Youngsters who have travelled thousands of miles from their war-torn homelands in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq are now starting new lives under the protection of the city council.
I think that probably should have been
'youngsters'...
In contrast to the city council’s generosity, up to a quarter of local authorities have refused to take part in the national voluntary scheme complaining about the costs of taking children and young adults into their care.
Booo! Hissss! How uncharitable! Not like saintly Brighton!
City councillors are calling for more resources from Westminster to help the authority meet its commitments.
Westminster doesn't have any 'resources'. It's taxpayer pockets they'll be rummaging around in. As usual.

Yep, liberal altruism in a nutshell: they generously offer to take money from someone they hate and give it to someone they like, while doubtless keeping a small percentage to cover their own costs.
Swimming lessons first, then take them to Dover, use a real rather than starter's gun to set them off on their new challenge!
"...they generously offer to take money from someone they hate and give it to someone they like, while doubtless keeping a small percentage to cover their own costs."
In the case of most big charities, a large percentage!
