The government needs a lot of political theatre - a single voluntary removal; premature detentions of people it will release; rows about protestors - to distract from this central question about what its actual policy is going to be for 60,000 people claiming asylum

📢One week today: the next in our series of free webinars on the #IllegalMigrationAct. Tutors Claire Physsas @OnePumpCourt & Julian Bild @ATLEUnit will discuss the provisions of the Act relevant to victims of #trafficking and #modernslavery. Register 👉 bit.ly/3JJrZAs
🚨The Home Sec has refused to say how many UK civil servants will be sent to work in Rwanda. It comes after we revealed that Home Office staff have been asked to apply for jobs in Kigali to help process the asylum claims of people sent there from the UK. inews.co.uk/news/james-cle…
Since parliament passed the Rwanda legislation, more than 2,000 people have now crossed the channel. People are putting, and will continue to put, their lives at risk. Shutting down the asylum system and locking up those seeking asylum is not the answer.
Whichever party forms the next Government will have to confront this problem Shutting people out of the asylum system & leaving them in limbo is plain terrible - bad for people, bad for trust in the asylum system, just bad Best solution? Process asylum claims fairly & promptly.

1. Good, right thing to do 2. Actually lots of claims will be refused 3. The current govt would have to do the same anyway because 4. No one can remove tens of thousands to Rwanda 5. And therefore not processing them would cost £billions for ever and ever.

What the Home Office source fails to provide any information on is what exactly the current plans are for the tens of thousands of people already being shut out of the asylum system as a result of the Illegal Migration Act.

Next Thursday, @mjgerman has secured a debate in @UKHouseofLords on the groups impacted by the shutting down of the asylum system as a result of the Illegal Migration Act. @refugeecouncil analysis showed that over 100k people could be shut out of the system by the end of 2024.
Starmer pretty emphatic... Q: There are reports Labour may retain the Rwanda scheme flights for some time in govt until you negotiate different returns agreements, is that correct? Are you considering retaining the scheme for a period? A: No, I don't believe in the scheme.

Thank you to @DeidreBrock for raising the @refugeecouncil's report on how the Illegal Migration Act will cause a meltdown of the asylum system and leave over 100,000 people in limbo during the migration statement in the Commons. Pity the Minister didn't answer the question.
Thousands of people have read our legal update on the Rwanda Act and Treaty. It is not a happy reading, but we do believe that knowledge is power: it is better to know than not know. righttoremain.org.uk/what-we-know-a…

At a time when people can't get a GP or NHS dentist appt, the gov’t is spending half a billion ££s to remove just a few hundred people to Rwanda - less than 1% of the entire asylum backlog. People are rightly angry. It is a waste of tax payer money & won’t work. My quote below👇

@JFCrisp Thanks - for once a Guardian article on migration slipped past me... Very interesting.
Thank you @mjgerman 👏 - this is the elephant in the room - Rwanda has stated it will only ever take a tiny handful of this growing parma-backlog of people in limbo...
Next Thursday, @mjgerman has secured a debate in @UKHouseofLords on the groups impacted by the shutting down of the asylum system as a result of the Illegal Migration Act. @refugeecouncil analysis showed that over 100k people could be shut out of the system by the end of 2024.
Totally right and totally normal. Lab will actually take a decision on people’s asylum claims to work out whether they have a right to stay! Just like Govt’s of every Party have done since the 1950s - until this one.
Labour has said it will consider the asylum claims of 90,000+ migrants who have entered the UK illegally since March 2023 if it wins the election. They are currently barred from the asylum system thanks to the Illegal Migration Act. They are stuck in limbo, unable to claim…

“You can either deal with the issue - or you can do something performative and tell The Sun you’ve put one man on a plane to Rwanda.” Coming to @GlobalPlayer @maitlis | @jonsopel | @lewis_goodall
@sundersays ... as we regularly point out to the Government. But this was a Labour post-PMQs briefing, so the questions were all about what Labour would do differently on immigration.
The government is now briefing a voluntary relocation to Rwanda - paying somebody £3000 as in voluntary return programmes - presenting it as if the UK-Rwanda MEDP removal scheme had begun
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Britain has removed the first failed asylum seeker to Rwanda, @TheSun can reveal… The unnamed migrant was flown out of the UK on Monday evening. Historic moment as first time UK has relocated a failed asylum seeker to a third country: thesun.co.uk/news/politics/…
