UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk and UNHCR High Commissioner @FilippoGrandi call on the #UK government to reconsider its plan to transfer asylum-seekers to #Rwanda. New legislation seriously hinders the rule of law in the UK and sets a perilous precedent globally.

One more time. There is nothing constitutionally wrong with the Lords refusing to accept decisions of the Commons that reject their amendments. Otherwise there would be no point to the Parliament Acts.

It'll be a long night. My best guess: the Lords will dig in. If you don't dig in for a policy violating human rights, not in a manifesto, proposed by a government that is not legitimized through an election and not supported by a majority of the population - when do you?

This degree of media attention on parliamentary ping-pong for a Bill is unusual. So important to stress that it is a standard, normal part of the legislative scrutiny process. What is unusual (historically, tho not in recent years) is the Govt's intransigent attitude to amdts.

I’m quoted here on #RwandaBill and double insistence. This “post-truth”Bill asks Parliament to declare that Rwanda is safe (which it isn’t, yet) and will always be safe (which is obviously unknowable). I expect to be involved (in Lord Hope’s absence) in the final stages tomorrow.

Here at @The_TUC launch of the #AIEmploymentBill tonight, even as someone working in this field, I’m struck again by the paucity in our national conversation on how AI/tech already impacts workplaces, esp vulnerable, often invisible, workers facing invisible levels of control.

#RwandaBill ping pong latest: victory for Lord Hope’s monitoring amendment by 245-208: majority of 37 as against yesterday’s 39. Normally margins reduce as the Bill proceeds: this is a big one.
