The ECHR protects • the right to a fair trial • freedom of assembly & expression • the right to participate in free elections • freedom of religion • freedom from discrimination • the right to privacy • freedom from torture & degrading treatment I think viewers should be told that. If you do too RT this widely

Conservative MPs are again out making insane calls for the UK to join Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the Human Rights convention & attacking the Civil Service for upholding the rule of law If UK News Shows won’t call this boll**** out I WILL

💔It’s a dark day for the UK To all the men, women and children who came here in search of safety and are now terrified of what the future holds, we are so, so sorry. Please know that we are on your side. Today and every day #AyeWelcomeRefugees

Baroness Bennett, "I rise with a heavy heart.. To this this dreadful international law busting bill" "Amnesty international warned airline companies that many members of the public take an extremely negative view of the Rwanda policy" "Those were unnecessary words because no company of any repute whatsoever is going to take part in the Rwanda scheme" "We've had the abomination of the elections act, the elements of a policing act, we've had multiple indefensible restrictions on the right to protest. Now, we are letting through an attack on some of the most vulnerable, desperate people on this planet" "What more will we let through?" "I suggest to noble lords as they leave this chamber tonight to ask themselves that question. With a desperate flailing government bereft of ideas, and philosophy without principles. This house will keep being tested" "So I ask these empty benches. You might be waiting for an election, but what kind of country will it be if you don't stand up now?"

If a Rwanda flight does take off… Your bills will still be as expensive Your wait for a GP/hospital bed will still be as long Your court date will still be as delayed Your taxes will still be as high …but we will all be more more morally & financially bankrupt as a nation

Nail biting CNA rearranged league match for our U17 B v C. The B team held on to take the honours. This also secures them the U17 Div 2 win 🥇! B PoM, Melissa C PoM, Sorcha @Woodmill_PE @DunfermlinePE @teambeathhwb @QAHS_PE @Balwearie_PE @FifeActiveSch @ActiveFife

Sunak suffers defeat on Rwanda bill as peers vote by thumping 102 majority to insist it must be compliant with international law That this is even necessary is a graphic illustration of just how out of control his government is theguardian.com/politics/live/…

Brilliant. And quite brave considering that if the election goes the wrong way his commander in chief won’t be able to utter a word of it

4,500 have just been reclassified as "complex". 17k have been "withdrawn" (for no obvious reason). An unknown number of others have been rejected without adequate evidence. Just so Sunak could send this tweet.

I said that this government would clear the backlog of asylum decisions by the end of 2023. That’s exactly what we’ve done. Over 112,000 cases are now cleared with a lower grant rate than last year, a key part of our plan to stop the boats.

Just heard the Home Secretary stand up in Parliament and declare that "the British people support the Rwanda plan". I'm sick of these guys telling me what I support. I do not support the "Rwanda plan". If you don't either, please retweet.

So morally bankrupt & unworkable Rwanda Bill passes 2nd Reading 313 to 269 - helped by plenty of Tories who “reluctantly” said they could support the “principles” of the Bill. But the principles are precisely overriding the courts & disregarding the law. Shame on them

For those who STILL don’t get it, you can’t have ‘the rule of law’ without an independent judiciary and the right of access to court. And a country without the rule of law is not a democracy but a dictatorship. Got it now?

The far-right has been emboldened by the Home Secretary. She has spent her week fanning the flames of division. They are now attacking the Police on Armistice Day. The Home Secretary's position is untenable. She must resign.

So well said, @HumzaYousaf. 👏Always clear, compassionate and full of humanity. So proud he's Scotland's First Minister.

"How many more children have to die… for the world to say this is enough?" Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf tells @C4Ciaran the UK government's abstention from a UN resolution calling for a humanitarian truce in Gaza is "a shameful abdication of their moral responsibility".

So much smearing & belittling of consultants in the press, but this, from today’s @thetimes letters page, could not have put it more beautifully. Pls RT if you agree. #NHS 💙

You can’t claim asylum in the UK without coming here illegally, ergo you can’t claim asylum in the UK. You can’t claim to be a human rights victim or victim of modern slavery even if you are one. Ergo Britain withdraws from the international asylum and human rights system.

Once our new law comes into force, if you come to the UK illegally: ❌ You can’t claim asylum. ❌ You can’t misuse our modern slavery protections. ❌ You can’t make false human rights claims. ❌ You can't stay. I'm leaving no stone unturned to stop the boats.
