Reluctant? No, just otherwise occupied!

It seems to have reached a crisis point in the last few days, given the attention it's now receiving. The overcrowding at the reception centre looks to be getting some kind of emergency response today.

It was becoming untenable, but now looks as if we might, just about, be able to manage again.

I heard on a radio 4 interview earlier that the Home Office have introduced several additional layers of bureaucracy in the last 2 years which has significantly showed down the processing, resulting in 96% of the illegal arrivals in 2021 still remaining unprocessed and being accommodated at our expense. What the motivation for that is remains unclear.

As the current surge appears to be from Albania, and Albanians are unlikely to be able to establish refugee status, speeding up their processing ought not be beyond us. Returning them swiftly would discourage others from following and disrupt the criminals behind this.

And if Albania's application to join the EU is successful won't they be harder to return after they've been here legally for six months?

To be honest, I never really understood how/why she got the job back in the first place.

The narrative around Sunak becoming PM was this notion of creating stability. Fine. But why then reinstate a Home Secretary who had just resigned due to a security, albeit supposedly minor/technical breach? Basic politicking nous tells you she will be in the firing line and any notion of somehow creating order from chaos vanishes.

I know I am boring, and possibly a little paranoid, but I cannot shake this notion that the Tories want out of Government. Just the act of reinstating Braverman makes little rational sense unless you actually want her to be slaughtered?

Make Sunak seem weak straight away and already making bad calls.

The most pressing need is to recruit or assign case-workers and clear the huge backlog which is causing the pressure on accommodation and creates situations like Manston.

But no, not to a tory home secretary.

After 12 years she is saying the system is broken, really how surprising, and its because of people like her, a Truss like commons performance.

The cannot-do society.

As for the PM's 'profound economic crisis' did he not in part create it?

And doesn't it politically suit him?

I don't see why, unless we re-join the EU.
