We now get Home Office press releases about immigration nearly every day. Interesting to note the language. They obviously want to be seen to be taking action, but “illegal migrants” are not the same as “asylum seekers”

We know this to be the case from our own first-hand experience.
It's a cruel, shoddy, and counterproductive policy, that knowingly increases the risks of exploitation and street homelessness.

The government’s decision to halve the time limit for refugees to leave Home Office accommodation is driving people into homelessness and exploitation, according to migrant rights campaigners and homelessness charities

New asylum policies making homeless refugees “targets for the far right”
Labour’s abrupt return to the 28-day move-on period is pushing vulnerable people into rough sleeping and exposing them to fraud and abuse.

Labour's anti-asylum policies are already fundamentally inhumane and discriminatory. Applying them retrospectively is pure cruelty though. It serves absolutely no purpose. Meanwhile it will increase the costs and bureaucracy of an already dysfunctional Home Office.

If the system worked properly and fairly, this man would have been recognised years ago, been able to bring his family here and be a British citizen. Instead, he now faces being caught up in the Home Secretary's plans to switch refugees into what seems to be a minimum 20 year route to settlement.

<div class="field field-field-text"><p>The civil defence in Gaza warned that the population is expected to face “heavy rain and strong winds” amid a lack of basic necessities and continuing suffering from the effects of war.</p>
<p>In a press release issued by the General Directorate of Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, it said it has mobilised its teams and limited resources to address the "negative impacts of this storm", particularly for displaced families.</p>
<p>It added that the fuel crisis has resurfaced, urging international organisations to intervene and allow fuel aid into the strip.</p>
<p>"Ignoring this urgent intervention will only worsen the suffering of citizens, particularly in the camps, and will leave them vulnerable to flooding from rainwater and potentially even from high tides," it said, adding that the fuel crisis can also impact the recovery of bodies remaining underneath the rubble. </p>
