their outrage about so much public money being used to house and support asylum seekers.

Analysis of the Land Registry and financial records showed a complex web of UK and Jersey registered companies behind both hotels.

But Companies House records show that at least 75 percent of both hotels ultimately belong to property investor Amir Dayan, 50, who was born in Tel Aviv, and has previously been described as one of Israel’s wealthiest men.

Mr Dayan, who is now Cypriot, has invested heavily in UK hotels, including an unknown number which have been turned over to migrants, but he remains little known in this country.

The Government has never disclosed how much it has paid the owners of individual hotels to take them over as asylum hostels.

It has been said that the rates being negotiated are discounted because every room is being booked for a contracted period of months or years.

Assuming that all 615 rooms at the Holiday Inn and the 465 rooms at the Crowne Plaza were booked solidly for four years by guests paying just £100 a night, the hotels would earn more than £ 157 million.

But one hotel industry expert said the block booking fee paid by the Government could be discounted by at least a third, making a total figure of about £100 million likely for the two hotels for a four year period.

It was announced this week that the Government’s bill for asylum accommodation, which was expected to be £4.5 billion for the decade from 2019, had soared to £15.3 billion – the equivalent of £4,191,780 a day.

Some residents had been paying monthly to use the swimming pool and gym at the Crowne Plaza when the hotel was open to the public, but leisure club memberships were suddenly terminated during COVID.

Stuart Overton, 47, and his wife Trudy, 54, who had used the facilities, said: ‘They didn’t offer the chance for us to renew.

‘Then all of a sudden, I noticed they started putting up an 8-foot hoarding wall all around the hotel, and I realised they were moving in migrants.

‘There were a lot of local people and airport staff who were using the gym and the pool, and it left them all disappointed.

‘There was a pay-as-you-go golf course attached to the hotel and, of course, that closed at the same time.

‘It is what it is, and you can’t do anything about it – but it is a bit soul-destroying seeing the Government spend a fortune on these places.’

Mrs Overton added: ‘I knew somebody who worked there, and all the staff just got made redundant. It seems so wrong.’

Milkman Keith Haines, 61, who lives in West Drayton, said: ‘What they have done with these hotels is just horrendous.

‘I see the men from the hotels walking up and down the road. They are mostly young lads.

‘As Reform said, if they were living in tents in France, what is wrong with them staying in tents over here instead of hotels?

‘At the same time, we have some of our veterans living on the streets and pensioners like my 93-year-old mum have lost their heating allowance.’

The manager of The Plough pub next to the Holiday Inn, who gave his name as Abi, 48, said: ‘My friend took over the pub a year ago.

‘We knew the pub had lost a lot of business due to the asylum seeker hotel next door. When the ordinary tourists were staying there, they would come in for a drink, but they are not there now.

‘My friend invested a lot of money, hoping that one day the hotel would go back to normal and things would pick up, However, we are still waiting.

‘It doesn’t help when we have challenges of our own. The brewery has put up prices twice since we have been here. If we had more customers, it would help compensate for that.

‘Some of the guys in the hotel are OK, but others are troublemakers and come in drunk. Their attitude can be really rude. We have had arguments with them if they are drunk, and we refuse to serve them.

‘Others come in demanding cigarettes and upsetting customers. We also see police and ambulances driving up to the hotel three or four times every week.

‘You can’t blame the owner of the hotel. He is a businessman, and he wants the best deal. He is getting 100 per cent occupancy and guaranteed money coming in.’

A 77-year-old retired Heathrow security officer who was drinking at the pub and asked not to be named, said: ‘This place used to be packed all the time. There would be lots of American and Chinese tourists coming over from the hotel.

‘Now the hotel has all these migrants in. We see them walking around in new clothes. They have all got phones. The fact that they get this free accommodation is encouraging them to come to this country.

‘The ones who come over from France are not escaping wars, because they are coming from a peaceful country. I don’t think there is any other country that gives them what we do.’

