‘The paper proposes that new legislation must “disapply” the relevant provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998 and Modern Slavery Act 2015’ - remarkable we’ve got to a stage that this kind of extremism is treated as a serious proposal

Keep thinking about this response to whistleblower allegations that children seeking asylum in the UK were threatened and subjected to racist abuse by staff at a Home Office-run hotel.

Because of course if you’re an unaccompanied asylum seeking child who’s been placed in a hotel and abused by staff, you’ll definitely have the headspace, confidence & capacity to find about and engage in a formal complaints process https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jan/28/child-migrants-racially-abused-home-office-hotel-brighton-criminals

@breadandcircuses @jasonhickel my blood pressure is already dangerously high, having read this morning about the scandal of #Bravermans #HomeOffice facilitating the abduction in broad daylight of unaccompanied #childRefugees from outside a #Brighton hotel run as holding accommodation. So I will pass on your invitation to read @jasonhickel #imperialism expose. Just too triggering, & sadly nothing in it would be a surprise to me😡 #trafficking

With further reports of children going missing from hotels run by the Home Office, a damning look at the complacency over the trafficking of Albanian and other foreign national children, and traffickers’ use of the Rwanda deportation policy as a recruiting tool. “Traffickers tell them they’ll be sent to Rwanda if they stay in the hotel.”

The president of the Society of Radiographers has called for NHS staff to boycott Braverman’s plans to x-ray child refugees to assess their ages. The tests carry risks and should be used only when there is a medical need https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boycott-braverman-child-refugee-xrays-b2257279.html
