The prime minister has announced plans to address issues in the UK’s asylum system and end the backlog of UK asylum claims by the end of 2023. Speaking to MPs on Tuesday, Rishi Sunak said: ‘Early next year we will introduce new legislation to make unambiguously clear that if you enter the UK illegally, you should not be able to remain here.’ He added that, ‘once removed, you should have no right to re-entry, settlement or citizenship’.
The Labour leader, Keir Starmer, described the plans as ‘unworkable gimmicks’. ‘Money is being wasted on the unworkable and unethical plan to deport people to Rwanda. The prime minister has promised more legislation but the last time the government legislated to tackle the broken asylum system they made it worse,’ he said
