Today is a sad day as our Government commits to the disastrous Rwanda policy. We have signed this letter along with 250 organisations to say not in our name. We are grieving but hope isn't lost. We will continue to stand together in love with all who are seeking sanctuary🧡

This morning the Rwanda Bill was passed in Parliament. JPIT churches, along with 250+ organisations from across civil society, have signed an open letter to the Prime Minister following the passage of the Government’s Rwanda Act. Read the full letter: brnw.ch/21wJ58h

The news will be all about Galloway today - that’s why the government published these 13 immigration inspection reports in one go yesterday, to bury them. But the scale & degree of chaos, mismanagement, dereliction of duty & incompetence they reveal is astounding, truly #r4today

The @churchmoderator is urging people to "call out" all those who use hostile and dehumanising language towards asylum seekers and refugees. She said it "diminished humanity". #racialjusticesunday #asylumseekers youtu.be/5qRIfdeHwxw?si…
Scottish MPs have been urged to resist passing the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill and to vote against any amendments that would create further restrictions on the lives of people seeking asylum. churchofscotland.org.uk/news-and-event… #RwandaBill
The @scotgov has been urged to help end a "decade of torment and tragedy" and reunite a refugee with her shattered family. #Glasgow @PaulJSweeney @scotrefcouncil churchofscotland.org.uk/news-and-event…
"I don't have anywhere to go" This is absolutely devastating. For refugees, being granted leave to the remain in the UK should be a day of celebration. But now it means facing homelessness. theguardian.com/world/video/20…
The Church of Scotland has welcomed the UK Supreme Court decision that government plans to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda are unlawful. churchofscotland.org.uk/news-and-event…
We welcome the decision of the @UKSupremeCourt that the #Rwanda policy is unlawful. Along with our friends & partners, we will continue to do all we can to build a safe, hospitable & welcoming country for people seeking asylum in Scotland & the UK. #TogetherWithRefugees #WhoWeAre

So relieved the Supreme Court has ruled Rwanda is not a safe country for UK gov to send people seeking asylum. We're processing the ruling and trying to anticipate what they'll try next...
We are delighted that £2m will be going to providing free bus travel for people seeking asylum! This simple policy will transform peoples lives for the better and strengthen our communties 🚌 Thank you so much to everyone who worked hard to make this change happen!

This afternoon I moved a motion to extend free bus travel to people seeking asylum in Scotland. I was grateful to be joined in the gallery by @VOICESNetworkUK & @Maryhill_IN who have championed this. The framework for free bus travel is in place and can be easily extended.
🚨TODAY, @PaulJSweeney motion on the #FreeBusTravel campaign is being debated in the @ScotParl! We are delighted to join this historical moment 🚍 Don't miss out! At 12.45pm 📽️scottishparliament.tv
At 12:45, I will be moving a motion to extend free bus travel to all people seeking asylum in Scotland. It is great to have cross-party support from my parliamentary colleagues and civic society for this compassionate act. For such small change, it would make a huge difference.

We are devastated to see that the Rwanda bill was passed last night. Everyone deserves safety, compassion & dignity. It is unthinkably cruel to send people seeking asylum a further 4000 miles away, where they will have no connections & can face even more bigotry and violence.
A dark day. But there is always hope. The Rwanda bill has been passed. Today we grieve, but tomorrow - along with the 500+ orgs of the Together With Refugees coalition - will continue to fight for something better.
A terrible day for the upholding of human rights, the respect of international law, and the progression of British politics. Refugees and all who come to our shores are made in the image and likeness of God and should be treated with dignity, not cruelty and inhumanity.
A dark day. But there is always hope. The Rwanda bill has been passed. Today we grieve, but tomorrow - along with the 500+ orgs of the Together With Refugees coalition - will continue to fight for something better.
This morning the Rwanda Bill was passed in Parliament. JPIT churches, along with 250+ organisations from across civil society, have signed an open letter to the Prime Minister following the passage of the Government’s Rwanda Act. Read the full letter: brnw.ch/21wJ58h
💔It’s a dark day for the UK To all the men, women and children who came here in search of safety and are now terrified of what the future holds, we are so, so sorry. Please know that we are on your side. Today and every day #AyeWelcomeRefugees
Today our thoughts are with the people who came here to seek safety who now live with a new terror. That is what the Rwanda bill boils down to. Performative, useless terror serving as a cynical distraction from the real problems we face. We will fight it with everything we have.
This is a huge setback for anyone who believes in the rule of law. Its implications for our constitution can’t be overstated. But I promise you, this isn’t over yet. We are not going to abandon refugees without a fight. Refugees welcome here always ✊🧡 theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…

We help to support many Sudanese people as they resettle in Edinburgh - seeking sanctuary from the war in Sudan while it goes unreported in the news. A year on, this is a poignant article from @refugeecouncil to remind us of the need for a fairer approach 🧡#keepeyesonsudan
