Good news has been flowing out the House of Lords this week 🥳 Yesterday the Lords agreed that refugee children should never be kept apart from loved ones. Now MPs must realise the same - call on your MP to support safe routes for family reunion👇 safepassage.org.uk/write-to-your-…

Today’s announcement relaxing visa requirements for extended family members of #Ukrainians living in UK & a new sponsorship program is an important start. Concerned it's not enough & could mean far fewer Ukrainians can reach safety here than Govt claims refugeecouncil.org.uk/latest/news/go…

Today the #AntiRefugeeBill is being voted on in the House of Lords. If members of the Lords want to stand with #Ukraine, they must reject it. A vote for this cruel bill is a vote to slam the door in the face of Ukrainian men, women & children who desperately need our help.

⏰ And we're up! ⏰ Members of the House of Lords are now debating amendments on refugee family reunion We're clear: family reunion rules must be expanded so separated families can be together again & children safe in the care of their family 💛

That's it from us tonight - though the debate continues into the night & over the coming days It's never been more vital that the Lords stands against this cruel Bill & insists on safe routes for refugees - please email a member of the Lords today 🧡 safepassage.org.uk/email-lords

My father was born in another country. He was never naturalised. I think theoretically this means that under the new Nationality and Borders Bill, I could have my citizenship taken away from me.

The Government's #AntiRefugeeBill began its passage in the House of Lords yesterday. Peers debated the ways in which this legislation attacks people's fundamental right to claim asylum, and provides none of the 'safe and legal routes' which the Government boasts about.

Opposition to the Borders Bill is growing, particularly against clauses 9 and 11. Watch the Lords debate on the Bill:

This week MPs voted to essentially end the UK asylum system.⁣ Our government want us to think there isn’t an alternative to hostility. But that doesn’t reflect who we are as people. Kindness will win. The fight is not over. Read our statement: bit.ly/3GsY0J9

We are beyond heartbroken at the devastating loss of life in the Channel. Each life was someone’s loved one; a wife, son, grandfather, sister, friend. ⁣Someone.⁣ ⁣ No one ever should be forced to risk their life to reach sanctuary, family & the chance to rebuild.⁣ 1/4

United by grief, anger & determination. We say enough is enough.⁣ ⁣ Hundreds of people across the UK held vigils last night to honour the memory of the lives lost whilst crossing the Channel in search of sanctuary.⁣ 1/3 ⁣

So pleased to hear Exeter will be welcoming up to nine Afghan families next week. They will be staying on a temporary, bridging basis in a hotel until permanent accommodation is found across the country. @ExeterCouncil @DevonCC @RefugeeTogether devon.gov.uk/news/exeter-of…
