On the day the Government announces plans to erode asylum rights, we support this report and call on the government to take urgent action @refugeestogeher.bsky.social
Britain’s asylum system is broken - uncaring, chaotic & costly. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
On the day the Government announces plans to erode asylum rights, new research by us & @pcsunion.bsky.social by @lsepress.bsky.social shows a fairer system could help refugees & boost the economy
