Glad this has been called out by the IASC. Seems a purposeful lack of understanding of the complexities of the asylum process and the NRM. It also disregards the experiences of survivors. Distrust in the system is already rife, this rhetoric isn't going to help.

Long thread: There are two main "defences" I see put forward of Labour which crop up:
1) If you don't vote for Labour you'll get Reform
2) It's all the fault of right wing media painting Labour in a bad light.
The thing is that neither of these are actually a defence of what Labour is doing. 1/23

The current discourse goes to show many folx don't know/understand/want to learn about the realities of our immigration system. Whether that's someone applying for prohibitively expensive visas or the process of how you can claim asylum in this country. Its honestly depressing.
