🚨BREAKING: The UNHRC has called on the UK govt to withdraw its shameful Rwanda Bill.
The UN body has warned that the new Bill will lead to further discrimination, abuse and exploitation of migrants and refugees. @Refugees ein.org.uk/news/un-human-rig…

Mr Passarlay told the PA news agency: “It’s shocking and I’m not surprised, this is going to happen if we continue with the policies of hostility and deterrence and the lack of safe routes and humanitarian corridors.
Hope this doesn’t happen again. 😞 independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

Oh lovely - so now we’re voting on Govt plan to remove any restrictions on removal destinations for LGBT+ people. Why would they care, after all? These levels of callous cruelty are truly mind boggling #RefugeeBanBill

"We implore the Government to see sense and amend one of the most cruel and punitive parts of this awful bill"
In advance of MP's voting on the #RefugeeBanBill, 7 former child refugees who arrived on the Kinder transport in the 1930s including @AlfDubs wrote to the @thetimes

The Tory Immigration Bill will return to The Lords next week - they may want to turn this country into a dark, desperate, inward looking haven for the rich and privileged - but we will do everything we can to stop them, we will continue the fight - Britain is better than this.

Something has shifted in the public mood regarding refugees. I've been tweeting about refugees for many years but never before received such an upswell of sympathy, and near universal condemnation of the government's callous approach. Thank U to everyone for your positive tweets!
“One of the most vile, cowardly, egregious political acts I’ve ever witnessed.”

Govt has backed down to “only” automatically lock up child refugees without bail for 8 days under Braverman’s migration bill…
Before they’re sent to dangerous institutional accommodation to rot until they can be violently forced onto a plane to Rwanda.
What kindness. #r4today

Do these people represent your views? Either in the commons or the lords. Surely we are better than this?
Asked by @AlfDubs about disgraceful actions of @ukhomeoffice to remove cartoons from Kent reception as they are 'too welcoming for children', Minister says:
'It is the correct decision these facilities have the requisite decoration befitting their purpose'
📢Shameful cruelty
