A “crazy” contradiction in Rishi Sunak’s flagship small-boats law has left the Home Office powerless to deport or grant asylum to more than 22,000 migrants already in the UK, i can reveal.
At least half of the asylum seekers left in limbo indefinitely will be living in costly hotels likely to be costing the taxpayer more than £1.5m a day.
The situation has been caused by the Illegal Migration Act which requires the Government to “remove” illegal migrants but only applies to those who entered the country from 20 July, 2023.
