Refugee Council CEO Enver Solomon has criticised the government’s planned reforms to the asylum and immigration system, saying Labour is “misguided” in claiming communities are being torn apart by small boat crossings. He argued divisions stem instead from a failing economy and collapsing public services. Report by Etemadil.

00:00I didn't think a Labour government would do this, and I think the Labour government is misguided.
00:04It says that it fears that communities are being torn apart.
00:08Well, communities are being torn apart not because of boat crossings.
00:12They're being torn apart because of the failing economy, because of the fact that public services have collapsed.
00:19And it's those things that they need to address, because that's how you create the glue, the bonds that bring communities and bring people back together.
