Imagine the fury from our anti asylum mob if £290m had been spent on increasing benefits to help those who have suffered from crippling inflation and a cost of living crisis.

The UK has given Rwanda a further £100m this year as part of its deal to relocate asylum seekers there.
The payment was made in April, the Home Office's top civil servant said in a letter to MPs, after £140m had already been sent to the African nation.
Sir Matthew Rycroft said another payment of £50m was expected next year.
