Took him long enough to be shamed into doing this, without the criticism, I doubt he would have.

Better late than never but the criticism of his rhetoric and lack of real action more rapidly remain for me.

He now needs to be looking even more long term and making sure he carries on 'really' helping more too.

What is Good
these are the Legal Refugees
from UN bases outside of Syria

Not from Criminal / Profit First/Murdering - Smugglers.

Good for him.
Sounds like a realistic number to manage for now.

Yes, sounds realistic. Good for him, and in the face of the usual outrageous criticism from the left. Genuine refugees and humanitarian aid have always been a deserving causes in my eyes and our record confirms we're both generous and timely with our aid.

It's a sensible starting point where we can see how we manage with this increase and be assured that they are genuine refugees. It's true that he has dithered over this and we might not have done anything were it not for the picture of that dead boy on the beach but then it wouldn't be the first time that one powerful image has provoked a change in policy.

Shamed into taking refugees, and none that have already fled to Europe as the drone strikes continue maybe dave is hoping there won't be that many left so he won't be held to the 20,000 over the next 4 and a bit yrs?...

...So he's taking 20,000 refugee children, bringing them to the UK and then deporting them again once they're 18?

You don't have all the facts either, Arista, but I'd rather take the word of person in the House of Lords on this one.

..I can't see anything reported on the '18yrs old' thing...so far what he's said I believe is...'They can stay for five years, have the right to work and access public funds. After five years they can apply to settle in the UK.' ...the funding laid out is more a 5yr plan thing from the overseas aid budget/a settling time.. and after that time, the government will consider, in co-operation with local councils, how it will be financed further...

20,000 is pretty reasonable considering the PM has pretty much ignored this for weeks on end. At least he's showing that the UK is doing something.
