New protests at asylum hotels – as UK tackles illegal food courier work
The government has agreed to give food delivery firms like Deliveroo and Uber Eats information about so-called asylum hotels.
The aim is to try and stop delivery drivers from selling their log-ins to unauthorised asylum seekers who are working illegally.
The UK government has also just introduced new laws to tackle people smuggling gangs. the number of people arriving without permission on small boats has increased this year, although it’s less than the peak of 2022.
This week there have been small protests outside a hotel in Canary Wharf said to be used as temporary accommodation by asylum seekers.
