Some Labour-run local authorities are threatening a revolt against the government over asylum hotels.

Epping Forest secured a temporary injunction from the High Court on Tuesday to block the use of one – The Bell – on planning grounds.

The Tory leader’s now urged her party’s councils to consider launching legal challenges – and even some Labour ones are saying publicly they’ll do the same.

Shadow home secretary and MP for Croydon South Chris Philp says the Conservatives had hotel use under control.
