Staffordshire Leader Reacts to "Squandered" Billions of Taxpayers' Money

Staffordshire County Council Leader, Ian Cooper, has expressed his discontent with the excessive spending of taxpayers' money on asylum hotels, calling it a "disgrace".

"The squandering of millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money on costly hotels is nothing short of a disgrace.”

A report by the Home Affairs Committee revealed that "flawed contracts" and "incompetent delivery" have led the Home Office to rely on hotels as a primary solution, rather than a temporary measure.
