  1. GENEVA – The Illegal Migration Bill, which has now been passed by Parliament in the United Kingdom, is at variance with the country’s obligations under international human rights and refugee law and will have profound consequences for people in need of international protection, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk and UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi warned today.

  2. The illegal migration bill has passed, and here’s what will happen: children lost, abused and exploited
    The new law will not act as the deterrent the UK government says it will – it just puts more vulnerable people in harm’s way
    It will go down in history as a milestone like no other. As the UN has said, it “extinguishes access to asylum” in the UK for anyone arriving by a route the government deems “irregular”.

  3. The UK’s illegal #MigrationBill is a nasty piece of work. So is the cruelty inflicted on refugee children
    Even the most ardent supporters of the government are balking at how it’s trying to deter #asylum seekers
    ‘I’m a 16-year-old orphan from an African country escaping a war and religious persecution and I have a sibling living legally in the UK. What is a safe and legal route for me to come to the UK?”
    Suella Braverman, could not answer this question

  4. Yes, the Tories’ migration bill is bad – but the lack of Commons scrutiny is more disturbing still
    Despite their best efforts, rebel MPs couldn’t muster enough opposition to the government’s plan – nor even much interest in it

    An observant visitor from another world would surely find today’s Britain a troubled place, facing historic difficulties – inflation, war, inequality, its unsure place in the world, climate breakdown.

  6. CW: UK politics, Lineker, BBC

    Has any report about the Lineker incident actually analysed the accusation?

    I've seen criticism of him saying it & debates about whether anyone working at the BBC should be allowed to say it, but I've not seen anyone comparing the language used in 1930s Germany & the language used by British politicians and media.

    Surely someone has & I've just missed it?

    Please do not let the fact that I am being stupid override the fact that I am also absolutely furious.

    Again.

    She really is a despicable human being isn't she?

    Sorry. I realise I'm not adding anything here. Just felt the need to say it.

  9. The vile #MigrationBill being proposed by Braverman and championed by Sunak is transparently part of their election strategy, targeted at the "culturally conservative" Con/Lab marginals that they won with the discredited "get Brexit done" message in 2019. See also trans rights.
