3 years ago, copy paste to today. Different governments, same old rubbish!

[Nathan Stevens @nathestevens]

A really useful and balanced thread. The new Act just adds more bureaucracy to an already underfunded, understaffed and labyrinthine system (not to mention the shocking inhumanity of two tier refugee status and cross-continental removals).

[Nathan Stevens @nathestevens]

Deja vu just now reading the latest stupid policy from Labour. Performative rubbish which is cruel and unnecessary, plus administratively unworkable. Tories brought something similar in but abandoned it after a while as they realised they’d have to be re-deciding cases constantly

[Nathan Stevens @nathestevens]

Mahmood expected to adopt 'temporary stays only' rule for successful asylum seekers - the death knell for progressive people voting for Labour. Labour isn’t the party of the left https://t.co/TToxx1cuHO

Migrant sex offender given £500 after threat to disrupt deportation - dodgy reporting as usual. This is totally normal and saved the taxpayer probably tens of thousands. https://t.co/L0oAley3vW

[Nathan Stevens @nathestevens]

Refugees to face longer route to UK settlement rights - more punishment for already battered refugees. What is the point of Labour again? https://t.co/CY21hfHfbE

[Nathan Stevens @nathestevens]

#FakeLaw used by the Prime Minister who, of all people, should be aware how rare it is to be successful under Article 3 ECHR arguments relating to prison conditions or differing human rights standards. And if he believes in asylum, create safe routes! https://t.co/bCUzjocloJ

[Nathan Stevens @nathestevens]

Mahmood to demand migrants earn right to settled status - no thought of the devastating impact this will have on working class families, doing jobs that don’t pay a living wage. Disproportionate effect on women and those with caring responsibilities.
Wrong https://t.co/qlcicvqAa1

@LouCalvey We’ve already had Windrush II with EVisas, this will just be Windrush III

[Nathan Stevens @nathestevens]

@LouCalvey Yeah that’s why I couldn’t really understand this “announcement”. Trying to bring something in…that’s already in place? Maybe to try and catch British Citizens who are black and brown but don’t have ID? Smells like a distraction technique to try and wrestle back headlines

[Nathan Stevens @nathestevens]

@LouCalvey Yeah that was taken from the BBC article earlier in the week - which mostly showed how horrible, grim and demeaning staying in hotels is for asylum-seekers. No surprise the Mail cherry picked one or two lines

[Nathan Stevens @nathestevens]

Spanish PM calls for Israel to be barred from international sport 👏🏻 let’s hope many countries and international sporting bodies (and Eurovision) follow suit. Pressure must build that extremist regime https://t.co/BE38wXBu6g

@WorldAthletics @WATokyo25 You’d have an awkward flight sitting between Kerr and Ingebritsen 😆

[Nathan Stevens @nathestevens]

@SkyNews @KieranMullanUK There’s also no way for almost all asylum seekers to enter the U.K. legally - so they don’t have a “choice”. They absolutely deserve our sympathy and protection.

[Nathan Stevens @nathestevens]

Their gall and willingness to stomp all over countries’ sovereignty knows no bounds. Hopefully more stringent condemnation will come https://t.co/XivOFg6KBJ

@BennnyH Barring refugees from being reunited with their families, who they will already have been separated from for years, and who will likely be living in dangerous, life-threatening circumstances. Sickening and so regressive

[Nathan Stevens @nathestevens]

The latest stab in the heart for refugees announced today by this horrific government. Destroying integration and punishing people who have already been separated from family for years with more separation and isolation. Indistinguishable from the far right

[Nathan Stevens @nathestevens]

Five journalists among 20 killed in Israeli double strike on hospital - another horrific, needless war crime targeting emergency workers and then rescuers with a second strike. More pressure and heavy sanctions needed https://t.co/xeeV78S5Gc

[Nathan Stevens @nathestevens]

BBC apologises after Jenrick accused of xenophobia - why apologise for someone speaking the truth? If anything Krish Kandiah held back - should’ve called Jenrick out for the foul racist he is https://t.co/LPRV6tho4W

[Nathan Stevens @nathestevens]

Another brutal war crime committed by the IDF. 168 journalists (and this number may be higher depending on the source) have been murdered in Gaza since October 2023, easily the most anywhere in the world in any conflict in recent decades. https://t.co/nxE51ejxuV

Tens of thousands turn out for Sydney pro-Palestinian march 👏🏻🥰 https://t.co/SIO1qZbeNw
