Enver Solomon, head of the Refugee Council, warns that the Labour Party risks failing to reform the UK's asylum system if it continues to adopt Tory rhetoric focused on deportation and detention without opening safe routes. Solomon calls for language centered on compassion and humanity to address the vilification of refugees. Meanwhile, Kemi Badenoch has launched her campaign to become the Tory leader, emphasizing the rejection of 'easy answers' and criticizing the previous government's handling of immigration and net zero targets. Badenoch, currently the frontrunner, faces a close contest with Robert Jenrick and Tom Tugendhat according to recent polls. The Conservative leadership race is heating up with multiple candidates vying to succeed Rishi Sunak, each presenting distinct policy priorities and criticisms of Labour's current administration.
