   So, today the Home Office revokes its (EU-derived) statutory duty to provide asylum seekers with support & accommodation and introduces only conditional (means tested) support... for those having waited for over a year for their asylum claim(s) to be assessed, they will be allowed to seek employment but (!) on gaining any work, they will then fail the means test for state support.

   Yup, Labour brutality towards refugees just got (even) worse.

     @ChrisMayLA6 That is disgusting.
     Starmer and Labour are disgusting.
     Snivelling, low-life, slimey, tories.
     The starmer-led labour party's hallmarks are inhumanity, apathy and (even more disgusting) the pursuit of Reform's supporters thinking voters by copying their xenophobic ideas.
     Point final.
     What an execrable piece of low life shit.
     Stronger words to follow.
