Please try again later {{ /verifyErrors }} The Government’s sweeping asylum reforms have become law as the number of migrants crossing the Channel topped 14,000 for the year so far. The much-criticised flagship legislation, central to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s pledge to “stop the boats” crossing the Channel, will prevent people from claiming asylum in the UK if they arrive through unauthorised means. Sonya Sceats, chief executive of the charity Freedom from Torture, branded the Bill “deeply immoral”, adding: “We will not stop fighting for a kinder, fairer UK.” Amnesty International UK said the Act “does not change why people are compelled to attempt dangerous journeys”, adding that “repression and conflict in places like Afghanistan, Iran and Sudan is not easing, and the UK’s contribution to protecting victims has long been modest by comparison to its rich neighbours, let alone many far poorer countries elsewhere”. “Now that this piece of legislation has become law, we will be focused on the necessary next steps to ensure it can become operational, including by appealing to the Supreme Court in October regarding the safety of Rwanda for removal and asylum processing.” Meanwhile, earlier this week, a barge which will house 500 asylum seekers was met by protesters as it arrived in Dorset’s Portland Port a month behind schedule.
