Labour is planning to splurge £150million next year on dumping illegal migrants in former military bases, Treasury documents reveal. The Home Office has sparked fury by planning to move MoD Bicester, RAF Barnham and RAF Linton-on-Ouse, with communities vowing to fight the plans every step of the way.
And Andy Burnham’s Government has created a £150million war chest for next year to “fund additional large sites”. Treasury documents state: “The Government is providing £150million capital investment in 2027-28 to fund additional large sites to accommodate asylum seekers and facilitate the Government’s commitment to end the use of asylum hotels.”
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: “This shows the Government has no intention whatsoever of stopping illegal immigrants or deporting them. Instead, they will be accommodated here. The Conservative BORDERS plan is instead to leave the ECHR, so all illegal immigrants can be deported on arrival.”
