There are genuinely so many ways in which the #AntiRefugeeBill is going to ruin people's lives. It wont even be possible for me to cover half of it.

The list of new clauses & amendments they will debate in parliament today, only on ONE section out of 7 barely fits on my screen. Image
British democracy: Where our parliamentary representatives get about five minutes per life-ruining, justice-denying, cruel, ineffective, barbaric measure in the #AntiRefugeeBill.
For those interested in why 51 is highlighted up there, it's one of the government's new ones. Snuck in last week so most wont even hear about it, yet it's one of the worst of them.

It imposes a four year prison sentence on anybody who is unable to renew their immigration status

Second reading of the Nationality & Borders Bill happening now.

Priti Patel claiming that you and I have "had enough of open borders" so... I'm obviously going to really enjoy this. ๐Ÿ˜‘๐Ÿ˜‘๐Ÿ˜‘๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’ bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live/bโ€ฆ
LMAO Theresa May intervenes to say 'ang on a moment mate, I designed a whole hostile environment aimed at kicking out and cruelly excluding as many migrants as possible, can Patel not make out like no one's been trying to be awful to immigrants in the last decade?!
Doesn't this just tell you everything though. I might as well switch it off right now (oh how I wish I would take my own advice and do that)
Patel's approach is more of the same failed and evil rubbish that has come from the Tories for years.

The racists will never be satisfied.

Well, friends, it has been quite a week hasn't it.
I think it warrants a bit of a round-up thread ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ˜Š

To begin, on Tuesday we had the Queen's Speech. A new Brutal Borders Bill was announced. Thread here explains why we must resist it & why we can
Also Tuesday @BellRibeiroAddy tabled an EDM in support of @JCWI_UK's campaign #WeAreHere
It calls for a new route to regularisation for our undocumented migrant population & better routes to secure permanent status for all migrants making the UK their home edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motiโ€ฆ
I wrote an article for @GreenWorld_UK about how Priti Patel's Nasty New Plan for Immigration shows she has learned all the wrong lessons from the Covid pandemic, continuing to push migrant workers into precarity, exposing them to greater risk greenworld.org.uk/article/governโ€ฆ

In response to antisemitic white nationalist attack, Vice President Mike Pence opens campaign event with a Christian Rabbi.
He begins by promoting that people in power are ordained by Jesus to wield power.
Then, rather than praying for the victims and survivors of the Pittsburgh synagogue attack, Mike Pence's Christian Rabbi prays --by name-- for each Republican candidate on a list given to him.
