Mr Passarlay told the PA news agency: ā€œIt’s shocking and I’m not surprised, this is going to happen if we continue with the policies of hostility and deterrence and the lack of safe routes and humanitarian corridors. Hope this doesn’t happen again. šŸ˜ž

Oh lovely - so now we’re voting on Govt plan to remove any restrictions on removal destinations for LGBT+ people. Why would they care, after all? These levels of callous cruelty are truly mind boggling #RefugeeBanBill

The Tory Immigration Bill will return to The Lords next week - they may want to turn this country into a dark, desperate, inward looking haven for the rich and privileged - but we will do everything we can to stop them, we will continue the fight - Britain is better than this.

Something has shifted in the public mood regarding refugees. I've been tweeting about refugees for many years but never before received such an upswell of sympathy, and near universal condemnation of the government's callous approach. Thank U to everyone for your positive tweets!

"The Illegal Migration Bill will traumatise children. Britain is better than this" says @BishopPaulB, the Bishop of Durham. From faith leaders to the medical community, we all stand together to #StopChildDetention. Now this Government must listen. https://t.co/QqRvl5BODU

The legislation is asking us to allow the unconscionable - and at what cost?

Govt has backed down to ā€œonlyā€ automatically lock up child refugees without bail for 8 days under Braverman’s migration bill… Before they’re sent to dangerous institutional accommodation to rot until they can be violently forced onto a plane to Rwanda. What kindness. #r4today

Suella Braverman's dream of sending asylum seekers to Rwanda is dead. Now let's fight for the dreams of refugees by helping them rebuild their lives in dignity, safety and peace.
