Because, like the small boats thing, I think they agree with the principles. They’re just arguing they can…do it cheaper. Which is a sorry state of affairs when that’s the position the opposition is taking.
That’s a depressing thought - that Labour may agree with the basic principle of taking extremely vulnerable people and cramming them together on a bloody barge.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Controversial barges and military camps will still be used temporarily to house asylum seekers if Labour wins the next election, a member of Keir Starmer’s frontbench has said.
When pressed if that meant Labour would continue to use the barges to house asylum seekers, Kinnock said: “The reality is, on day one we will have to deal with the we have and the shambolic mess they have left us.
The shadow minister refused to give a timeline on when a Labour government would stop using the barges and bring down the backlog from a record high of more than 172,000 cases.
In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph Dowden criticised those who have expressed concern over the asylum seeker barge, urging them to stop their “howls of outrage”.
The government is to launch a series of immigration policies this week in an effort to show the prime minister is starting to get a grip on one of his five key priorities – to “stop the boats”.
More than 6,000 people have been wiped off the list without being fully assessed in just three months, for reasons such as failing to attend interviews or appointments, and not filling in new fast-track questionnaires, the Independent reported.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Back to prison hulks.
AHH but when Labour do it it’ll be more acceptable… for some reason?
Time for a Communist uprising folks!
