A veteran who was booted out of his own accommodation has blasted Labour over plans to offer up new council homes for asylum seekers.
Sir Keir Starmer is already under pressure from his own backbenchers to bin off the scheme, cornering the Prime Minister into yet another humiliating U-turn.
So far, around 200 local authorities across the nation has expressed interest in the pilot scheme, which dishes out funding to build homes or refurbish sites for migrants.
Such authorities would span across Brighton and Hove, Thanet, Peterborough and Powys.

But veteran Gary Doyle, who has had trouble finding housing after facing eviction and now suffers from mental health issues, spoke to GB News' Martin Daubney about his struggles.
After the company running the veterans' accommodation switched hands, the residents were all handed notice that they had to leave within just days.
Mr Doyle, along with a group of around a dozen ex-Armed Forces personnel, were evicted from Constellation House in Farnworth - many of whom were transferred there with the help of charities.
On July 18, they were issued Section 21 eviction notices once the provider was no longer a recipient of direct housing benefit for offering supported living.

"We were all stuck at that point and we didn't know what to do," Mr Doyle told the GB News presenter, opening up about the stressful situation.
But, thanks to charities focusing on the plight of homeless veterans, such as Fortitude and Launchpad, Mr Doyle was able to be helped back onto his feet.
Now, hearing about Labour's plans to serve up lush pads for asylum seekers, he candidly declared he was "outraged" at the scenario.
"It's disgusting. We don't even know who they are when they're coming over there," he fumed.

"They're not even touched on anything. They're roaming the streets. They could be using any of any identity or whatever. It's not just veterans who need housing. A lot of people need housing.
"To struggling families, like single parents or struggling young, young parents who can't get on the property ladder need housing...
"There's no way they're just coming over and getting everything handed to them."
"It's getting dangerous now," he added. "Because we don't know what's going to happen. They're coming in hundreds and hundreds and hundreds. And we're not safe. We don't know who they are, roaming the streets...
Looking towards the future, Mr Doyle explained he was on the housing list, although he remained in the dark about the length of time he will be waiting for a new home.
Thanking Veterans Launchpad, a charity which looks after veterans making the transition from military to civilian life, he said: "Luckily enough, I'm allowed to stay here for two years.
"And plus, this place helps you get work and helps you. There's zero struggle with mental health as well as alcoholism and drug addictions."
However, his worries had not yet dissipated, still expressing concern over where he will live once those two years are up.
A Government spokesman said: "New council housing will not be used by asylum seekers under any circumstances.
"This Government will close every asylum hotel. Work is well under way, with military sites brought forward to ease pressure on communities and cut asylum costs."
