Asylum arrangements are hard to manage in any circumstances. That is also what makes them the perfect dividing line
on the total compared to the summer of last year is progress on this front. Alas, for the Sunak communications team, “Cut the small boats by 20 per cent” was not the Sunak commitment. It’s the “stopping” that turns out to be a harder ask.
It’s even less of a surprise that the response divides sharply between those who deem this sort of argument to be despicably cold-hearted and those who believe that the UK’s inability to sustain an asylum system which does not end up housing in hotels and barges is a sign that something needs to change.
Stand back from the fire and fury on this issue and it is a vital, third group of people who are really the intended recipients of this message.
Similarly, declaring those who arrive by irregular means as “inadmissible” does not override existing legal rights to remain for those whose asylum cases are finally approved – it just draws out the process to no obviously better end.
