Yesterday in #PMQs @BorisJohnson claims that the UK has done more than anyone else in Europe to support refugees & that the measures to support Ukrainian refugees fleeing the Russian invasion are very generous, both statements are very far from the truth. 1/

'Since 2015 the UK is the country in Europe that has taken more #refugees' says @BorisJohnson, let's #FactCheck this. The graph below is based on Eurostat, Home Office and BAMF data. 
I went to look at Eurostat, BAMF and Home Office statistics for positive decisions on asylum cases for Germany and the UK 2015-2020 and added in also refugee resettlement quotas 1/2

fyi @PeterStefanovi2
fyi @PeterStefanovi2
or if you want to get an overall picture, here the total for 2015-2020, i have also separated the refugee resettlement quotas, yes, the UK has taken marginally more resettled refugees, but one has to be really disingenuous to forget to mention how quotas are a tiny fraction...
Anyone who missed the piece earlier on @BBCr4today about #refugees on #lesbos please know there are many thousands of people crammed in appalling conditions into a camp intended for 2000, violence, little sanitation, NGOs reporting conditions to authorities but nothing changes.
In Cox's Bazaar #refugee camp in Bangladesh for #Rohingya people who have fled Myanmar there are nearly a million people living in 26 Sq. Km. reliefweb.int/report/banglad…
