Joined June 2009
The full explanation of why #Windrush became and remains a scandal is here - it's a long and upsetting story which didn't fit into newspaper articles so I wrote a book to try to explain. Now in paperback https://t.co/r6tKgoqNgI And audiobook

Great to see such a well-read copy - thank you!
Worth saying on #WindrushDay that this by @ameliagentleman is required reading - a forensic account of state cruelty, neglect and racism. Are lessons being learned? Listening to so much political discourse since I read it last year, I doubt it. @WindrushLives

I can't think of a better future lawyer than Euen Herbert - who already knows much more about immigration law than most experts because of the Windrush-related difficulties he has faced for years. I hope he gets university funding so he can continue with his studies @LaserMike
An aspiring lawyer has been blocked from receiving university funding after he was asked to provide ‘excessive’ proof of living in the UK such as utility bills for the last 20 yrs despite being ‘made homeless by the Windrush scandal & hostile environment’ https://t.co/v6RU4NlUc0
