"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing.

"A minister has refused to stand by Labour's pledge to end the use of asylum hotels by the next general election, expected in 2029. Matthew Pennycook said the party is determined to stop their use as accommodation for migrants amid ongoing protests across the UK.

Campaign groups including the Refugee Council warned the target may be unachievable, and protesters have gathered outside the Bell Hotel in Epping.
