Alison Pickup from Asylum Aid: most people who flee their countries stay nearby
e.g Lebanon has 1.5m Syrian refugees. But 37,000 people arriving in small boats last year is tearing the UK apart, right?

Israel has killed over 1,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since Oct 2023

Maguire reminding viewers that the number of asylum seekers & refugees coming into the UK are relatively few (most refugees stay in countries near to where they're from)

Labour continues to target asylum seekers & refugees.
