Tomorrow MPs will vote, one by one, to take changes made in House of Lords back out of the #NationalityAndBordersBill which has rightly been called the #AntiRefugeeBill.
Here, in plain English, are some of the key changes that MPs will consider šŸ§µ #r4today
Lords voted to remove power for the Home Secretary to strip British nationals of citizenship without informing them of the fact.

Latest in a line of govts widening citizenship stripping powers.

Tomorrow, MPs are likely to vote this power back in. #citizenshipisaright #r4today
Lords voted to remove the power for refugees to be sent ā€œoffshoreā€ before we have examined their claim for protection.

This is immediate deportation for almost all refugees, to camps where weā€™d pay to keep them indefinitely.

Tomorrow MPs are likely to vote it back in. #r4today

The government is trying to push through its disgusting 'Nationality & Borders Bill' which will give them the ability to remove citizenship without notice - leaving people unprotected & at risk of deportation. Please read the following by @LetsStopC9 to learn more šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡
The attempt to pass the Nationality & Borders Bill into legislation is a calculated move to ensure that certain people, despite having been born & raised in Britain, remain migrants. It strips them of the rights they were born with & leaves them in a constant state of instability
It attacks their levels of belonging in our communities and undermines their safety. It creates a second class of citizens, whose status is conditional on behaving in a way deemed to be 'in the public interest'.

NEW: Nationality and Borders Bill is ā€œunconstitutionalā€.

New powers sought by Government to strip British citizenship have been deemed ā€œexorbitant, ill-defined and unconstitutionalā€.

2/8

ā€˜It creates an arbitrary two-tier citizenship system that any civilised society should be ashamed of!

It demonises & criminalises Refugees and infringes their rights under the Refugee Convention.

Migration is a human right & no human is illegal.
3/8

It targets British people with Black and brown skin, British people from minority ethnic groups, and makes them vulnerable to losing their entire material lives.

But It doesnā€™t threaten white British citizens this way.

IF THIS ISNā€™T APARTHEID, THEN WHAT IS?
