Keir Starmer's asylum plan not 'worth the paper its written on' for this reason

  • On 2025-04-29, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper revealed new measures to prevent foreign nationals registered as sex offenders from receiving asylum protection in the UK.
  • This follows scandals like Abdul Ezedi, who was granted asylum despite committing sex offences and attacking a family with acid in 2024.
  • The government intends to extend the definition of 'particularly serious crime' to include all offenders on the sex offenders register, regardless of sentence length, within the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill.
  • Conservative critics and former Home Secretary Suella Braverman said the plan is ineffective as human rights laws, especially Article 3 and Article 8 of the ECHR, allow offenders to appeal removals and remain in the UK.
  • The policy will likely increase deportations but cannot fully prevent appeals under human rights law, indicating ongoing challenges in balancing asylum reforms and legal constraints.
