  1. • Shadow Home Office minister Stephen Kinnock told the Commons on Monday that the Home Office has lost contact with 85% of the 5,000 people identified for removal to Rwanda: “Can I ask the Home Secretary where on earth are these 4,250 asylum seekers who have gone missing?”

    • Home Secretary James Cleverly would not be drawn into revealing details.

    • Speaking during Home Office questions on Monday, shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said: “We need the Home Office to have a grip. The Home Secretary gave no answer earlier on the 4,000 people he has lost from the Rwanda list. Can he tell us if he has also lost the 35,000 he has removed from the asylum backlog? How many of them are still in the country?”

  2. I take it no one in the home office is taking accountability for this

  3. Surely this means that the people that choose to go missing lose any chance at their application for a visa or a permanent stay, much less any kind of allowance.

  4. They’re doing this on purpose, neither Tories or Labour give a single fuck what you think about migration controls, they are fuelled by their own ideologies and strategies on this.

  5. This situation is completely unsustainable. These people aren’t asylum seekers and need to be removed from the country

  6. Sadly identity cards will have up be forced on us as a means of control?

  7. Im refreshingly reassured by most of the comments. I’m glad people are moving closer to the centre and “right” on these obvious issues. Away from the left’s “feELInGs” based decision making.

    There is nothing racist about challenging immigration.

  8. And THAT is entirely the fault of the Tory party.

    Decimated Home Office funding, tied their hands in a deliberate attempt to build up a backlog in order to push Brexit…

    Too late, they realised the backlog was insane & maybe they should do something about it.

    Properly funded the HO & oh look, the backlog is down (well, the manipulated figures to make Sunak appear to achieve his ‘promise’ – spoiler, he’s a promise-breaker)

    Stable door & horses?

    Fuck off and never darken our doors again you self-serving fuck-nuggets!

  9. Why does this hole Scenario feel like a government being made to do something it does not want to do?.

  10. I thought this was the plan. Stick them in a hotel, give them no access to funds or prospect to get asylum soon and hope they disappear and problem solved?

  11. Both political parties are useless traitors. They are both corrupt as they’ve both been taking turns in power for hundreds of years. They don’t give a shit about the danger these people pose, that’s for the poor people to deal with.

    Even then, any rapes and deaths will be swept under the carpet.

  12. I think it’s crazy that Britain is deporting these people. Can the countries that Britain invaded and colonised, and still occupy not be deported to Rwanda too?

  13. Yes but imagine how bad it would have been if we’d tried “chaos with Ed”!

    That phrase about the inability to organise a drinks event in a beer factory – that really sums up the Tories!

  14. This is why we need a facility to hold them why they’re being processed.

  15. Concerning that 4,000 potentially undocumented “asylum seekers” are now roaming our streets. Time to tighten ship and stop these people coming in altogether.

  16. Which ones? If it was the rapists who sit on the beach or under a bridge all day I have no problem with it

  17. Strewth! I was rather hoping that it would be the other way around. 4000 membersof parliament go Missing, beam Me up Scotty.!

  18. Another near miss on the are they too dumb to be fascists roulette wheel that is the UK government.

  19. They are rocking up in Ireland. They go to Scotland, get the ferry over to Northern Ireland and then down to Dublin to seek asylum. There are tents all over Dublin, as there isn’t enough space to place them..

  20. If you organised the piss-up in a brewer for them they’d all get lost on the way there.
