I haven’t seen the story but, without wanting to be accused of defending the Government, I will try to explain the process:
Any person claiming asylum will be asked if they have family in the UK. If they have, contact will be made with the family to establish if they are willing to accommodate. If so, checks will be made and if all ok, they will be granted Temporary Admission to that address. Confirmation that collection will take place will also be confirmed. In the case of minors, the family would be expected to travel to wherever the minor is being processed ( for obvious reasons). Obviously in these cases, it was agreed to either be met at Victoria or be put on a coach to wherever ( but not minors). If, as it appears, the family do not arrive, then the person will be put back into the care of the HO.
With regard to Temporary Admission, this is not an ideal procedure but, the only alternative is detention and obviously not enough space is available. Minors who have no family are granted Temporary Admission to Social Services. Unfortunately this is how many disappear, as it is impossible to keep tabs on everyone. Anyone with an adverse immigration record or criminal record will be detained.
This appears to be the press getting half a story but deciding to elaborate for political reasons(?). I was confident I was correct, due to my experience, but if people choose to believe the press what can you do?
Regarding the CON MP, he may have spoken out too early without actually contacting the HO ( not the first and won’t be the last)
Hope this helps and doesn’t sound like I have said all this for political purposes

Exactly I pointed this out after the referendum. Claims that the country is doing better or worse after Brexit will be pure speculation as both are moving targets. If we had not left how the economy performed would still be guesswork. Likewise if post Brexit we have a boom I am sure Remainers would be quick to point out that this would have happened anyway.

The only thing we can do is say how the economy is doing right now compared to equivalent European countries. If we are doing worse who can say that would not have been the case pre Brexit it's still a guess.

One more point

Some do nothing for free apart from hide their abuse in what they themselves consider as funny posts. Odious little man syndrome is actually a condition

Sure. We gave it our best shot and despite the impetus created by Covid and a world wide recession we've still failed.

I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting that we would not still have problems if Brexit had been avoided. It's the combination of all the events, cascading one after another which has created the size of our problem.

Brexit though has contributed and made things worse, not better. The kindest thing that could be said was that it was unfortunate timing. If it had occurred during an economic upswing then Brexiteers would have claimed Brexit as the cause, and the gullible would have believed it. Now they will think the opposite. That neither might be 100% true, doesn't mean that it isn't partly true and people, and businesses can see that.

The tide has turned and I see no prospect of a reversal again.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

A week is a long time in anything its only 3 weeks since Truss.

Scaling back public investment in order to balance the books risks prolonging the UK’s recession and permanently weakening the economy, Rishi Sunak has been warned.

Looks like the same old failed stuff.
