A government that wants to fix problems with the asylum system should be jumping through hoops to seek from advice from 1 of their MPs who’s an expert on this issue.
That they haven’t says all you need to know about their motives.
They are only interested in looking tough, not on improving things.

Exactly this.
Labour have made so clear that they rate you based on your salary, nothing else.
Out of touch, clueless, insulting & paving the way for a Farage government. All whilst enabling and mainstreaming these far-right ideas.

Shabana Mahmood's Indefinite Leave To Remain Culture War
3 years - if you're earning £125k+
15 years - if you're e.g. a nurse, or a teacher
Labour's two tier system which rewards high earners and insults those who work just as hard but don't earn as much - really sad to see Labour fall

Anyone saying Reform would be worse is respectfully wrong.
Tories were dreadful on immigration but there was at least a semblance of a progressive opposition acting as a check. I’m sure that would be so were Reform in power.
With Labour, it’s Reform policies & Reform in opposition, with no check.

New Labour policy is that if you've ever had to borrow money because this country is incredibly expensive or if you're sick and therefore don't work and pay tax, you can never secure permanent immigration status.
Just let that sink in.

Great to see an MP spitting facts rather lying & scapegoating.
Maybe, just maybe, when designing asylum policy it would be wise to speak with experts working in the sector rather than pandering to Reform. Who knows, you may actually improve things & stop normalising the hateful anti-migrant bile?

The UK isn’t a “soft touch” on asylum.
UK asylum seeker benefits are similar to European neighbours
No right to work before 12 months (it’s 6 months in France, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands)
UK settlement after 5 years (it’s 3 or 4 in Germany)
Let’s cut out the alarmist rhetoric.
