"These schemes have only served to prioritise recent arrivals and foreign nationals ahead of the British public. Reform UK in Lancashire is putting an end to a shameful Conservative policy which shoved British people to the back of the queue for housing and council services."
"The decision would ensure local residents were put at the front of the queue for support. Funding should instead be directed towards vulnerable people already living in the county, including veterans, whom he said had been deprioritised by successive Labour and Conservative governments."

The council's cabinet member advocates for redirecting funding to support local vulnerable populations instead of prioritizing recent migrants.
