UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

I'm not clear what you are angry about.
She is clearly stating that temporary accommodation has now expired and a better plan needs to be decided. The amount of articles stating that the hotel placements are a horrible idea that forces people to live in a single room without food preparation areas, without clothing washing and drying facilities, and without private areas are awful has been numerous. The link wasn't her telling asylum seekers to go home, it was standing in parliament calling on the government to stop putting people in unsuitable locations.
This is precisely the conversation we need to have because ignoring it leads to stronger reactions, and ultimately right wing rhetoric of "stop the boats", "deport to Rwanda", and burning the hotels, etc.
Advocating for the people to live in a Holiday Inn for years at a time shows such little empathy towards these people fleeing the horrors of their home countries.
