@MelanieFelt @CroydonLabour @Leila4Norbury @PatsyjCummings Could you clarify what "standing up" entails? Have you visited those of us compelled to reside at Queen's "Hotel"? Have you personally visited any of the "hotels" refugees establishments? Have you attended any of our meetings?
We are weary of being used as pawns. Enough is enough

How do the people feel about having their faces scanned by the police?

Thank you to everyone who has fought against the shameful #RwandaBill

It isn't law yet

MPs have voted it through, but it now goes to the House of Lords

We'll all keep fighting with everything we have to stop it

[Peter Underwood 💚 @GreenPeterU]

UN lawyers have looked at the UK-Rwanda scheme and found that it doesn’t meet the UK’s obligations under international law

Any MP who doesn’t vote against the Government’s #RwandaBill is saying that they are happy for the UK to be a rogue state

@MalcolmBellBG @SimonJTFox @magicmarz @LabourSJ @CroydonLabour @CroydonGreens @CroydonTories bsolutely crucial for candidates to understand their party's manifesto. A 6-week canvassing window falls short, especially for residents new to voting or unaware of MPs' roles. No announcement from Lib Dems for Croydon West, though they've been invited. https://t.co/TCAfRTcx8w

Is Croydon Labour evading democratic accountability? Our statement raises concerns over their repeated absence from community engagements. Despite numerous invites, their no-shows seem to reflect a lack of engagement with constituents. Join us on Jan 23, 2024, 6 pm at Share Cafe.

After a successful first hustings, we're excited to connect with Croydon West for impactful discussions. Despite numerous invites, it's disappointing that Croydon Labour has once again declined to join our community hustings a concerning blow to the democratic process.All Welcome

@ClimateConnie @SimonJTFox @magicmarz @LabourSJ @CroydonLabour @CroydonGreens @CroydonTories After 4 attempts, Croydon Labour declined community hustings, citing "prior engagement." No specifics, no alternative dates, no rep offered for MP Jones despite our suggestion. We've received similar DM questions. Please see the statement we've released. https://t.co/TCAfRTcx8w
