Paying out millions of pounds a day to house illegal migrants in hotels is an "absolute disgrace", one of the Labour party's rising star MPs has told GB News.

Chris Curtis, elected MP for Milton Keynes North in July's general election, said that he found it "offensive" that public money was being used to keep illegal arrivals in hotels.

Earlier this week, it emerged that the Government was continuing to house asylum seekers in hotels despite Labour’s manifesto pledge to end the practice which costs £7million a day.

Curtis told Chopper’s political podcast this week regarding the previous administration that there was “a massive black hole that lurks in the economy” and he added that “the most offensive one is hotel bills”.

He said: "We're taking hard earned taxpayers money out of their pockets. It's an absolute disgrace. We need to be shutting down those hotel bills. But you can't do that with a ridiculous Rwanda gimmick."

The Conservative Party Chairman has admitted it was a "mistake" removing Boris Johnson as leader. Speaking to Chopper' Political Podcast, Richard Fuller said: "At the time and still, I think removing Boris Johnson, whatever one might have thought about what went on or didn't go on at the time was a mistake.

And it was a mistake because that wasn't the question to be answered. If you wanted to change, you had to agree who the next leader was going to be. My personal view was also getting rid of someone who just won the general election was probably not going to end well, whatever happened."
