This wonderful man just gave his winnings to the Refugee Council 🧡

'If everything in your world went wrong and you had to take everything you owned and your family, and just head for the hills - what a desperate and broken situation you'd be in... We should help those people'

Theresa May didn’t record a vote on the Bill facilitating survivors of slavery to be sold to Rwanda.

Not one more word about her being an advocate for survivors of slavery. Not one.

Shame on anyone who had any role in pushing this legislation through or who failed to stop it. May the stain of it never wash away.

Very best of luck to Deighton Pierce Glynn

You just woke up in a country where the ruling party thinks it can pass laws to say 2+2 = 5, and can muzzle the courts when they say 2+2 = 4

Vulnerable asylum seekers offered £3K to go to #Rwanda . Some may unwittingly accept, providing a tiny victory to govt. But they know that the #Rwanda Plan is not viable nor a deterrent of any sort, but by the time the country catches up, it won't matter.

This is a huge setback for anyone who believes in the rule of law. Its implications for our constitution can’t be overstated.

But I promise you, this isn’t over yet. We are not going to abandon refugees without a fight.

Refugees welcome here always ✊🧡

Unless blocked, Sunak is going to send c.100 terrified refugees 4,000 miles away in a symbolic gesture that will neither 'stop the boats' nor save him electorally. The main result will be to cause intense pain to a group of people who have already suffered plenty.

It would be of serious concern if judges were being recruited by the government to do their political bidding. Where is the oversight of this process and where will these cases be heard? #RwandaBill

Trudi Warner’s Placard reflects “what is regularly read on the Old Bailey plaque by jurors, and what our highest courts recognise as part of our constitutional landscape”: ruling on AG v Warner, refusing permission to bring contempt of court proceedings

All the more egregious to say this on Stephen Lawrence Day

“We deserve to be sent to a care home in Nigeria”

Rishi Sunak confirms 25 courtrooms have been found to immediately process Rwanda asylum claims.

What a kick in the teeth for the thousands of people waiting for their day in court due to the government letting the backlog spiral out of control.

The Home Office offered Windrush scandal victim Richard Black £40,000 in compensation; £1,000 for each year he was denied what was rightfully his.

Total cockroach excrement.

Good to see Jacqueline (Jacqui) Mckenzie fighting the good fight.

It took litigation by ⁦Freedom from Torture🧡⁩ ⁦PCS Union⁩ ⁦Channel Rescue⁩ ⁦Care4Calais⁩ to stop the deadly pushbacks policy. Plus opposition by MoD.

Now a whistleblower says civil servants “didn’t care if these people would die”. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…

Windrush Lives Jo Maugham Same as Post Office. Home Office instigate illegal action against individuals. Then decide on level and timing of compensation (for Home Office crimes). Crazy. Take compensation process away from the criminals.
