Corbyn and Polanski condemn UK's plans to seize jewellery from asylum seekers

British opposition politicians have condemned the government's proposed asylum reforms which would allow for the seizure of jewellery and valuables from asylum seekers. Green Party leader Zack Polanski and independent MP Jeremy Corbyn branded the proposals "disgraceful" and "dehumanising." The plan, apparently borrowed from Denmark, is intended to make asylum seekers contribute to the costs of processing their cases. A Home Office minister defended the policy, stating that those with assets like cars or money in the bank should help pay for their accommodation and support.
