UK: 93,000 illegal migrants housed at taxpayers’ expense, Labour government accused of ‘making them disappear’

The Labour government continues to enable illegal migrants — mostly Muslims — from Africa and the Middle East to invade Britain at taxpayer expense, with no respite in sight. Economic costs are one thing, but the cost in terms of safety and national security is incalculable as the rates of crime, particularly rapes, and the threat of jihad attacks continue to rise. While law-abiding British citizens are scanned at airports and wait in long security lineups (precisely due to the recognized jihad terror threats to the West since 9/11), these unvetted illegals are swarming into the UK on a routine basis.

“Labour accused of ‘encouraging illegal migrants to disappear in Britain’ as more than 93,000 housed at taxpayers’ expense,” Edward Griffiths, GB News, August 27, 2026:

Labour has been accused of “encouraging illegal migrants to disappear in Britain” after the Home Office revealed that more than 93,000 have been housed in accommodation across the country at taxpayers’ expense.

The new data showed over 73,000 migrants were housed in “non-hotel accommodation” in the 12 months leading up to June 2026.

The figure is three per cent higher than at the end of June 2025 and makes up 78 per cent of all asylum seekers in the UK.

Around 17 per cent of asylum seekers remain in hotel accommodation.

Chris Philp MP, Shadow Home Secretary, response to asylum accommodation release: “Labour are moving illegal immigrants out of hotels and into flats in your building, and now they are telling them to go and disappear without a trace.

“More than 93,000 people are now being housed at the taxpayer’s expense, and the number crammed into dispersal accommodation has climbed by 12 per cent under Labour.

“Illegal immigrants should be deported in the first place, and we should certainly not be encouraging them to just disappear.

“The next Conservative government would deport every illegal immigrant, leaving the ECHR and any other obligation that stands in the way in order to get it done, because the surest way to empty the accommodation is to make plain that nobody who crosses the Channel gets to stay.”…
