This statement from people living in asylum hotels in Greater Manchester is a compassionate response to the rise in violent protests written by people who are living it every day. I hope it leads to more nuanced conversations and understanding. Thankyou to everyone involved in putting it together.
Recently, we have seen an increase in protests and demonstrations outside asylum hotels, driven by misinformation and fear.
Greater Manchester Asylum Hotels Group have written a statement to respond directly to the concerns and questions they’ve heard from local communities.

From the Government's white paper on immigration to the disturbing comments made by the Prime Minister, it's been a week of hostility.
But in the face of such hostility, we are finding moment of hope and happiness.

Let's be very clear who is responsible for this disgraceful hotel bill.
The last Government created an asylum backlog and forced people to live in appalling conditions for years on end.
It chose cruelty over taxpayers' money - then scapegoated sanctuary seekers for its failures.
