Wait - can confirm they are - the crown plaza hotel in Surbiton- and have been for over 3 years

[@alwhyte6533]

the stars aren't awarded for the actual building. It's for the service given in the hotel. Which asylum claimants do not get.

Four star hotels are being used.The fact that these young men dont get four star service is irrelevant they are still staying in hotels that most working class people can only dream of......

Where are labour for the sverage working person in the UK? We are all really struggling with high bills or u able to find accommodation. Im in bnb for a year working snd unable to rent a place one step away grom homeless! Im not the only one . Sorry but labour first priority should be the average working person in the UK. And that includes all ethnicities and legal workers living here. But we should be labours first priority. I see no statements or plans to help

I don't understand. How is Jeremy Corbyn, the guy who brought out the youth in such massive numbers and spooked the establisment so badly that they wiped every trace of him from the party and keep fighting him to this day, "the most spectacularly unpopular Labour leader in living memory"?? It's moments like these with James that really tick me off, and it feels like he's being either lazy or disingenuous about this issue and won't budge. James, did you not see all the ridiculous stuff they put in the media about Corbyn to make him so unpopular??

[@udreamawake]

Such a valid point. JOB will never ever admit he got that wrong. He will never admit he is partially to blame for the situation we are in due to how he hated JC more than the Tories. Even now JC tweeting about the inhumane asylum policies. Always he has been on the right side of history. JOB infuriates me also for the same reasons.

[@eddiecalderone]

A huge amount has been written about Corbyn’s anti-Semitism and links to anti-Semitism. I suspect by now that minds have been made up on every side and that the people who are willing to pretend that it is all a smear campaign organised by the right-wing media have deluded themselves beyond redemption. But for me, in his lifetime of support for anti-Semitic bigots wherever in the world he could find them
