Suella Braverman has called the asylum system broken – but she’s probably focused on the wrong parts. What needs fixing? Home Office incompetence has led to a backlog in processing claims – while the Government is focussing on a new deal with France to reduce people crossing the Channel in small boats. Colin Yeo, a barrister specialising in migration issues sits down with Arthur Snell, to tell us just how Brexit broke the asylum system – and how to speed it up once and for all.
- “I think it boils down to incompetence when it comes down to it.”
- “Instead of refocussing resources they’ve just ignored it and it’s made things worse.”
- “If someone is from Syria it doesn’t take long to realise that they’re probably a refugee”
- “I don’t trust the Home Office when they start quoting statistics that aren’t in the public domain.”
