We're clear: the Government's proposed asylum reforms will only entrench division and cause serious harm. People who need the UK's protection deserve so much better.

We are shocked and heartbroken by yesterday’s horrific attack in Manchester. Our hearts go out to the Jewish community in Manchester and all those affected at this incredibly difficult time – may the memory of those killed be a blessing. We desperately hope that those injured make a full recovery.

Yvette Cooper was spot on about refugee family reunion – in 2021.
Closing this route risks forcing vulnerable people into the hands of smuggling gangs.
If the Government wants to stop dangerous Channel crossings, there’s a clear solution: open and expand safe routes now.

The Government’s rightly concerned about forcing people seeking asylum onto the streets. Yet they've also decided to halve the ‘move-on’ period for most to just 28 days – a change that will likely push many new refugees into destitution and homelessness. We need this change to urgently be reversed.

Today's new immigration statistics show that 57% of people arriving by small boat come from just 5 countries: Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iran, Syria, Sudan.
These nationalities all face war or persecution. Yet none have a meaningful safe route here. It's clear: there's a vital need for new pathways.
