there is going to be a staggering increase in home office decision making times. or a massive increase in the use of ai, and subsequent appeals. all these proposals are actually maddening and the reporting on them equally so
If I was implementing changes to immigration and asylum systems guaranteed to increase Home Office costs, as well as financial burdens on individuals, businesses, higher ed etc, decreasing spending in communities and risking increased costs for everyone, I'd simply not boast about it in my budget.

When the media and government move to demonise a minority it’s always noticeable how that minority gets denied the concept of including children or minors, as she was 17 at the time.

Horrendous & punishing for thousands of people including c.25,000 children seeking protection with their families who got status in the last five years (luckily children in care and care leavers are out of scope of the settlement changes)
At least 160,000 people have been granted refugee status over the past five years. It now seems they are intended to be caught by the Government’s plans to make refugees wait up to 20 years for settlement - even for those just months away from ILR

Imagine if 2000 children had gone missing from boarding schools. How much outrage there would be. Imagine how quickly there would be demands for inquiries and actions. Instead because these are unaccompanied asylum seeking children they will either be ignored or blamed for being trafficked.
How is this not the top story on every news bulletin?
This has been happening for years and instead of doing anything to protect children successive governments have made the situation worse. This isn't just on councils. It is part of failings on a State level.
