47% : UK attitudes to migration and asylum are mixed but, in the round, they are softening.
47% : Attitudes to asylum are more complex.
43% : Labour accepts the points-based system for work visas now that Brexit has ended free movement.
41% : Dangerous journeys across the Channel are nobody's idea of a safe or effective system for claiming asylum.
