Conservative MPs have reportedly expressed growing frustration with their party's messaging on asylum seeker accommodations, warning that the issue is fuelling public discontent ahead of key elections.
According to sources within the party, several Tory MPs have raised concerns that the government's approach to housing asylum seekers in hotels is damaging their electoral prospects. Many fear that voters perceive the strategy as ineffective and costly, further eroding trust in the Conservative leadership.
Internal Dissent Over Immigration Strategy
Insiders reveal that backbenchers have privately criticised the party's communication on immigration, arguing that it fails to address public anxieties. Some MPs have even suggested that the current policy risks alienating core Conservative voters.
"The messaging is all wrong," one MP reportedly said. "We're not convincing anyone that we have a grip on this issue."
Public Backlash and Electoral Risks
The controversy comes amid increasing scrutiny over the government's use of hotels to house asylum seekers, with local communities often voicing opposition. Critics argue that the policy places undue strain on public services and lacks long-term solutions.
With elections looming, Tory MPs are urging party leaders to adopt a clearer and more decisive stance on immigration to avoid further backlash from voters.
