I went to look at Eurostat, BAMF and Home Office statistics for positive decisions on asylum cases for Germany and the UK 2015-2020 and added in also refugee resettlement quotas 1/2
#Refugee and humanitarian protection granted in Germany and UK, 2015-2020 (including #refugeeresettlement)
fyi @PeterStefanovi2
or if you want to get an overall picture, here the total for 2015-2020, i have also separated the refugee resettlement quotas, yes, the UK has taken marginally more resettled refugees, but one has to be really disingenuous to forget to mention how quotas are a tiny fraction...
of the people that receive protection in Germany and the UK

Yesterday in #PMQs @BorisJohnson claims that the UK has done more than anyone else in Europe to support refugees & that the measures to support Ukrainian refugees fleeing the Russian invasion are very generous, both statements are very far from the truth. 1/

@BorisJohnson Let's start with what @BorisJohnson actually said responding to the excellent questions by @Ianblackford_MP & @LSRPlaid. 2/

'Since 2015 the UK is the country in Europe that has taken more #refugees' says @BorisJohnson, let's #FactCheck this. The graph below is based on Eurostat, Home Office and BAMF data. Image

"most Ukrainians will want to stay in Ukraine, but if they leave they’ll want to be as close to their home country as possible in order to be able to come back in the future."
what a pile of cynical nonsense from @DominicRaab

theguardian.com/world/2022/mar…
1 - the EU is 4,422,773 km2, the distance between Kyiv and London is 2400 km, Kyiv to Madrid is 3700km
2- has @DominicRaab heard about Easyjet, Wizz, Ryanair? It is faster and cheaper to travel to London than many cities in neighbouring countries by train/car
3- if I was working in the UK and my elderly parents were in Ukraine now, all I would want is for them to join me in the safety of my home, NOT for them to stay in a refugee camp alone somewhere near the border of Ukraine

What do you do if you are a righwing tabloid and see your beloved PM struggling?

The size of the #migration headline is inversely proportional to the size of the news that requires cover up.
Or, if the beloved PM writes for you, well you just pretend there was no #cbi speech altogether and you drop a call to a friendly minister to get a #Brexit bravado headline instead.
If the phone line of friendly minister one is busy, you call friendly minister two and publish an 'exclusive story'. To reinforce your loyalty you also drop on the front-page a royal news.

Speaking to @BBCNewsnight about the moral panic surrounding boat arrivals across the English Channel and the need to defend the right to claiming #asylum
A 20 minute interview was distilled down to less than 2 minutes, but a lot of the conversation also filtered into the rest of the piece.
To go ve some perspective to the alleged #asylumcrisis, in 2021 Q2 Germany received almost four times more #asylum applications than the UK.
The growth in sea arrivals is a fact, however we should also mention the asylum applications are still below 2019 levels and well below 2000s levels. @BBCNewsnight

The rhetoric of big numbers ('there are 200 milion migrants we need a global response') is producing unplanned side effects. Rightwing parties are using it to mobilize voters against the 'invasion' by foreigners
#CharlesMichel resignation

theguardian.com/world/2018/dec…
There is huge confusion on what the #GlobalCompactForMigration is for and what it can do. It is NOT about the 220 million migrants in the world. This figure includes everyone who has left their country of origin for more than 12 months, is also someone who left Italy 18 years ago
What the #GlobalCompactMigration is really about is an infinitesimally smaller number of people who are moving now and what countries could do (it is not binding) to manage this mobility better.
