superb to hear this clear and articulate defence of how people respnd what they start to actualy think about the horrors that refugees have experienced
The response to the crisis in the #Ukraine has shown how deeply out of step the Government's #AntiRefugeeBill is with the empathy and compassion of the British public. Here, @BellaSankey highlights this on @BBCRadio4's #MoralMaze, and why MPs must vote against the Bill next week.
Shoutout to all the organisers and our intern @jm_zeina for her support. Thank you to our intern Annie for the powerful orange table, Eduardo and @Ramanzmz for their support in the #HumanLibrary and the artwork from Penally & Massive thanks for @Annas_paintings and @LSA_Art ✊🏽
I call on @DrBenSpencer to join the #Freedom50 of Conservative MPs opposing #offshoredetention. Please stop the UK adopting this failed experiment to send refugees, incl. people from #Ukraine, to remote detention camps. @detentionaction https://t.co/Hrx7I8I1aG
Unless there is success cancelling the whole sorry, vicious, unworkable,internationally illegal and horrendously expensive (Tories note) bill is not just dumped. I forgot shameful.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has confirmed that Priti Patel complained to the Irish government that Ireland’s welcoming policy towards Ukrainian refugees would allow them to reach the UK by the back door https://t.co/U0mb6keUEZ
Some really excellent news: the Government has today removed the "family worker exemption". Traffickers will no longer be able to defend the failure to pay the national minimum wage, or indeed any salary at all, on the basis that the worker has been treated as a family member.
@JFCrisp@ColinYeo1 A young woman recognised as trafficked/a slave who waited nrly two years for her substantive interview last Nov. She was refused this month & told she could go (with a baby, no resources) to a diff part of her country away from her family who trafficked her. Fair & just system
I've heard literally the opposite from multiple people who are in Calais today including Ukrainians themselves. They say they are told they must travel to Paris or Brussels to submit a visa application. Some can't even book an appointment online as says no slots are available
