I do refugee and asylum policy at the Refugee Council, so most likely a lot of the posts will be about that.
Baroness Lister's amendment would give refugees 56 days after getting a positive asylum decision before they lose their Home Office support, instead of 28 days. The Home Office started a pilot of 56 days last December, but "paused" it for most refugees in August, despite an ongoing evaluation.

I enjoyed the next line: "Just one problem: Since leaving the EU, the U.K.’s immigration policy has literally been an Australian-style points-based immigration system."

I'm looking forward to all the coverage of Joe Robertson's ten-minute bill next week on the integration of ferry services

and potentially an "asylum policy paper" (although that was initially due before the Summer)

the Committee raised concerns that the "Home Office’s policymaking too frequently reacting to events, rather than proceeding from rigorous analysis and supported by evidence." Which is something a lot of people would probably agree with.
