Your regular reminder that the #RefugeeBanBill is not the "will of the people". The @Conservatives manifesto promise was to protect asylum seekers, not violate international law, lock children away, and deport people to countries where they face persecution or death. #r4today https://t.co/4EJwef9vz3

While this is worth celebrating, under the #refugeebanbill trafficking victims will no longer be able to access modern slavery protections, and risk being removed to countries, such as Albania, where they face increased risks of exploitation.
We have seen significant improvements in recognition of trafficking victims by frontline services over the years. We are in danger of backsliding on that progress.

RT @ZoeJardiniere: This is incredibly welcome!
Most imp thing Labour can do on #RefugeeBanBill is to repeal it in full on day one.

First time I've seen that so clearly promised by @SKinnock.
Lab must also repeal Patel's Nationality & Borders Act for a functional, fair asylum system to be possible. https://t.co/2oNbDTfCSr

There is so much wrong with the #refugeebanbill that it is hard to see how it could get through the House of Lords even before this government decided to bend to hardliners and make it even clearer that the UK will violate international law and human rights. The issue is what happens when the Lords's ping pong runs out and it passes anyway.

Rt @ZoeJardiniere
I wrote a piece on how to respond to the #RefugeeBanBill and whether safe routes/humanitarian visas are the answer.

Proud of this one, although I don’t know how many friends it will make me..

It’s the principle of territorial asylum we have to defend now

Are humanitarian visas the solution to the UK’s ‘small boats’ crisis?

Could humanitarian visas stop the ‘small boats’?

Compromising on humanitarian visas could allow the Illegal Migration Bill to end territory-based asylum in the UK

RT @ZoeJardiniere: The two options for Afghan refugees who helped our troops under this government’s #RefugeeBanBill:

1. Stay put hiding from the Taliban who want to kill you and apply for safe passage which we will DENY.

2. Make your own way here and be locked up & deported to Rwanda.
