Failed asylum seeker families to be offered up to £40k to leave
Families of failed asylum seekers will be offered up to £40,000 to leave the UK under a trial scheme announced by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood.
Mahmood said the government would seek to forcibly remove failed asylum seekers if they do not accept "incentive payments" of up to £10,000 per person, capped at four per family, within seven days.
The scheme is expected to target about 150 families living in taxpayer-funded accommodation, and the Home Office estimates it could save £20m if successful.

Err... Can I apply? I'd love to more than double my salary. Right now.
Sounds too good to be true. 40K and you get to leave the shithole before things get really bad
I know logic suggests that this is cheaper than following the legal process to remove someone, but fuck me is this a brain dead idea. Its as if they want Reform to get in
