The number of councils vowing to take legal action to kick asylum seekers out of hotels has grown to at least 19 as mass unrest continues to spread across the UK today.
Furious protesters have gathered outside migrant hotels in towns and cities such as Newcastle, Swindon and Falkirk after the Court of Appeal yesterday overturned an injunction ordering the removal of 138 migrants from an accommodation in Essex.
It comes as the Labour government was last night facing accusations from senior Tories that it is 'taking the side of migrants over Britons'.
On Saturday, more and more councils promised to fight back against asylum hotels in light of the Court of Appeal's decision on The Bell Hotel in Epping.
Reform UK has said that all 12 councils it controls should be exploring legal options to stop asylum seekers being housed in local hotels.
