Building a Future: A Smarter Approach to Migration and Housing

#MakeBritainGreatAgain – Instead of Penalising Disabled Citizens to Fix the Fiscal Black Hole, Let’s Empower Migrants to Build New Homes, Boost the Economy, and Save Taxpayers Money

While the government claims it’s tightening its belt to fix the so-called “fiscal black hole,” it is once again the most vulnerable — disabled people — who are being forced to pay the price. Cuts to essential support services, cruel reassessments, and increased poverty are now the norm for those who already face daily battles. Meanwhile, millions of taxpayer hard-earned money are being wasted housing migrants in hotels and handing out five-year guaranteed rent deals to private landlords. This is not only unsustainable — it is a gross betrayal of both taxpayers and the migrants themselves, who came here seeking opportunity, not dependency.

“Britain doesn’t need more hotel bills. Britain needs builders”.

Instead of warehousing migrants in overpriced accommodation, why not give them the chance to build?

• Train and employ migrants to construct new homes.
• Create affordable housing for everyone — migrants, British families, disabled people, and low-income workers.
• Slash the extortionate cost of hotel housing overnight.
• Stimulate the economy with a massive boost to construction, materials, and employment.

Many migrants come with skills, determination, and the drive to succeed. Let’s harness that energy for the good of the country — instead of creating a two-tier society where resentment festers and billions are burned with nothing to show for it.

It’s a simple equation:
“Build homes → Boost the economy → Save taxpayers’ money → Solve the housing crisis”.

The government’s current model only enriches private landlords, fuels public anger, and abandons disabled people to survive on scraps. This is not leadership. It is cowardice.

The time for excuses is over. If the government truly wants to fix the fiscal black hole, it must think bigger, act braver, and treat both migrants and disabled citizens with the respect they deserve.

This initiative could achieve several critical goals:

• Boost the economy through new construction jobs, training schemes, and local material supply chains.
• Save taxpayers’ money by reducing the reliance on costly hotel accommodation and private landlord schemes.
• Ease the housing shortage by adding more affordable homes to the market, benefitting British families and communities alike.
• Restore dignity to migrants by providing meaningful work and integration opportunities.

This would be a long-term investment — not only reducing the burden on the welfare system but also creating self-sufficient, skilled contributors to the economy. Instead of perpetuating a system of dependency and resentment, Britain could model a bold, innovative approach that uplifts both its citizens and new arrivals.

This government’s so-called “fiscal discipline” is a lie. It is not about saving money. It is about targeting the easy victims — disabled people, carers, and the vulnerable — while protecting the broken systems that enrich private landlords and waste billions on temporary hotel accommodation for migrants.

“Enough is enough”.

Disabled citizens are not responsible for the economic mess politicians created through decades of mismanagement. Yet once again, it is the disabled who are forced to carry the burden through brutal cuts, cruel reassessments, and stripping away of basic dignity.

Meanwhile, migrants — many of whom are desperate to work, contribute, and rebuild their lives — are locked in hotels at taxpayers’ expense, costing Britain millions every single week. And private landlords are being handed five-year rent guarantees while the rest of the country drowns in a housing crisis.

“This is not just incompetence. It is an insult”.

If the government had any real interest in fixing the economy, the solution is staring them in the face:

• Mobilise migrants into a national housebuilding programme.
• Train them, employ them, and get homes built for everyone who needs them.
• Slash the obscene hotel bills overnight.
• Boost the economy through construction, training, and supply chains.
• Free up desperately needed social housing for British citizens.

Migrants did not come here to be locked away and blamed. They came for opportunity.
Give them the chance to build — literally — a better Britain.
Not only would it save taxpayers billions, but it would create real solutions, real homes, and real hope.

Instead of demonizing migrants and abandoning the disabled, we could unite both groups in rebuilding this nation.

The question is:
Does this government have the courage to lead — or will it continue to scapegoat the powerless while stuffing money into the pockets of private interests?

• Britain deserves better.
• The disabled deserve better.
• Migrants deserve better.

“It’s time to stop the betrayal — and start building a future that serves everyone“.

It’s time to stop seeing disabled people and migrants as problems to be managed. They are people — deserving of dignity, opportunity, and fair treatment. Solutions exist. They just require the political will to think differently.
