The govt's #bordersbill denies refugee children basic human rights. To say I'm disgusted is an understatement. Child refugees are not on a joyride - they have fled to escape war and persecution. All I ask is that we take our fair share

@ReadingRefugees Thanks so much the insightful panel’s thoughts so far… Another question for the panel - what does the panel think the most important thing government should be doing or changing from here to enable the UK to be a place of welcome and sanctuary?

[Emily Lloyd @Emily_SC_Lloyd]

@ReadingRefugees Thanks so much for the evening so far… Q for the panel - how does the panel think public attitudes towards asylum seekers and refugees changed during the pandemic if all?

@caspertk ...that I was still on 😆

[Emily Lloyd @Emily_SC_Lloyd]

@caspertk Such a great question...I think seeing parental leave as a very challenging secondment to a different, demanding, fulfilling role is helpful. Often people inadvertently said, ‘how was your break?’ I felt a bit like an endurance athlete returning from a mind altering expedition
