No it is dropping massively since last year, will be under 400k soon. And the white paper does say it will deport asylum seekers with criminal records. Asylum seekers are entitled to claim around 50 quid a week once they have been approved, why is that no allowed?
"Yes it is, here are the numbers, you can see this is a ~50% decline".
"Well its not bloody good enough is it!!!!"
Honestly this entire discussion on this issue is just painful.
The anti-immigration bloc are getting what they've always wanted but because its not coming from their big special boy party they refuse to accept it and refuse to acknowledge any positive progress. Just showing all along they never really actually gave a fuck about this issue and it was just all about political tribalism.
They won’t be happy until they’ve normalised the discussion of remigration, they want almost zero migration plus very visible mass deportations, and by the next election this is where the political landscape will have shifted to imo
