Vanessa Feltz has joined LBC as part of a 'refreshed weekend line up' and @SangitaMyska has gone...
“Nothing can prepare you for meeting three year old Ahmed.. he handles his wheelchair like it’s a dodgem.” Powerful ITV report on a little boy who lost his parents, and his legs, in an Israeli airstrike. He’s been flown to Italy for hospital treatment:
Not the best headline, but the Sun is reporting that the first migrant has been flown to Rwanda and is “unpacking his bags for a new life in sunny Kigali.” This was under the voluntary scheme, not the forced deportation policy: thesun.co.uk/news/politics/…
We speak to a Syrian man, at an immigration enforcement reporting centre in Loughborough, who tells @darshnasoni he was detained today and has been told he will be deported to Rwanda.
Not quite sure what it is? Thought it was a naan bread at first!
A useful thread on government Safety of Rwanda guidance, which has just been published 👇🏾

Reports that the Home Office is to detain asylum seekers across UK, weeks earlier than expected - timed to coincide with local elections? Home Office says government is entering “the final phase of operationalising this landmark policy.” theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…
This is an inaccurate headline that will only fuel community concerns. The decision to cover the memorial was taken by park authorities, not the police. As the paper’s own article makes clear, it is a precaution Royal Parks have taken for a number of different events.
“In a world of paid-subscriptions, a library card is a free ticket to anywhere." Nothing more indulgent than a day at the library, getting lost in a book you never planned to read! Shame Nottingham council might close 12 / 15 libraries as part of wider cuts #saveourlibraries
Still no word from @LBC on #WhereisSangita?

“My expectation is it will be a bad night for the Tories - also, it's not going to be an absolute standout night for Labour.“ Lord Robert Hayward predicts Tories will lose upwards of 400 seats in local elections, ahead of a #c4news debate tonight at 7pm.
“Outsourcing our asylum system to other countries is never acceptable. It abandons our duty to share in the global responsibility towards those force to seek safety” 250 organisations have written open letter to Rishi Sunak about #Rwanda Act. PM says flights will take off by July

⚠ The @ukhomeoffice's announcement has left many in our communities feeling fearful. We've collated some key information on who is at risk of detention, who isn't at risk, and what we can do support each other. praxis.org.uk/news/important…
We also know a little bit about the cohort the Home Office is going after: for example, their nationalities. This from the Times piece. Afghans, Albanians, Iranians, Eritreans, Syrians, Iraqis and Sudanese -- nationals of refugee producing countries -- are particularly at risk.
Channel 4 have spoken to a Syrian man on the phone who was detained after reporting. He said they've told him he will be removed to Rwanda. x.com/channel4news/s…
We speak to a Syrian man, at an immigration enforcement reporting centre in Loughborough, who tells @darshnasoni he was detained today and has been told he will be deported to Rwanda.
Members of the parkrun #bringbackthestats group met parkrun CEO Russ Jefferys & founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt last Saturday. It is worth reading all of the BBTS group’s record of this meeting. A few key points: change.org/p/reinstate-st…
Terribly sad news this. Superb journalist with an enviably brilliant turn of phrase, and - I’ll never forget on one particular programme - as fearless in helping expose the truth as protective of colleagues in the political backlash which inevitably ensued. Great man.
Former BBC News NI political editor Stephen Grimason, who broke the news of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, has died aged 67 after a long illness bbc.in/4deYSCu
@darshnasoni A warm welcoming environment. A study space for children who may not have it at home. A place where you can find out what’s going on in the local community. The library was my saviour in my childhood.
This is an inaccurate headline that will only fuel community concerns. The decision to cover the memorial was taken by park authorities, not the police. As the paper’s own article makes clear, it is a precaution Royal Parks have taken for a number of different events.
@darshnasoni They're also the only place many poor people can access the internet.
@darshnasoni @DunelmPapillon Poorer children rely on libraries for the space to do their homework, a safe place they can be with their friends and access to books they can't afford to buy. The elderly rely on libraries for warmth, company and the opportunity to escape. It's madness.
