Colin and Sonia have rounded up January 2024. We cover the government's claims to have cleared the 'legacy' asylum backlog and look at the three backlogs that have replaced it. We also discuss the latest in an increasingly long list of cases in which the Home Office has behaved poorly. We also cover everything else from gender based asylum claims, to new rules for business visitors and care homes both losing and keeping their sponsor licences, as well as an interesting case on detention and the Illegal Migration Act. We conclude with an invite to former Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration and (hopefully not also former!) Free Movement podcast listener David Neal to join us on a future episode.
