New report from @refugeecouncil out. The Government's own projections show the limited capacity of Rwanda and the majority of people crossing the channel in the past year are fleeing war and persecution from countries such as Afghanistan and Iran. They cannot be returned there.
New report from @refugeecouncil out. The Government's own projections show the limited capacity of Rwanda and the majority of people crossing the channel in the past year are fleeing war and persecution from countries such as Afghanistan and Iran. They cannot be returned there.
We retain deep misgivings about the Safety of Rwanda Bill, for the precedent it sets at home and for other countries in how we respond to the most vulnerable. Joint statement with @CottrellStephen and church leaders across England: cofe.io/AfterRwanda.
Such a devastating loss of life just a few hours after the passing of the #RwandaBill. This underlines even more strongly the need for safe routes for refugees. @refugeecouncil research has shown that the Rwanda plan will not deter people. The Government must change course.

New gov stats show that so far in 2024 1,216 Afghans have crossed the Channel, consistently one of the highest nationalities to make this dangerous journey. They have no choice, safe routes are not working. ACRS 2 has only resettled 126 Afghan refugees since opened in Jan 2021
Chair of @APPGAfghanWomen @wendychambLD rightly drawing attention to failings in Afghan resettlement routes. With more deportations from Pakistan soon underway, @FCDOGovUK and @ukhomeoffice must ensure we honour our commitments to reunite families and resettle vulnerable Afghans
“The war in Sudan has been going on for a year now. People lost everything! It’s not reported at all here, even on the news.” Phayza, a community advocate from Sudan, describes how refugees are struggling in the UK and why we need a fairer approach: refugeecouncil.org.uk/latest/news/re…
Whilst MPs debate the Rwanda Bill, further scrutiny at @CommonsPAC by APPG member @timloughton reveals the truth - Government have left 40,000+ people with genuine claims for asylum in limbo, not able to be removed and unfairly blocked from contributing to British society.
Receiving a decision on an asylum claim should be a moment of celebration. Yet the dysfunctional and discriminatory move-on process is driving homelessness. Newly recognised refugees need to be given a minimum of 56 days to move on and financial support to cover tenancy deposits.

Our Co-Chair @AlfDubs today asked the Lords Minister to address the asylum backlog. Since March 2023, over 55,000 asylum applications have been made but these people remain in limbo. These are people with hopes, dreams and the desire to contribute to UK society.
Letter from @refugeecouncil Chief Executive highlights @NAOorguk findings on cost of Rwanda Bill. Lords have an opportunity today to continue to stand for a fairer asylum system as the Bill reaches final stages.

Disappointing to see the immediate closure of the Ukraine Family Scheme in today's Written Statement. Whilst Government say this will 'improve' the schemes - in reality Ukrainians are now prevented from reuniting with family, so vital for their integration in the UK.
💖This Valentine's Day, join the #FairBeginsHere campaign to support a fair new plan for refugees. Your messages of support, whether on a card or a tweet can make a big difference. Help us create a welcoming community for all & show everyone that fairness begins with us.
We have published a report scrutinising the human rights implications of the Rwanda Bill. The report finds the Bill is fundamentally incompatible with the UK’s human rights obligations. Find out more on our website: committees.parliament.uk/committee/93/h…

209K Followers 8K Following 🌹 Labour MP: #Tooting 👩⚕️A&E Doctor 🏡 Born and raised in Tooting 📧 [email protected] "Rosena" rhymes with "tenner" (she/her)🚨 Our new report, out today, shows that we're heading towards a catastrophic system meltdown because of the Illegal Migration Act and the Rwanda Plan. Over 100,000 people seeking asylum will be stranded in “permanent limbo” by the end of 2024. 🧵
My @guardian opinion piece: ‘The Rwanda bill has passed, but the Rwanda plan will go down in the history of British policymaking as an Alice in Wonderland adventure that was both absurd and inhumane’ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
We retain deep misgivings about the Safety of Rwanda Bill, for the precedent it sets at home and for other countries in how we respond to the most vulnerable. Joint statement with @CottrellStephen and church leaders across England: cofe.io/AfterRwanda.
More lives lost trying to reach the UK - hours after the Rwanda bill passed. Deterrents don't work. Its painfully clear that the only way to reduce dangerous journeys is for the government to reduce the need for desperate people to take desperate actions theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…
BREAKING: Parliament have just voted to pass the shameful Rwanda legislation which puts performative cruelty above people’s lives. We must oppose the Act and we’ll continue to fight for people seeking sanctuary Read our statement 👇🏽
Following the passing of the “Safety of Rwanda” Act by the UK, UN leaders have sounded the alarm on the harmful impact it will have on global responsibility sharing, human rights and refugee protection. Full statement: unhcr.org/news/press-rel…
New gov stats show that so far in 2024 1,216 Afghans have crossed the Channel, consistently one of the highest nationalities to make this dangerous journey. They have no choice, safe routes are not working. ACRS 2 has only resettled 126 Afghan refugees since opened in Jan 2021
Afghans have consistently been among the top nationalities crossing the Channel in small boats. They don’t do it for the excitement when they could instead have come here by plane. It is very, very clear that existing safe routes to protect them are not working. #r4today
Children seeking asylum have already been through so much. When they get to the UK, they should be kept safe and treated fairly. But when they are incorrectly assessed as adults by the Home Office, they are put at risk and lose out on the support they need 👇
As @itvnews have reported, over 1,300 asylum seeker children have wrongly been assessed as adults and put into hotels with no access to education or support. Working with @refugeecouncil I’ll be raising this issue in Parliament today. itv.com/news/2024-01-2…
I have been working with a family in Luton to get their relative out of Afghanistan. I asked the Tory MP what was the safe and legal route to get her home. The answer was pretty shocking, even by Conservative standards… 👀
The brutally cruel Rwanda plan does not represent who we are as a country.
BREAKING: The House of Commons votes by 320 to 246 to overturn an amendment which would have stopped victims of modern slavery from being deported to Rwanda
“The war in Sudan has been going on for a year now. People lost everything! It’s not reported at all here, even on the news.” Phayza, a community advocate from Sudan, describes how refugees are struggling in the UK and why we need a fairer approach: refugeecouncil.org.uk/latest/news/re…
Today the Rwanda Bill returns to the House of Commons. This performatively cruel plan doesnt benefit anyone. If youve had enough of the division, short-term thinking. & wasted human potential, join our call for something better. Because #FairBeginsHere togetherwithrefugees.org.uk/get-involved/
"I spent the whole night walking around. It was a nightmare. I thought I wouldn’t survive the night." Omer writes for @BigIssue about becoming homeless, how the Refugee Council helped, and why he's speaking out for others in this situation. bigissue.com/opinion/homele…
Read our new report @refugeecouncil out today showing that the crisis of refugee homelessness is due to a system that is dysfunctional by design and discriminatory in delivery. We want to see an end to this crisis which is within the means of the Government and @MayorofLondon
🧵 Our new report, out today, lays bare the systemic failures in the "move-on" process that refugees face when looking for housing after being granted asylum. The process is dysfunctional by design and discriminatory in delivery. /1
🚨 There has been a 239% increase in refugee homelessness in 2 years. Newly recognised refugees are becoming homeless and destitute because of systemic failures and a dysfunctional process. Our new report on what the next Mayor of London should do: refugeecouncil.org.uk/latest/news/ne…