A 57-year-old sandwich van driver from Uxbridge who was also in the pub, said: ‘Having all these guys being put in hotels for free is so frustrating.

‘We didn’t look after our own in this country, yet they get these handouts. It is disgusting.

‘I was made homeless last year with my adult son when my private landlord wanted me out so she could sell up, but the council didn’t want to help me.

‘I have paid taxes all my life, but I had to stay with a friend for three months until I could sort myself out. It all makes me a bit angry.’

With its 8-foot-high hoarding wall around its perimeter, the Crowne Plaza hotel is said to have been used in recent years as a secure intake centre for new migrant arrivals who stay for seven to ten days before being moved on, although there is evidence that many stay there far longer.

The Daily Mail reported in May 2022 how it tracked one group of 23 migrants after they left the French coast in an inflatable open boat launched from a beach near the town of Gravelines at 1 am.

Using ship tracking software, the Mail watched as they were escorted by a French government vessel towards Dover before they were transferred to the Border Force vessel Hurricane.

The Mail watched as they were dropped off at Dover at 10.12 am, and boarded a bus for initial security checks before being taken to the migrant processing centre at RAF Manston in Kent.

Later on the same day, the group were seen being picked up by another air-conditioned coach and taken to the five-floor Crowne Plaza, arriving soon after midnight.

The Crowne Plaza also made headlines in July 2021 when a 24-year-old asylum seeker from Sudan died at the hotel just four months after arriving in the UK following several months of sleeping under a bridge in Calais.

Fellow asylum seekers orchestrated a protest at the time, holding signs saying ‘refugee lives matter’ and declaring the man was ‘neglected to death’.

In May the same year, a High Court judge described the hotel as ‘prison-like’ and ordered the Home Office to move a human trafficking victim out of it.

The judge said the man, who had escaped from torture in Kuwait, was not in a suitable environment for a trafficking victim.

The Home Office said at the time that it had tried to rehouse him in a new hotel in Leicester, but he was unable to make the journey due to a chronic back injury.

The Crowne Plaza overlooks a third hotel in the area – the 178-room Novotel in West Drayton – which is also being utilised for asylum seekers.

The Novotel, which is not linked to Mr Dayan, is presently home to families of asylum seekers.

MailOnline witnessed children playing on the driveway outside the hotel this week while some rode bikes around the adjacent car park used by drivers waiting to pick up passengers from Heathrow.

Other asylum seekers were caught relaxing in the sunshine on the grass outside the Holiday Inn, just half a mile away on the other side of the M4 motorway.

The hotel, which has no boarding or fence around it, is the registered office of his UK empire, but security staff were unable to say if he was there.

There was also no response to a telephone request for comment from one of his operating companies.

The Holiday Inn houses single men and women, as well as families with children, who live on different floors.

Asylum seeker Saeid Hossini, 30, a former furniture maker from Shiraz, Iran, who escaped his homeland after taking part in demonstrations against the ruling regime, said he had been staying there for a year, waiting for his asylum claim to be decided.

He said: ‘It’s OK here for a while, but if you are here for a long time it is terrible. We get three meals a day. The food is OK, but it is served on plastic plates.

‘Some people staying here are very sad and angry. You see the police and ambulances coming.

‘I am not allowed to work, but if the UK could understand me and let me be part of society, I will support myself.

‘At the moment, they don’t want to solve my problem. They want to find false things in my case.’

Saeid said he had to leave Iran to ‘protect’ himself and his family, and claimed asylum when he arrived on a flight from Istanbul, Turkey.

His Iranian friend, who gave his name as Nima, 22, and arrived on a flight two years ago, said he had recently been granted consent to stay in the UK, but was waiting for his paperwork to come through.

Nima said: ‘I have been waiting 20 days for my e-visa, and I can stay here until it arrives, but then I will have to find somewhere of my own.

‘I share a room with someone, and I have asked for my own room so I can get some privacy, but nothing has happened.

