Yes, Tory MPs have been supporting the Bill, however the lion’s share of the desire and drive arises from both @BorisJohnson being the PM, and the Home Secretary @pritipatel pushing it in order to appease their voter base. 2/
Patel is especially invested as she was charged to deliver the signicant electoral pledge of restricting immigration. However, the question of why Priti Patel as a PoC is hell-bent on pushing the #NationalityAndBordersBill has been asked a lot recently  3/

Lets first consider the sentiment underpinning this, it is probably best expressed by Conservative MP Bill Wiggin while speaking at the Commons Liaison Committee on Wednesday 30th March, addressing the Prime minister as he outlines in his view the “right” sort of #refugees

In reply to Bill Wiggin’s question, the Prime Minister sighted the #NationalityAndBordersBill as being the solution.
Let’s take a brief look at this dreaded #NABB: When the Bill was devised, it was rushed through into official consideration containing placeholder clauses

Good news: Govt has agreed to reinstate my extensive amendments to clause 9 of #NABB (citizenship deprivation): publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill…. Those changes take the sting out of it, as I tried to explain here theyworkforyou.com/lords/?id=2022…. /1
Some would have preferred to remove clause 9 altogether - but given the national security reasons advanced for it (and the flat rejection of numerous other @UKHouseofLords amendments), that was never going to be accepted by the Govt or the elected House. /2
Others would have liked to curtail the substantive citizenship deprivation power, perhaps by taking it back to its 2003 limits: I had some sympathy for this, but it was never voted on and is a much broader issue than the clause 9 issue of withholding notice. /3

Considering this government won the last election based on their Brexit promise to “take back control” of our borders -
“One of this government’s central ideas is to be tough on immigration and asylum and next week it’ll bring back to

#NationalityAndBordersBill , but for now, it’s having to show that Britain is open to the people who need our help”
On one hand the government has been determined to hang on to a visa system which explains why they have been extremely sluggish in setting up their processes

Some of the @LetsStopC9 team attended the very important #protest to bring the attention of the House of Lords to the racist #NABB. Many powerful speeches were shared and we have been inspired!
#NationalityAndBordersBill
#NationalityAndBordersBill
Our next steps as @LetsStopC9 will be to increase collaboration with other groups who share our goal - to stop the #NationalityAndBordersBill we are thankful to Sam from @WritersofColour for connecting us
We will continue to raise awareness around the #NationalityAndBordersBill and encourage people to challenge it, and will uplift the voices of other organisations working to fight it
