1/10 An #immigration and #nhs thread. This govt the two have linked the two and this week sees this link leading toward further disaster:

The NHS is short of psychiatrists, esp child psychiatrists - the Home office during #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

2/10 Meanwhile in the wake of #brexit, with a govt insisting on an arbitary salary threshold for immigration policy an NHS already short of 100000 staff looks set for a worsening staffing crisis

3/10 The govt insistence on using the #NHS as a means of immigration control continues, with the news of sharing of patient data with credit firms - a story with implications well beyond ill advised border control

4/10 The admission from Brandon Lewis of the deportation of those not given settled status in a process which has already revealed to be flawed threatens the 5% of the whole NHS staff (approx 65000 people)

5/10 Meanwhile a #mentalhealth timebomb is ticking in the wake of the windrush scandal while mental heal provision in this country remains woefully underfunded:

6/10 Britain has a complex race relationship as @akala writes in his book Natives. Some of the population realise that migration is a good thing as @garyyounge writes but unfortunately the govt continue not to as shown by its failure to learn on windrush:

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
7/10 The effect of the NHS staffing crisis is being seen all over - even @MattHancock acknowledges this in his speeches - yet a simple discussion between him and @patel4witham doesn't seem to be going on as evidenced through this relatively short thread:

gov.uk/government/spe…
8/10 As @gooroohealth reports - the effect of such pressures are being seen throughout the NHS - especially in waiting times:

hsj.co.uk/quality-and-pe…
9/10 Strangely the Tories continue to conflate immigration and the NHS in a negative manner in a pernicious way. IF a govt wants a successfuly health service - it must EMBRACE immigration positively or staffing issues will worsen:

independent.co.uk/voices/nhs-hos…
10/10 This govt has misunderstood the link between #NHS & #immigration. Migration is integral to the survival & thriving of the NHS. Policy implementation by the home office is worsening pressures on the NHS - yet this govt shows no sign of rectifying these issues

#Thread #Misinformation
On requests from colleagues, I'm sharing details reg the #SatyamevaJayate training program which taught to more than 80K kids in #Kannur how to detect, verify & respond to misinformation online.

Link to the full ppt shared at the end of this thread.
1
The first two slides emphasise the centrality of truth and the pursuit of truth in our National and Constitutional discourse
2
#FakeNews is defined in the next slide, with reference to the role we all play, unwittingly or deliberately, in its dissemination. Our role could be active or passive.

Even our silence is an act that aids the spread of #misinformation

@WeBuildtheWall @KrisKobach1787 .@KrisKobach1787 explaining how a Safe Third Country Agreement would work and why we need one with Mexico:

@WeBuildtheWall @KrisKobach1787 .@KrisKobach1787 explaining how illegals are abusing our welfare programs in the United States and how this is incentivizing more to come.

1/25 #THREAD On the #ethics of Jody Wilson-Raybould recording a convo with Michael Wernick RE #SNCLavalin

Read further to debunk the #CDNmedia & partisan spin + public's grasp of #CDNpoli #CDNlaw that's circulating social media

(Ex. of that mythology)
2/25 #SNCLavalin #CDNpoli #CDNlaw #Ethics

It's not possible for pundits & partisan actors to have their cake & eat it too

Due to the barrage of biased misinformation about Jody Wilson-Raybould's role as attorney general vs justice minister, it's necessary to explain the basics
3/25 If Jody Wilson-Raybould assumed the role of solicitor to the govt in this #SNCLavalin matter, it wouldn't be unethical to record her calls w clients & witnesses #CDNpoli

This is standard practice in #CDNlaw, so lawyers don't forget details & properly document billable hours

If you sense looming anxiety in the #immigration world, it might not just be the chaos of the southern border. We are also waiting for many, many, MANY shoes to drop...

The final public charge regulation.

The proposed reg was published on October 10, 2018, & comments closed in December: federalregister.gov/documents/2018…

As recent DOS numbers preview, this reg could usher in BIG, BIG changes.
A ruling on the #RemaininMexico (#MPP) preliminary injunction.

A hearing in Innovation Law Lab v. Nielsen happened Friday. The ruling could come out any day now. sfchronicle.com/nation/article…

Manoeuvering in the parliament this morning is all about timing…..

Here’s an explanation of what’s going on. Stay with me:
#THREAD
#Encryption bill: Govt & Opp agreed to a plan to pass bill unamended through Reps, amend in Senate once Labor double-checked them, then back to Reps to sign off on changes.
Nauru: Senate expected to agree to amendments to a migration-related bill that would mirror the Phelps #kidsoffnauru bill details, which would then need to go to Reps for a vote, too.
