Home secretary Shabana Mahmood announced sweeping changes to the asylum rules yesterday; the largest overhaul since the Second World War. The changes have apparently been inspired by Denmark but will they work or are they - as one Labour MP said - ‘repugnant’?
Mahmood has been accused of using “children as a weapon” to make the country less attractive for refugees by a Labour peer who escaped to Britain from the Holocaust.
Lord Dubs, who was one of hundreds of Jewish children granted sanctuary in Britain from Nazi Germany in 1939, described the home secretary’s plans as “a shabby thing”, which would not reduce migration.
