- The government has announced plans to overhaul the legal process for asylum applications, aiming to fast-track decisions and reduce the substantial backlog of appeals.
- Home Secretary Yvette Cooper stated that a new fast-track appeals system would accelerate decisions, helping to meet Labour's commitment to cease using asylum hotels.
- The issue of immigration and asylum is considered the most important facing the country by nearly four in 10 voters, amidst ongoing protests outside asylum hotels across the UK.
