United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 17 November 2025
On November the 17th 2025, the Government published 'Restoring Order and Control: A statement on the government's asylum and returns policy'. This policy proposal is racist in its treatment of refugees and asylum seekers. We demand that Parliament block all of the measures within the document. The policy proposals announced include: removing the state's obligation to support destitute asylum seekers; removing the right to family reunion; creating a mechanism by which asylum seekers contribute to funding the support they do receive, and much much more. These policies are inhumane, heartlessly cruel, and racist. Instead of attacking the world's most vulnerable, the government must take a compassionate approach to asylum and immigration, and focus on tackling the UK's economic issues.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 17 November 2025
The Government should scrap plans that would: require refugees wait 20 years for permanent settlement, require refugees to return if their home country is deemed safe, and restrict the application of the ECHR article on family life. The Government should also scrap any possible plans to take away possessions. We believe these plans include a dangerous reinterpretation of human rights law and treat people seeking asylum as scapegoats, which may normalise racism further. We are concerned individuals and communities may be left unsafe by these changes. It also could leave people seeking asylum, many of whom may have psychological trauma, in a stressful position.
