Commentator Alex Armstrong has declared it is "not controversial" to demand British citizens have priority of housing in the UK, following the latest outrage over migrant hotels.
The Home Office has announced it will remove Stay Belvedere Hotels (SBHL) from running asylum accommodation, with the contract set to end in September 2026.
SBHL will be replaced by several providers including Corporate Travel Management (CTM), which previously managed the controversial Bibby Stockholm barge.
The decision follows an examination that found "concerns about its performance and behaviour as a Government supplier".
The move comes after the Government's admission that migrant hotels will remain operating for "years to come", despite Labour's pledge to cut down their use "within a year".
Speaking to GB News, Armstrong hit out at the latest decision by the Government authorities, claiming it should be "British citizens" who have priority of accommodation, rather than illegal migrants.
Armstrong said: "Is anyone surprised? I don't think anyone is, really. I think we all knew this was coming.
"One of the Angela Rayner's first acts was to scrap one of Rishi Sunak's key policies, which was going to be British homes for British people first, which is how it should be."
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Defending his argument further, Armstrong declared that it is "not controversial" to want Britons to have housing priority in their own country, and it is "neither left or right wing" to believe so.
Armstrong added: "If you're a British citizen of this country, you should get priority housing. I don't think that's controversial.
"I don't think that's left or right wing, that is just the way it should be in Britain."
Noting the current state of Britain's migration system, Armstrong stressed that more taxpayer money will be "spent on migrant hotels and housing programs" instead of helping "Britons get on the housing ladder".
Armstrong stated: "Unfortunately, now we're going to find more of our tax money going to these new programmes when actually, quite frankly, we know that where they're going to go is the foreigners who have not contributed, their families haven't contributed to our economy, they haven't contributed to our society, and they're probably not going to assimilate.
"So young lads like me who've come from London, who come from poor families, who still can't get on the housing ladder, are going to be paying more taxes to help other people who have come to this country, potentially illegally, before I'm even given the opportunity to get on the housing system."
Minister for border security and asylum, Angela Eagle, said: "Since July, we have improved contract management and added more oversight of our suppliers of asylum accommodation.
"We have made the decision to remove Stay Belvedere Hotels from the Home Office supply chain and will not hesitate to take further action to ensure Home Office contracts deliver for the UK."
