Asylum and refugee issues used to be humanitarian issues but they have become much-debated political topics in the UK. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced the government will reopen the UK Resettlement Scheme (UKRS) in partnership with the United Nations (UN).
'We will take vulnerable refugees from camps across the world and give them the chance of a new and better life here in Britain. With the first arrivals beginning this year,' Mahmood said on social media. She also shared the same message while speaking at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool.
