🇬🇧 £15.3 BILLION. 7 CONTRACTS. 3 PRIME PROVIDERS.
I’ve been digging through the public record behind Britain’s asylum accommodation system.
The numbers are staggering.
🔴 £4.55 BILLION — original estimated value of the 7 main regional AASC contracts.
🔴 £15.3 BILLION — current forecast cost.
More than THREE TIMES the original estimate.
And those seven contracts are concentrated among just THREE prime providers:
• Clearsprings Ready Homes
• Serco
• Mears
One contract alone — Clearsprings South — went from an estimated £700 MILLION at award to a current forecast of £7 BILLION!!!
Then look at the wider spending:
🔴 £4.7 BILLION — asylum-support spending at its 2023/24 peak.
🔴 ~£4 BILLION — spent in 2024/25.
🔴 £2.1 BILLION — spent on hotels in 2024/25.
The accommodation costs are extraordinary:
HOTELS: £144.98 per person, per night.
DISPERSED ACCOMMODATION: £23.25.
Hotels were roughly SIX TIMES as expensive.
In the first seven months of 2024/25, hotels housed around 35% of people but consumed 76% of AASC contract expenditure.
At the height of the system:
🔴 400+ hotels
🔴 ~56,000 people housed in hotels
🔴 £383 MILLION in reported supplier profits between Sep 2019 and Aug 2024
🔴 At least 43 significant subcontractors identified
🔴 257 modifications to the seven main contracts
And this is where the investigation gets bigger.
The three prime providers are only the top layer.
Underneath them sits a network of subcontractors, hotel operators, accommodation providers and landlords.
Yet there is still no comprehensive public register allowing taxpayers to see that entire supply chain in one place.
That is what we are mapping.
The contracts.
The companies.
The subcontractors.
The spending.
The publicly available corporate relationships.
The decisions.
£4.55 BILLION → £15.3 BILLION.
Seven contracts.
Three prime providers.
The British public deserves to understand where the money goes. 🇬🇧
I have now cancelled my subscription to the @dailytelegraph because their traditional right of centre commentary I followed for years being replaced to attacking patriotic politicians that are fighting for our country’s future is intolerable
“I just had to cancel my last remaining subscription which was the @Telegraph. You had to phone up. They asked me why I was cancelling and I said ‘because you are captured and not reporting properly on anything but my last straw was Fauci.’ That shut them up! I hate them all” 🇬🇧
Don’t worry if your A level results are a bit disappointing. I got a C and two Us. And this evening I shall sit in my agreeable garden, drinking beer from my own brewery and eating food from my own farm. Prepared by my own chef.
This is Judge Amjad Nawaz.
He allowed a 70-year-old muslim to walk free after sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl. In 2016, he did the same with a similar case involving a muslim.
Yet, in the same year, he gave a white man 8yrs for rape. This is clear corruption. 🇬🇧
Horrifying. Almost 75,000 rapes in a single year.
Are British women and girls acceptable collateral damage for uncontrolled immigration?
Let’s start by barring Afghan men - the worst perpetrators-from entering the UK.
Enough is enough
