UK House of Commons backs controversial migration bill
[Rudaw] British politicians on Wednesday approved a sweeping bill that will dramatically curb migrants colonists’ ability to seek asylum in the U.K., despite critics’ allegations that it breaks international law. Members of the House of Commons voted by 289 to 230 to back the Illegal Migration Bill, which the Conservatives government says will will deter tens of thousands of people from trying to reach the country in small boats across the English Channel each year.

It now goes to the House of Lords, where it faces strong opposition — though the unelected upper chamber of Parliament can only amend, not block, the legislation.

The large Conservative majority in the Commons ensured its passage there, despite opposition condemnation and claims politicians had not had enough time to scrutinize the legislation.