‘The food is not bad. There are fruits like banana, orange and apple, and we have cereal for breakfast, as well as oats and toast, and honey and jam.

‘I had sliced chicken and vegetables as a meal today, and sometimes we have pasta.’

Syrian refugee Brahaim Al Jasam, 23, who has been at the Holiday Inn for six months, said: ‘It’s very, very nice.

‘I share a room with my friend, and the food is good. All the people are good, and I don’t have a problem.’

MailOnline found Ramadan Faris, 30, who is an Iraqi Kurd, living with his wife in a tent underneath trees on the edge of the hotel’s grounds.

He explained he had spent almost four years in the hotel, arriving in the UK by a boat with his initial asylum request being turned down, only for him to have the decision reversed by a court in January this year when he appealed.

But he said he and his wife had become homeless and been forced to live in a tent because they had been unable to find anywhere else to go.

He showed MailOnline a letter from his doctor, saying that he was suffering from anxiety and depression, and urgently needed assistance to find accommodation to prevent further deterioration of his health and well-being.

Land Registry records show that the Crowne Plaza was purchased by a Jersey-registered company called R. Heathrow Propco Ltd, ultimately controlled by Mr Dayan for £85,329,994 on August 22, 2919.

Another company, R. Heathrow M4 J4 Propco Ltd, which is also ultimately owned by him, purchased the freehold of the Holiday Inn for £82,574,870 on the same day.

Both the companies are owned by other companies, which in turn are owned by a string of other firms which ultimately lead to a controlling company called UK Investment Company 210 which is at least 75 percent owned by Mr Dayan.

According to its latest accounts, the company presently has assets of £285 million, which are equal to its equity and liabilities.

It was said to have secured a loan of £261 million in 2018 with repayment due in ten years, and an outstanding balance at the end of 2023 of £149 million.

When our lives are falling apart, it is abhorrent that our British taxpayers are being used to pay for and house these migrants in hotels. Meanwhile, we have record numbers of children living in poverty and record numbers of homeless people.

Additionally, the UK economy grew by 0.7 percent today. It’s not a particularly spectacular number, but it’s not shocking when you consider the amount of money the government spends. It’s a Ponzi scheme, too.

However, our government is literally giving our country away. So, where will we go? And now, most people are saying that we should vote for Reform. Well, that’s all very well and good, but when you take deportations into account we are a bit bolloxed because our government can’t deport those who have permission to remain in this country (UK Law), and they can’t deport migrants for whome a decision has not yet been made (International Law). So, what miracle do you expect Reform to come up with?

Some of these migrants even said that when they get to the UK, they will send for their families to come here, and they will, and our crackpot government will make it happen!

All that money (£100 million) would keep our pensioners alive during the winter, but it doesn’t seem that we count in the UK anymore. This is why it has to stop! Because everybody in our government is getting extremely rich, and corruption is rampant. They are all compliant!

Taxi Driver Victim Of Assault

A taxi driver has claimed British Foreign Secretary David Lammy and his wife Nicola Green refused to settle a fare of almost £600 after he drove them more than 360 miles from Italy to a ski resort in France. 

The driver said he collected Lammy, 52 and his artist wife, 53, on April 10 at the town of Forli near Bologna after they had accompanied King Charles and Queen Camilla on a three-day state visit to Italy.

But he alleges that Lammy ‘became aggressive’ when asked for payment after he drove some six hours into the night to reach Flaine, a ski village in Haute Savoie in the French Alps. 

The driver claimed Lammy, who did not identify himself, ‘snatched the receipt from his hand’ when he said it was up to the passengers to pay €700 (£588) out of a €1,550 (£1,305) total fare – the rest of which was covered by a transfer service used to book the trip. 

When they allegedly refused to pay, the driver said he left them at their destination and drove to the local police station to lodge a complaint.

Upon arriving at the police station, officers reportedly found two diplomatic passports and two licence plates, as well as a coded briefcase, in the boot of the taxicab, allowing them to identify Lammy. 

