<quotes>

The shadow home secretary, Yvette Cooper, has said refugees in Ukraine are facing "Kafkaesque" bureaucracy as they try to navigate Home Office visa requirements.

The shadow home secretary cited cases including those of a woman who had travelled "extensively" to fulfil the requirements, including to Warsaw to give biometric data; and a mother and son who had been granted a visa but then had it revoked.

"This is Kafkaesque: what on earth is going on? Why is the home secretary so totally incapable of getting a grip on this?" Cooper asked.

"Why on earth is it taking so long? Why are they still demanding reams of bureaucracy, reams of information? Tens of thousands of people are still stuck in the system. Families are desperate. People across the country have said they want to help, and yet the Home Office is letting them down."

The Home office minister Kevin Foster conceded that the application forms were not available in Ukrainian. He said translating them would take "a reasonably significant amount of technical work", and suggested it would then be difficult to find enough Ukrainian speakers to process them.

I am not sure why people keep saying Patel is incapable or hasn't got a grip on things. She's doing a perfectly fine job and the scheme is working brilliantly. We have hardly seen a Ukrainian make it here.
