Our @refugeecouncil.bsky.social analysis suggests that by the next election in 2029 the Home Office could need to process around 100,000 status reviews - about the same size as the current asylum backlog.

The last Labour government had multiple integration strategies - this government appears to be pursuing the opposite.
It’s also a massive administrative challenge. Instead of only processing one ILR application at the 5 year mark, it could be 8 applications over 20 years.

Since Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah became the first person in the UK to have air pollution listed as a cause of death, nationwide progress on air pollution hasn’t happened fast enough.
I urge everyone to back Ella's Law – a healthier, fairer future for Britain’s children is at stake.

Labour will lose in Scotland, Wales to left challengers, and probably heavily in London too, through low turnout, defection to progressives, some losses to populists as a smaller contribution. Rebuilding that with an "but its us or Reform" basis may be harder than the current leadership acknowledges

It is hardly the most important facet of the new asylum policy, but who exactly are the Home Office decision makers twiddling their thumbs and in desperate need of tens of thousands of additional decisions to make each year?

Further updates on the ignominious end to Lam's ignominious policy. Good to hear Badenoch say "But we have a principle. We don’t believe in making things retrospective." Let's hope all Britain's parties follow that principle. And for a less punitive & vindictive approach to immigration more broadly

In the exact opposite of the public discourse, net migration is expected to continue to tumble. This is due to policy choices (exactly as the increase was due to policy choices.) As the government does not frame migration in terms of trade offs, it has no language to outline the risks of this.
How low will it go?
@jamesbowes01.bsky.social's detailed analysis projects net migration will collapse: from its peak of nearly a million to perhaps just over 100K in 2026.