Following the driver’s official complaint, an inquiry was launched by the Haute Savoie prosecutor’s office in Bonneville.

But the office also told French media that Lammy and his wife are suing the driver for ‘fraudulently removing luggage and cash’, with the Foreign Office declaring the Foreign Secretary ‘totally refutes’ the allegations made against him.

‘On the night of April 10-11, I was the victim of assault and violence by members of a British embassy during an international transfer, where they refused to pay me,’ the driver, a man from Avignon who remains anonymous, told La Provence.

‘GetTransfer, who used my services, was supposed to pay me the difference, €850 euros.

‘They stopped the payment. And on the spot, the customer snatched the receipt from my hands. It’s a well-known fact when you want to write the trip off as an expense report later on,’ the driver stated.

He added that, had he known who Lammy was, he would’ve charged ‘much more’.

‘They never said they were working for the government,’ the driver complained.

‘In this type of transfer, we’re driving special people, with suitcases and sensitive documents. All of that comes at a price. And they could very well have been armed, too.’ 

The driver had countersued, according to Bonneville prosecutor Boris Duffau, who also verified the legal action against Mr. Lammy and his wife.

Mr Duffau said: ‘The stories between the two parties are not the same. Of course, the passengers are not saying the same thing as the driver when he filed a complaint.

‘The passengers have assured us that the driver had already been paid. The driver said the opposite.’

The unidentified driver will now face a court hearing on November 3 to face the charge of ‘fraudulently removing luggage and cash’ after he drove off with Lammy’s belongings in the boot.

The driver allegedly submitted a notification to the British Embassy outlining the circumstances and asking that the fare be handled amicably, in addition to lodging a complaint with the local authorities.

An FCDO spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘We totally refute these allegations. The fare was paid in full. The Foreign Secretary and his wife are named as victims in this matter, and the driver has been charged with theft.

‘As there is an ongoing legal process, it would be inappropriate to comment further.’

The driver’s version of the transaction does sound credible, even if we don’t know how accurate these events are. Besides, Lammy is notoriously stingy with the truth.

Then you have Lammy sending taxpayer money to bomb civilians in the Middle East on behalf of a foreign state – he’s not a pleasant person, but then, neither is Keir Starmer.

I’m not surprised by this. We pay such high taxes, and when you consider the degree of expectation and greed at the highest levels of government and politics, the constant flying about, the semi-pointless meetings, et cetera. They then advise us on what to eat, but none of them follow through on it or even try to be more courteous.

Can you imagine their carbon footprint? Then they preach to the public about zero emissions – they’re just nasty and they’re in it to cheat the system.

It appears that Lammy is taking advantage of us to live off the fat of the land.

Nevertheless, I do find it weird that he declined to pay when he could have stuck it on his expenses tab for the taxpayer to pay, and this is a somewhat disgraceful episode for an official who is meant to be representing the UK.

Lammy seemingly also left things in the boot of the taxi – not only is this a security breach, but it’s also careless, and this should have been the primary headline.

However, it could even be that the driver of the taxicab drove off with Lammy’s belongings when he refused to pay.

I still can’t believe that David Lammy did not have his passport in his possession, nor did he have the coded briefcase within sight, and if this is the case, he should be sacked immediately.

How was his and his wife’s skiing trip, anyhow? This was a private break – there was no way that this expedition was official government business, but why was Lammy carrying a coded briefcase to go skiing on holiday – what was he going to leave it in his hotel room?

The taxpayer should not be paying for MP’s little indulgences. If they want nice things then damn well pay for them out of your own pocket and not ours! Households are on the breadline here in the UK while our MP’s are knocking back the caviar and sipping champagne. Then there are the lavish holidays abroad at 5-star hotels – bet there are no migrants there?

Come on, admit it, our government couldn’t care less about us, they never have and they never will. It’s all about being Lord of the Manor and taking what doesn’t belong to them – they steal, while we have to beg and borrow, and they all need to go! Where’s Robin Hood when you need him?
