Ooo im guessing “my department will make legally sound asylum decisions in efficient timescales and will not simply parrot unevidenced Reform talking points but instead show economically astute leadership”
St Lucia - I could see that coming.

It is very concerning. The general public does not understand how very concerning it is. The courts have stepped in - which is a proper exercise of their essential oversight powers, but it gives a depressing insight into current security practice see also the Beth case.
🎉 Democracy wins! The government has scrapped ministers’ power to influence the Electoral Commission.
The Strategy and Policy Statement risked political interference - now it’s gone!
This is a significant step towards rebuilding public trust. Free and fair elections rely on an impartial referee.

Very interesting. This should be read by everybody with an interest in the immigration debate.
Apparently the Home Office are continuing to contest Iranian asylum appeals.
The law is that the judge has to assess risk on return as at the day of hearing.
It’s quite hard to see how there would not be a well founded fear of being persecuted right now irrespective of whether the appellant has lied about stuff or, indeed, the nature of the asylum case at all. Being returned from the UK would surely be enough.
I can see why, politically, and perhaps even morally, from their perspective, the HO might not want to willingly grant asylum to a bunch of people they feel don’t “deserve” it. But that’s THE major problem with immigration and asylum policy. Wishful thinking by policy makers.
who could have predicted that stopping international students, care workers and nurses from coming to the UK would damage the economy/public finances while yielding precisely no political benefits?
Oh. Me.

Farage with Andrew Tate.
As the government launches its new policy over violence against women and girls, we go to Nigel Farage for Reform’s response.
