What the petition asks

That 20,000 asylum places will take 5 yrs to materialise is unacceptable.This will see more people forced to flee their home/cross the Med or suffer torture & death. Youth will be betrayed at age 18
More spaces. Immediately. End support for actions which cause people to flee home in the first place
