More than 115,000 asylum seekers will be trapped in 'permanent limbo' by the end of the year as a result of the government's flagship Rwanda plan, according to a detailed study by the Refugee Council. The effect of the Rwanda plan will push the already struggling UK asylum system into 'meltdown', the council's chief executive said. Enver Solomon told Sky News the plans, passed in parliament earlier this week, will lead to 'immense cost, chaos and human misery'.
The rest will be left relying indefinitely on Home Ofice support or 'avoid contact with the authorities and go underground'. Its analysis of Home Office figures suggests that, by the end of this year, at least 105,309 men, women and children will be eligible to be removed and only 9,478 of those will qualify to be returned to their own country.

Wandsworth Council: Low council tax but high-quality servicesWandsworth Council charges residents in a band-D property just £961 this year, yet it's still opening libraries and launching 'skip days' - many across the UK might be looking and wondering: how can we get the same service? Wandsworth Council charges some of the lowest council tax in England but still makes provisions for extra services – how does it do it? It is shortly after 9:30am on a brisk Saturday morning on Larch Close in Balham, and a father and his toddler daughter are chanting a made-up song while waiting in the line to use an enormous skip that’s been placed in the street. “Mega skip day,” the two cheerfully chant as the father finishes kicking apart a shelving unit so he can dispose of it. The others gathering around are less obviously exuberant but still share cheerful words with the high-vis clad council workers Emma and Eve who are staffing the skip.
