‘We’ll take 50,000 more Syrian refugees,’ Liberal Democrats pledge

‘Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron has pledged to resettle 50,000 more Syrian refugees in the UK if the party wins the general election.
Farron urged Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party to follow his example by pledging to allow those displaced in camps throughout the Middle East to come to the UK.
The Conservative government originally pledged to settle 20,000 refugees in 2015, then the following year promised to try to settle 3,000 unaccompanied children.
However, in February of this year the program closed and in reality just 350 children had been let in.
“Labour should match this [Liberal Democrat pledge], this is a challenge to other parties and particularly to the government,” the Lib Dem leader told the Guardian.’
