Boris Johnson's anti-refugee bill has just passed. But if the government thinks it’s won. It can damn well think again.

🚨BREAKING: We're taking legal action against the government over its plan to ship refugees to Rwanda. We urgently need to raise funds to cover the costs - you can chip in now: crowdjustice.com/case/rwanda/?u…
@FreedomLGEdin retweeted
You might’ve missed it. These new anti-refugee laws criminalise refugees for coming to the UK looking for safety. But the fight back starts now. These laws aren’t forever - our movement is. #TogetherWithRefugees🧡
@FreedomLGEdin retweeted
Freedom From Torture's Steve Crawshaw brands government plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing as 'cruel' sugging they 'make no sense at all.' Do you agree with him? @NickFerrariLBC
@FreedomLGEdin retweeted
This week this government voted to pass the cruellest part of the#AntiRefugeeBill, but people across the country are united against it. Today, we must stand #TogetherWithRefugees.
@FreedomLGEdin retweeted
Today is Human Rights Day. & yet we face an imminent threat of the govt undermining the vital protections and safeguards of the Human Rights Act. Now more than ever, we need to stand up for the rights of survivors of torture, people seeking asylum, & the rights of all people.
@FreedomLGEdin retweeted
The Government is trying to promote the Anti-refugee Bill as a solution to tragic deaths of people at the Channel. We condemn this attempt of using these tragic deaths to promote such a cruel Bill. We know this Bill is NOT the solution. Let's share this message far and wide!
@FreedomLGEdin retweeted
We are here @ukhomeoffice to say: enough is enough. No more deaths. #RefugeesWelcome #TogetherWithRefugees

Whatever happens today, England's performance in this tournament has been a success. It has been a success story for diversity, for immigration, and for standing up against injustice. This team represents the best of us: united, diverse, principled, and compassionate.
