  1. If they come with no papers then countries will not accept them in since they have no passports, they are un-deportable.

  2. Introducing a policy is one thing but it has to actually work or it just sits on the statute book doing nothing and there are 2 questions that haven’t been answered.

    1. How do remove people withing 28 and maintain there right to appeal against a law that at this point might not actually be legal.

    2. Where are they being deported to because at the minute the only “safe” country proposed is Rewanda and the government haven’t managed a single flight.

    This is currently an I’ll thought out policy to try and save face. What we need to do is stop making people wait years to have there asylum claims heard. That would be a good first step.

  3. Dont fall for this. Its announced now to get the headlines off Boris/Hancock. They did the same with the Rwanda policy.

    Both unworkable, they know it but gets the headlines off whats really going on in the party

  4. After speaking to a recent arrival, I think part of the problem is British ‘soft power’. Our TV shows like Dowton Abbey and other fantasy stuff is on the world’s TVs and people think it is a perfect world of white people living fabulous lives. This encourages people to come here and frequently and up in poverty, exploitation and Rwanda. We are pushing a dream which rarely comes up to expectation.

  5. Isn’t it already the Home Secretary’s duty? Who is responsible isn’t the problem, the problem is that the Refugee Conventions didn’t anticipate Asylum Tourism. At the least International law on refugees needs to be revised to allow for the immediate return of bogus refugees to the last safe country they came from.

  6. This is also a retrospective law, so it applies to anyone who has come to the UK “illegally”

  7. Christ so many people still caught up by the Rwanda plan, still blind to the fact that the government just gave £120m of our money to a corrupt regime for a PR photo op. You’ve all been had, mugs.

  8. The latest polls are predicting a Labour majority after the next election. Some even predict a landslide.

    It’s a headline policy, Tories tough on immigration. If Labour doesn’t support it, then it becomes Labour will let anybody in. At the level of voter Tories are targeting, nuance and complexity don’t really exist.

    Those who voted for Brexit get upset when accused of racism, strange though that Tory policy since that time seems designed to appeal to that mindset, which for me is an admission by the Tories that essentially, Brexit was a single issue referendum. It’s an issue they obviously intend to exploit between now and an election. Don’t be too surprised if it works.

  9. In 2021, almost one in five of those who claimed asylum in the UK were from Iran and there is currently no way for Iranians to apply for asylum in the UK without first arriving in the UK.

    So how can Iranians “legally” enter the UK to apply for asylum.

  10. This home secretary needs to demonstrate that she can fulfil the duties that she already has before she is given anymore duties. She is not fit for purpose & as with many of her colleagues, needs to be relieved of her duties, as soon as is practicable.
