Redirect weekly Asylum Support Spending to Pensioners & Disabled People

Closed 168 signatures

What the petition asks

We urge Parliament to reduce spending on asylum hotels housing, legal aid, and administration, and to redirect this funding to support pensioners and disabled citizens, to improve welfare & address urgent social care needs across the UK.
Many UK taxpayers are unhappy. We urge the Government to redirect asylum support spending— on housing, legal aid, and administration—to pensioners and disabled citizens who face rising costs, poor care, and financial hardship. We believe British taxpayers deserve to see their money used to support those who have contributed to society. Prioritising our vulnerable citizens could strengthen national unity and ensure fairness in public spending.
