As the government prepares to implement their hostile & costly policy of deportation flights to Rwanda for people with no connections to Rwanda, I’m re-sharing @PSCNorthEast’s commentary on the impact of the Nationality & Borders Act.
The UK must be better than this.
Do get along to these events today!
@KONPNorthEast are doing important work highlighting the dangers in the Health and Social Care Bill.
We must keep a universal NHS, free at the point of use if we want to tackle health inequalities as best we can.

Important statement from psychologists with others, about the harm that will be unleashed by today’s cut to universal credit. @UK_ACP@UKDCP@BPSOfficial
Health Sec says that people must rely less on the state and more on their families.
The cut to #UniversalCredit is affecting whole communities of families who don’t have savings to keep each other afloat.
@sajidjavid & @theresecoffey: the “state” is the lifeboat you’re sinking
8/8: If the government refuses to change course, build back better and "levelling up" will be hollow slogans for those in areas of our region where community support and an affordable standard of living have been eroded.
7/8: The measure to cut welfare will threaten the precarious livelihoods of those who are the most poor, and increase people's exposure to the social and material determinants of poor physical and mental health.
