PM & Home Secretary claiming they’ve cleared the asylum backlog this morning.

That’s just not true.

It’s one of five Sunak broken promises on asylum & small boats this year - yet another year of Tory asylum chaos, of gimmicks instead of grip.

Let’s look at the facts👇(1/7)

BROKEN PROMISE 1: Sunak claims to have cleared the asylum backlog. Not true.

Not even cleared “legacy backlog” - 4,500 cases not done, 17,000 “withdrawn” by the Home Office but they’ve no idea where those people are

And rest of backlog DOUBLED this yr

Total backlog 99k (2/7)
