UK’s asylum backlog soars to record high as Labour blasted over having ‘no strategy’ with system ‘on brink of collapse’

THE UK’s asylum appeals backlog has soared to a new record high – as Labour is blasted for having “no strategy”.

Critics say the asylum system is “on the brink of collapse”, with the number of claims now almost eight times the level it was a decade ago.

Data published by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) revealed there were 87,450 cases in the system at the end of March.

This is up 72 per cent from 50,976 last year – and more than seven times the 11,660 claims lodged in 2016, when current records began.

And it showed just over a third of appeals (40 per cent) were successful between January and March this year.

This is down from 43 per cent in the same period last year, while the waiting time to clear an asylum appeal has become longer.

Why are they called the Labour Party? They have no jobs, no people working in coal mines or factories, very little being produced. Do they consider immigrants to be laborers?

Oh, they have a strategy all right. It’s just not one that favors native Brits.

It was founded at the turn of the 20th century to represent the interests of the working class, manual workers, and the trade union movement. "Labour" literally refers to work and the labouring classes.

Could this be what led to Joy’s quitting?

“GTFO” should be the strategy for the backlog.

Labours strategy IS collapse.

Performing a controlled demolition of the UK into the waiting arms of their Communist Marxist leaders and WEF planners.

What they didn’t plan on was that Obama, Samantha Power USAID and their scheming unlimited USA tax dollars funneled via the NGOs (including their fake Christian ‘charities’) would no longer be around to fund the engineered decline.

After installing Biden they presumed the game was skewered to their permanent advantage. They were wrong, praying America has proven to be far too strong. The USA too resilient.

They’re now out of petrol and their motor’s knackered just off the A1 to Edinburgh.

This is why they have become obtuse, obfuscating, hindering and nearly belligerent to President Trump and the free USA who is no longer playing the NWO game of crash the West into the waiting arms of the rising anti-Christ ‘Beast’ System.

Their goal is to turn the UK into something like the USSR.

Sounds like a feature, not a bug.

Labour pledged to stop using asylum hotels by the next election.

Don't think you will, mate.

there’s a difference between legitimate compassionate asylum for individuals in danger.....and the wholesale sell-out of British sovereignty and domestic safety we’ve witnessed. The Ruling Elite has destroyed the once-Great Britain ... one can only wonder to what safe countries that Ruling Elite plans to seek asylum when the Islamicist invasion forces give them the Royal Heave-Ho?

They’re out of the free monies being sloshed about around the globe from the unlimited digital printing of the USA dollar reserve currency.

It was a two-fer. They got to purchase all of the Communist rope to hang the West with, whilst at the same moment attempting to crash the USA money system into the WEFs coming digital ‘great reset’. While Obama, George Soros, Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab were all giddy with joy offstage behind the curtains.

With Satan flying over the UN in his UAP smiling down at them.
