Utterly disgraceful.. the right to apply for asylum should be protected and upheld at all costs. This is clearly an act of theatrical cruelty and so obviously a last ditch attempt of the Tories at clinging on to power.

I ran out of choices. Please help me evacuate my family from Gaza to Egypt. I’m hoping to travel to Egypt as soon as I have the amount needed to facilitate their exit directly. Please share and donate as much as you can. gofund.me/680a516f #GoFundMe
