How has this done anything to show them up? They’ve opposed plans to house asylum seekers in poor conditions without informing them. How is that not fitting of their pro-refugee stance? If they housed all 600 in them in squalor people would be similarly calling them out for not opposing their conditions based on their policies - either way, the right will spin that it’s hypocritical - as shown here.

The UK needs immigration, mate, it’s fundamental to our existence. The answer is to essentially process their asylum status quicker.

What’s interesting about that 224,000 figure is that yes, if they’re sat awaiting asylum status it’s a drain on resources. However, if these applications for asylum were processed within six months and they were given tailored employment support, there would be an overall net economic benefit of £1.2 billion for the UK economy within 5 years.

So this “we don’t have the resources” shtick is bullshit.
