More shameful, performative cruelty from the Home Office. I'd rather deport the jobsworth who sent the letter than this woman.

‘How can I start again at 68?’ Maria has spent 50 years in the UK – and is fighting deportation

She left the Netherlands for Britain in the 1970s at just 17. Now, after receiving a short suspended sentence, she faces removal to a country she hasn’t lived in for five decades or visited since 1999

The Guardian

@riggbeck

“The secretary of state has deemed your deportation to be conducive to the public good,”

Where are the journalists doorstepping the Home Secretary and demanding she answer how exactly she came to that decision? Or whether the letter is dishonestly representing her?

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who's the Reformiest of us all?

This is #NewerLabour, sleazy Farageist wannabes.

@riggbeck
Let's hope tomorrow morning brings a sharp lesson for them.
