Mahmood announces big changes to 'unfair' asylum system
""If we fail to deal with this crisis, we will draw more people down a path that starts with anger and ends in hatred.""
""out of control and unfair""
""dystopian" and "shameful""
""situation of perpetual limbo and alienation""
The Home Secretary defended major asylum-system reforms, saying the current situation is out of control and unfair and warning of escalating anger and hatred if unaddressed. Plans make refugee status temporary, remove guaranteed housing support for asylum seekers, and create capped safe and legal routes into the UK. Some Labour MPs criticised the measures as dystopian, shameful, morally wrong and likely to create perpetual limbo and alienation, while around 20 Labour MPs have voiced objections. Conservatives gave cautious support, calling the proposals positive steps but warning the changes may fail without leaving the European Convention on Human Rights.
