The Home Office will appeal against the High Court’s refusal to allow it to intervene in the case of a asylum hotel in Epping

On Tuesday the court granted Epping Forest district council a temporary injunction that blocked the housing of asylum seekers at the hotel from September 12

The security minister said the government would close all asylum hotels by the end of parliament but “it must be done in a managed and ordered way”

Protests against asylum hotels are expected to take place today in at least eight towns and cities, with further demonstrations expected over the weekend
