Dear @AlistairMcInto7, I have had enough of your campaign of harassment. If it continues, I will be raising it with the Party and considering other steps to stop it. This kind of conduct is completely unbecoming of a local Labour branch secretary. 1/6 Image
For years now, you have felt it acceptable to troll me in this persistent, excessive and thoughtless manner. As you are a member of my local Party and as someone who does not shy away from criticism, I have let you. But this cannot continue. 2/6
If you’re wondering why I haven’t immediately blocked you, which I fully intend to do, it’s because I want you to see and understand the full extent and scale of what you have done and continue to do. 3/6

The #RefugeeBanBill is a deplorable, illegal & unworkable attempt to rip up the human rights of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

It comes from a Tory Government desperate to divide & distract us during an economic crisis exacerbated by their policies.

🧵

1/21
Instead of offering safe routes to sanctuary in the UK, the Government is attempting to ban asylum and human rights claims from people who have escaped some of the worst horrors in the world and forcibly remove them instead, with sweeping new detention powers pending this.

2/21
It flies in the face of the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, drafted in the wake of the Holocaust: “refugees shall not be penalised solely by reason of unlawful entry or because, being in need of refuge and protection, they remain illegally in a country”.

Today, the Supreme Court rules on whether it is lawful for the Government to charge children £1,012 to register their entitlement to citizenship.

Whatever the outcome, it’s immoral that children are being priced out of their rights.

It’s daylight robbery and has to end.
The UK child registration fee is one of the highest in Europe:

🇬🇧~€1200 (£1012)
🇬🇷 €100-€700
🇮🇪 €175-€375
🇵🇹 €175-€250
🇦🇹 €200
🇳🇱 €22-€173
🇪🇸 €102
🇫🇮 €80-100
🇩🇪 €76
🇨🇦 €75
🇫🇷 €55
🇸🇪 €15
🇩🇰 €0
🇱🇺 €0
🇧🇪 €0
When it was introduced in 1983, this fee was £35 - about £120 in today’s money.

The reason it’s so expensive is because the Home Office is skimming £640 off each application, raking in a staggering £102.7m profit between 2017-2020 alone.

Today, Parliament is debating Black Maternal Healthcare for the first time in its history.

The UK maternal mortality rate for white women is 8 per 100,000 live births.

For Black women, this rises to 34 per 100,000 live births #BlackMaternalHealthDebate

THREAD 🧵
In November, a @HumanRightsCtte report pointed out that the NHS "acknowledge and regret this disparity but have no target to end it".

That's scandalous.

The Government has long been aware of these disparities and failed to address them.

1/8
The pandemic has exposed and exacerbated existing inequalities in maternity care.

Over half of pregnant women admitted with #Covid19 in the first two months were Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic group.

Black women have been 8x more likely to be admitted.

Today marks one year since Belly Mujinga was spat at whilst working as a ticket collector.

She died from COVID-19 just days later.

The unanswered questions around her death require an inquest & a full public inquiry #JusticeforBellyMujinga

THREAD 1/14🧵
Unanswered questions:

1. Why was Belly sent out to work on the station concourse at all, given her underlying respiratory condition (sarcoidosis)?

2. Why was she working without PPE at the time?

3. Why did it take a doctor's phone call for her employer to let her shield?

2/14
4. Belly and her colleague reported the assault to management on the day it took place.

Why were Belly and her colleague sent back out onto the station concourse in the aftermath of the assault in spite of their objections?

I'll be voting against The Covert Human Intelligence Sources Bill today.

This is the latest chapter in the attempt to wrest key scrutiny powers away from the judiciary, place British authorities beyond the law, and squash dissent.

A thread 👇🏾
1/8
This Bill would give legal sanction to a host of illegal actions - grave human rights breaches including murder, torture, sexual violence and a rafter of civil liberty violations. 2/8
To list a few covert operations & breaches: the shooting of lawyer Pat Finucaine in Northern Ireland, the SpyCops revelations of undercover officers having sexual relationships (and even children) with activist and the surveillance of left-wing MPs. 3/8
