Standing with people sanctuary, standing against the Rwanda Deportations

📍 Downing Street

This is the Rwanda Plan in action. Thousands of people have been detained in raids featuring battering rams to break open doors, separating distressed family members, and hauling people out in front of their neighbours and friends. Locked up for asking for help. (1/2)

'We can't just tear up the illegal, unworkable, inhumane, ineffective, unaffordable, cruelty signalling disaster of a policy! That would be mad!'

On the cowardice of 'holding the line'

See you there.

'For those with the wrong opinions, the group is now a threat to Jewish safety.'

Every policy failure of the last 14 years - housing, refugees, education, health and social care, wages, local authorities - creates its own crisis and adds to the polycrisis we're in.

These aren't abstract. There are real stories behind the austerity.

🚨The government has said it is going to start arresting people they think they can send to Rwanda. Solid calm advice from the brilliant Lou Calvey here ⬇️and keep reading down for excellent advice from Toufique Hossain from DuncanLewisPublicLaw.

If 1980 by Estelle was released today, it would be called 2000

The fact that Jenrick is offended by asylum seekers - and that the Telegraph uncritically promotes that line - tells us A Lot.

And as the former Immigration Minister, why did Jenrick make sure seeking asylum was as dangerous as possible?

This piece from alan rusbridger is so important for any observers of both the Jewish diaspora and of media influence. It misses one salient point, which is that under this leadership, the JC seems to have traded in the latter for the former.

Every professional and armchair hasbaraist owes a great deal of people an apology. 35,000 dead and millions displaced in a forever war, and for what?

Somehow, 'catastrophic system meltdown' underplays this government's intentional sabotage of our asylum system and the destruction of our global reputation.

Why do you think it is that hard right politicians would rather talk about nonviolent protests on a US campus than 35,000 Palestinians dead? Than 200 days in captivity? Than millions of Palestinians and Israelis displaced?

Don't let them continue their forever war.

NEW: French coastguard confirm that five people have died attempting to cross the Channel.

The five include three men, a woman and a child. French media are reporting the child is a four year old girl.

The Rwanda Bill helps no one, but harms everyone it touches.

Instead of this performatively cruel scheme, we need a new plan for refugees – one that is fair, kind, and works for everyone.

The Rwanda bill passed.

Very few asylum seekers will ever be sent there, but this morning, thousands of homeless men, women & children who came to us with nothing & asked for help but we left in limbo, have fear hanging over them of violent deportation to a dictatorship #r4today

For 5 years, Israel deported asylum seekers to Rwanda. When they stopped the scheme in 2018, it was found to be illegal, ineffective, and deeply damaging to the most vulnerable.

Despite knowing this, Sunak is doing the exact same thing today. We should all be ashamed we're here.

The timeline has reached 'Gideon Falter is Rosa Parks' levels of unhinged

This story keeps being written as if he is some random bystander, rather than the CEO of an organisation whose purpose is to ensure Jews are terrified of being in Britain & engineed a stunt to that effect. Why has our media collectively lost its ability to research and balance?
