To do so, I believe we must restore fairness to our asylum system, fairness both to those who are fleeing war and persecution, and also fairness towards those communities already here who bear the burden of supporting them.

My message to the Eritrean government is simple: take back your nationals or face a complete ban on your citizens entering the UK.
Eritrea has had every chance to accept the return of criminals and those with no right to be in the UK. Unlike other countries, it has refused.
I can therefore announce today that I will expand, with immediate effect, police support to political figures who are not currently members of parliament.
I will not hesitate to impose further measures on other countries refusing to cooperate.
