Two interactive maps reveal the scale of migration into Britain with more than 90 per cent of councils “gaining asylum seekers” since Sir Keir Starmer swept to power last year.
Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman has dubbed the bombshell findings a “national scandal”, declaring Labour had "opened our borders and accelerated the invasion of our country".
While 331 authorities have gained asylum seekers since last year's General Election, only 26 had lost asylum seekers while two remained unchanged and five were undeclared.
It comes as protests over migrant hotels reach fever pitch and the Prime Minister's "one in, one out" policy with France was lampooned following a week of record crossings.
Stand for Our Sovereignty (SOS) have taken a deep dive into hundreds of Home Office spreadsheets which have analysed data and trends surrounding the asylum debate.
“We have calculated the number of additional migrants now supported by every single of the 364 local authorities in the United Kingdom since Sir Keir came to power,” SOS said.
According to the data, the average local authority in the UK is now supporting - almost always with accommodation - 79 more asylum seekers than before Mr Starmer came to power.
“This is enough to fill two average-sized hotels,” SOS said.

However, some local councils are carrying more of the burden than others.
“If you live in Crawley in West Sussex, for example, your local authority is now having to support an extra 972 migrants since the General Election since the general election last year,” the team said.
“This is more than double the number inherited from before Sir Keir, amounting to an increase of 128.4 per cent since he became PM.”
Ms Braverman said that after entering the Home Office she had "realised the bill facing the taxpayer for these hotels was unacceptable".
"That's why secure dedicated accommodation such as the Bibby Stockholm Barge and former military sites were and still are the solution," she added.
Ms Braverman said that during her time as Home Secretary she had "worked to close over 100 migrant hotels" while migrant crossings had dropped "by over a third".
"They have never been lower since I left the Home Office," she declared.
"It is a national scandal that Labour have opened our borders and accelerated the invasion of our country. The British people are rising and saying enough is enough."

The former Home Secretary said Mr Starmer had "lost control of our borders and doesn't care for the consequences".
In SOS's deep dive into Home Office data, they have devised two shocking maps.
The first outlines the percentage increases in asylum seekers since Mr Starmer took power and some authorities, including Nuneaton and Bedworth, seeing as high as a 94.1 per cent increase.
But, that wasn't the worst hit authority - Crawley saw an increase of 128.4 per cent.
The SOS data shows: "Increases only ... up to the end of March, covering the first nine months of the current government".
"These increases are likely to be significantly higher now, particularly with the large increase in the number of boat migrants in recent months."
That number has passed 50,000 migrants since Labour assumed office last year, according to the Home Office.
"As can be seen, the vast majority of the country is at least burnt orange, indicating an increase," the SOS said.
However, according to the data, the biggest winner was the local authority of Westminster - the home of the Houses of Parliament which had seen a reduction of 391 migrants - or 24.2 per cent.
Mr Starmer's own local authority of Camden saw a 2.8 per cent increase of just 43 migrants.
Reform UK Deputy Leader Richard Tice said SOS's latest report: "Really brings home just how invasive the crisis has become."
"It’s affecting us all, right across the UK, as we can see from this excellent research which drills down to every local authority in the country," he said.

We’re spending more and more on this problem when the money is badly needed in providing the kind of local services which people have the right to expect – on hospitals, doctors’ surgeries, schools, even the state of the roads. Instead it’s going on hotels for groups of mostly young men from other countries."
Mr Tice said he wasn't surprised "at the number of local protests" which were prompted by "people who weren't consulted and who are quite naturally alarmed at the potential risks these centres pose".
"This Government shows no signs of ever getting this under control because they simply will not take the tough decisions required," he added.
"They should move aside for those who can.”
