It's not that simple though. As that article says, more interviews and decisions have been held than previously. And as more investment is put into the processing, this will increase.
Sure, the journey to this point is the consequence of the political decisions made by the incumbent Governments in the last 30 years, however the circumstances now are completely different to what we previously faced.
I must have got confused somewhere down the line, as I believed I was replying to your post concerning the cost of asylum seekers, £6.4 billion, I believe. Which IS a direct result of the previous government...
Well it is really. An application is reviewed, a decision made and then appealed will still only be one number in the backlog wherever it is in the chain. I fully acknowledge though that the processing has picked up a lot which is great but to me it still means arrivals are outstripping the processing speed despite the large numbers of civvys transferred in to deal with it.
Sure, the Tories largely created the mess, and that’s why they were trounced at the general election. They may never recover. However Labour are currently doubling down on the Tories incompetence.
Actually brexit has harmed the economy so every tough decision is directly linked to brexit. No one is even pretending it has not harmed the economy anymore are they? Those who are still pro brexit are now arguing we did not go hard enough rather than it being a bad thing per se. Who would have thought that cutting off the trade legs with our biggest trading partners would be a bad idea? And then it has caused more of the “wrong type” of immigrants. Again. We knew this would happen.
I know how it goes, Brexit is bad, ignorance is strength, freedom is slavery and war is peace.

So just to be clear. You think language is a bigger barrier to trade than a massive ocean? Language was not even a barrier this summer when I was in a Turkey and I had a long chat with the cleaner even though we could speak none of the other’s language. Tech is a wonderful thing but as yet it can’t seem to make oceans disappear.I know how it goes, Brexit is bad, ignorance is strength, freedom is slavery and war is peace.
If of course, you were really only concerned about this country’s economic performance you would equally realise at this point there is an opportunity to deepen links to our biggest national trading partner with whom we share a common language and legal frameworks. A trading partner that will be super boosted by Trump’s presidency, regardless of whether you love him or hate him.
The EU is failing on multiple fronts, principally because it’s bureaucratic monster inhibiting growth not finding ways to maximise it, and if you don’t believe me then check out Mario Draghi’s recent comments.
Musk praises Draghi, calls for less EU red tape
Elon Musk’s X is subject to a Commission probe on compliance with the bloc’s content-moderation rulebook.
I suspect for many though it’s not really about economic performance, and if given a choice of a trade deal with the US or rejoining the EU, they would happily climb into bed with a bureaucratic monster. I know the mantra, ignorance is strength etc.
In the paraphrased words of Dick Emery, "I like you, you're funny"!I know how it goes, Brexit is bad, ignorance is strength, freedom is slavery and war is peace.

Only half?
Hold that thought though…
Innocent until proved guilty although if she was a Tory guaranteed many would just assume she's guilty.
Was a very stupid appointment given they knew her family links before hand, just asking for trouble.
