Important thread.

It's come to my attention again that few people have any idea what the government's "stop the boats" illegal migration bill does, so:

It ends the right to seek asylum in the UK.

No decsions. No applications will be processed. From Afghans to Albanians. Limbo forever for all.

and last but def not least @jaws_stenhouse is presenting their awesome study on the genomic epidemiology of shigellosis in South Africa at P79!

24 hours to stop the #PublicOrderBill

1️⃣ Find your MP's Twitter https://t.co/OEilWxq0mL

2️⃣ Reply below "@[MP] Together with @AmnestyUK I'm terrified at the #PublicOrderBill's effect on our right to protest. Lords limited some of it, will you support? https://t.co/c1We4Bz7aG"

The UK govt's approach to migration is cruel and inhumane.

The absence of safe routes and the criminalisation of people seeking safety force more people to risk their lives at sea – with devastating effects.

RT or QT this to tell @SuellaBraverman we need safe routes now!

“If they really are refugees, why don’t they have to stay in the first safe country they reach?”

“Why don’t they just claim asylum in France?”

Here is my answer, once & for all. To Jonathan Gullis, and to everyone else who ever wondered.

This government has put out an NHS plan which seems to pit NHS patients against staff, despite the fact that NHS staff have never worked harder to keep patients safe.

If you think NHS patients+staff need to stand together to demand more from this government, pls RT 💙

The £400 energy payment will not be paid to you.

It goes straight into the pockets of the energy corps who yesterday posted 411% increase in profits.

Ultimately, taxpayers (you) will pay for that £400. So, in effect, it’s £400 stolen from you & handed to energy corporations.

[Cat Hobbs @CatHobbs]

We could just have public ownership instead of the taxpayer paying Octopus £1 billion to buy Bulb!

Now is the perfect time to set up a state owned energy supplier (like EDF in France which has kept bill rises to only 4%)

Via @refugeecouncil "The Government wants to criminalise people fleeing war and persecution and punish them for seeking safety.

Take 2 minutes to ask your MP to stand up for refugees."

EXCLUSIVE: The government has ditched its promised ban on conversion therapy.

A briefing document leaked to @itvnews states "The PM has agreed we should not move forward with legislation to ban LGBT conversion therapy".

It breaks 4 years of promises.

Another Met Police scandal: a black girl was stripped and searched at school. The search, which involved the exposure of her intimate body parts, took place without an appropriate adult present and with the knowledge that she was menstruating. Case review:

Why are we even entertaining the idea that we should pay for covid tests?

When was the last time you paid for any test? Chlamydia, HIV, blood test, x-ray? No never.

Conditioning us for more paid healthcare...
