Shocking to see the impact #HostileEnvironment in action.

How many more stories of misery and stress are out there, unheard?

The cruelty seems to be the point.

In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme

I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions

FFS.

A country doesn't automatically and immediately become safe at the moment of regime change. It can take years, if not decades.

The Labour Government's Home Office seems just as determined to maintain the #HostileEnvironment as its Tory predecessors.

We stand against this deal and what it represents. We will be releasing an in-depth analysis and statement tomorrow. 📻
