📢Public Interest Law Centre & @RAMFELCharity have been challenging the lack of fee waiver for bereaved partners through judicial review. The govt eventually withdrew & agreed to introduce a waiver by July 11, but the election announcement has put this in jeopardy.

🧵🧵
📢1/ 11 MPs have written to Foreign Sec @JamesCleverly urging him to introduce a fee waiver for bereaved spouses seeking indefinite leave to remain in the UK. The extortionate fee, £2,885, prices many grieving women in particular out of the status to which they're entitled.

[Public Interest Law Centre. @publiclawcentre]

Public Interest Law Centre represents the Claimant in this case and we hope that this government will do what they had promised and resolve our client’s case and introduce the fee waiver without further delay.

Reports tonight that tomorrow’s immigration bill will apply retrospectively. Does anyone have a list of criminal legislation that has been applied retrospectively (other than the 1991 War Crimes Act that covered WW2). Thanks !

BREAKING: High Court rules that the British Government’s plan to send some asylum seekers from the UK to Rwanda, to have their claims considered there, is LAWFUL and does not breach the Refugee Convention or human rights laws.

IMPORTANT: Dominic Raab’s controversial and much criticised Bill of Rights Bill to be abandoned. My colleague @ChrisMasonBBC told that the deeply divisive plan to replace the Human Rights Act (which the government has not got a mandate for) is going to be shelved.
