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!

Do these people represent your views? Either in the commons or the lords. Surely we are better than this?
Asked by @AlfDubs about disgraceful actions of @ukhomeoffice to remove cartoons from Kent reception as they are 'too welcoming for children', Minister says: 'It is the correct decision these facilities have the requisite decoration befitting their purpose' š¢Shameful cruelty

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.
