Over 170 Members of Parliament have sent this important letter to @BorisJohnson asking him to cancel the deportation flight to Jamaica @NadiaWhittomeMP – at Hackney, London
The Home Office plans to deport 50 people to Jamaica on 11th February. Cancel the flight until the Lessons Learned Review is published and its recommendations implemented, or risk repeating the Windrush scandal. Over 170 colleagues and I wrote urging the Prime Minister to act.

It’s the 25th anniversary of John Candy’s passing. We cooked up a small tribute to a comedic genius and Canadian hero. If you haven’t seen much of his work, take a look at his films. He was a treasure. Thanks to @chriscandy4u and @therealjencandy. 🇨🇦
