Priti Patel’s New Plan for Immigration risks punishing refugees with no choice about how they seek safety, experts warn

In what the government is billing as the “biggest overhaul of the UK’s asylum system in decades”, the home secretary will announce on Wednesday that how people enter the UK will have a bearing on the progress of their asylum claim and their status if that claim is successful.
