@JFCrisp https://t.co/TP9yHjhbSh Francis Webber talked us through the dangerous precedent that was set in the conviction of Ibrahima Bah, the Senegalese teenager convicted of ‘piloting’ a dinghy through the channel. He was a child, under duress.

Here we are, through the looking glass!

#Migration in Britain, post Brexit, largely from the commonwealth.

A perfect illustration of Ambalavaner Sivanandans’ dictum

‘We are here, because you were there’

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

Hundreds of people seeking asylum are being housed in a completely inappropriate ex-military base.

I met with residents yesterday who told me of the mental health crisis gripping the site.

The government has committed to closing the Bibby Stockholm. Wethersfield must shut too.

[Adam Schwarz @AdamJSchwarz]

A brilliant and moving maiden speech from @Uma_Kumaran:

"I am the daughter of Tamil refugees... Britain welcomed my parents with open arms so they could rebuild their lives and flourish... It's the story of Britain and British values at its best".

An interesting Sunday read 👇🏾

[Kenan Malik @kenanmalik]

“What other policies might we – or should we – expect critics of immigration to endorse if they are genuine in their belief that their aim is to defend working-class interests?” My @ObserverUK column: https://t.co/OJJvQ0vtoz

[UNHCR United Kingdom @UNHCRUK]

The new UK Government has the chance to better protect refugees in the UK and globally.

In a new paper, UNHCR outlines 5 workable measures rooted in international cooperation to enable a principled and effective management of refugee movements.

Nadhim, the boy from
Baghdad who fled persecution, had he arrived yesterday, would be forcibly sent to Rwanda, a policy he supports, inexplicable!

[Madeleine Sumption @M_Sumption]

My review of the BBC's migration coverage was published yesterday. It's quite long so here is the 6-point summary.

James Robottom: The Safety of Rwanda Act, Slavery and the Common Law https://t.co/V3r5WTBYT8

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

Have written for @theipaper about why the Rwanda plan won’t achieve its aim: to be any kind of deterrent. It’s a piece of politics, not policy. One devised by a group of people who clearly have never spent any time talking to those trying to cross. https://t.co/Z2HiOwF8uT

[Refugee Council 🧡 @refugeecouncil]

🚨 Our new report, out today, shows that we're heading towards a catastrophic system meltdown because of the Illegal Migration Act and the Rwanda Plan. Over 100,000 people seeking asylum will be stranded in “permanent limbo” by the end of 2024. 🧵

Suella Braverman's decision to abandon three post-Windrush reform pledges was unlawful, the High Court hears

[Public Law Project @publiclawprojct]

The #SafetyofRwandaBill passed last night.

The Bill risks refugees' safety.

It undermines the UK's international obligations.

It undercuts the courts' role in protecting human rights - and all at enormous expense. 🧵

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

We retain deep misgivings about the Safety of Rwanda Bill, for the precedent it sets at home and for other countries in how we respond to the most vulnerable.

Joint statement with @CottrellStephen and church leaders across England: https://t.co/kjM3nIWMze.

[The Law Society @TheLawSociety]

⚖️ The Safety of Rwanda Bill will soon become law, but we believe it remains a defective, constitutionally improper piece of legislation. (1/4)

[Lizzie Dearden @lizziedearden]

Here is the latest statement from French authorities about the disaster in the Channel this morning, confirming that five people have died - 3 men, a woman and a "little girl"

They are believed to have died after the boat hit a sandbank close to shore

On the risks of refoulement and complicity in torture inhuman and degrading treatment - our joint statement in relation to obligations of airlines and airline regulators. Previous communcations to the UK authorities linked below. #UK

[Natalie Sedacca @nataliesedacca]

Regardless of UK-Rwanda agreement and ‘Safety of Rwanda’ Bill, airlines and regulators could be complicit in violating international human rights and court orders by facilitating removals to Rwanda - UN experts @smullallylaw Gehad Madi & @DrAliceJEdwards https://t.co/c3NZZZ2eNf

[Ben & Jerry's UK 🧡 @benandjerrysUK]

Morning! The Rwanda Bill is back in Parliament today.

A reminder that no matter what Parliament votes for, we will continue to stand with people seeking safety and we will continue to say STOP THE PLANES.
