This is Mo. Mo was trafficked to the UK when he was 9 to work in modern slavery. In future, unaccompanied children like Mo, who arrive on boats, will simply be offered accommodation until they are 18, then sent back to their country of origin, or somewhere like Rwanda. #r4today

This is Dominic. Dominic's Jewish father escaped the Czech Republic as a 6-year-old when the Nazis annexed it in 1938. If Dominic's father had ended up on a boat, with the new laws, he would have been sent back to Prague in 1950, once he reached the age of 18 (or sent to Rwanda).

This is Rishi. His parents were economic migrants, coming to the UK to make a better life. In future, without a legal route, people like Rishi's parents who end up on boats would be sent back or deported to Rwanda, in spite of what they could offer with their skills & hard work.

This is Priti. Her patents arrived in the UK fleeing the despotic regime of Idi Amin in Uganda. With no legal routes, people like Priti's parents, who arrive in boats from places like Syria, desperately fleeing warzones, will, in future, simply be sent back or deported to Rwanda.

This is Suella. Suella's parents were economic migrants to UK who benefitted from long-defunct legal immigration routes. Suella wrote the bill to restrict rights of refugees & immigrants coming on boats, adding to the front page it probably contravened Human Rights Law. #r4today
