Tony Liar Blair has rejected claims that Labour has given up the UK’s powers to set its own asylum laws, saying that Ministers had not given up the UK’s right to set its own laws and control its own borders.

Now I wonder how he can square that with the intervention from the EU Commision on Tuesday that the UK had done exactly that. Saying If a future British government were to enact laws that contravened EU regulations, the commission would begin “infringement proceedings”. Those would be followed, if resistance continued, by legal action in the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg.

So there you have it, Labour has not given up UK’s powers to set its own asylum laws, just as long as they do not contravened the superior laws of the EU.
