If compassion cost reduce the cost of asylum by 40%, how can we justify any other approach?

Together With Refugees new report 'Welcoming Growth: The economic case for a fair and humane asylum system'  - Together With Refugees Monday 17 November 2025 Britain’s refugee policies have been uncaring, chaotic, and costly for too long.

Anglican bishop shaken ‘to the core’ by home secretary’s asylum seeker comments Bishop of Edmonton says people coming to UK are being ‘scapegoated’ for years of policy failures

“People are sick of them appeasing the far right" say the Public and Commercial Services Union.

"A fair and humane system, which is what we’re proposing, would boost growth and has to be better than whipping up hatred and division.”

On the day the Government has announced plans to erode asylum rights even further, new research from @refugeestogether.bsky.social and @pcsunion.bsky.social by @lsepress.bsky.social shows that a fairer asylum system could help refugees and boost the UK economy ⬇️

What's your alternative? people say. Well here is one: constructive and careful thinking about how to make the system work well for everyone.

An extremely important read! 🧡

A fair, humane asylum system isn’t just right - it’s smart economics.

Let refugees rebuild their lives, and Britain will thrive too.

The impact? For every refugee:

💷 £266,000 added to the UK economy
🏠 £42,000 saved on accommodation
💰 £53,000 net benefit to the public purse
📈 Every £1 spent = £9 in salary gains

Four simple changes could transform lives and save money:

1️⃣ Process asylum claims within 6 months
2️⃣ Provide legal support throughout
3️⃣ Offer English lessons from day one
4️⃣ Give early access to job support

Britain’s asylum system is broken - uncaring, chaotic & costly. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

On the day the Government announces plans to erode asylum rights, new research by us & @pcsunion.bsky.social by @lsepress.bsky.social shows a fairer system could help refugees & boost the economy

There is a massive power in visibility.

On the first weekend of December, we’re asking you to put up a poster to show your solidarity with refugees.

In your home, in your workplace, in your place of worship, anywhere your community gathers.

Tell your MP: reverse the citizenship ban New Government rules are making it impossible for many refugees to ever become British citizens. It’s a change designed to punish people who were forced to take a dangerous journey to seek safety. ...
