“I’m a 16-year-old orphan from an East African country escaping a warzone and religious persecution... What is the safe and legal route for me?"
Conservative MP Tim Loughton asks Home Secretary Suella Braverman to explain how a refugee could reach the UK to claim asylum.
This clip of Gary Lineker from 2021 feels relevant to where we are now. He outlines his interest in 'refugee issues', how he considers himself a freelancer, how Tim Davie's never called to say 'you can't tweet that' - and that he doesn't think 'they could do that anyway'.
@DCBMEP You clearly don’t recognise that the UK is said to be a democracy and therefore different opinions can be aired.
There are deeply concerning similarities with Nazi ideology of the 1930's and not just over this latest 'policy' by the Conservatives govt.
It isn’t so much that those entrusted to run our country have demonstrated such dishonesty and morally bankruptcy. Sadly, we’ve known this for some time. No it’s that they are revealed as such dim-witted, incompetent intellectual minnows.
@RishiSunak Rishi Sunak -
2016: Brexit will immediately save us £20 billion.
2021: Brexit costs £100 billion
2016: Brexit will cut red tape for small businesses
2022: Brexit red tape is strangling small businesses
2016: Brexit will enhance UK trade
2022: You admit Brexit has damaged trade

If you think this government is failing NHS patients and staff, please could you RT this and follow me?
@EveryDoctorUK is working out if we can set up a legal challenge to hold them to account, and I need to connect with as many people as possible who want to push back 🚨💙
