Scottish National Party — Perth and Kinross-shire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 November 2025

Debate

Asylum Policy

Contribution

In its manifesto, Labour promised to defend migrants’ rights and build an immigration system based on compassion and dignity. Instead, we have a policy that is welcomed by Reform UK and has even found favour with Tommy Robinson. Throwing refugees into destitution, denying any meaningful route to citizenship and forcible evictions—where exactly is the compassion and dignity in that?
