THREAD

We are helping thousands of vulnerable people who were housed during the pandemic to stay in accommodation this year, with more than £90M of funding announced today. gov.uk/government/new… (1/5)
The incredible national effort to support rough sleepers during the pandemic has protected many lives and is widely regarded as one of the most successful programmes of its kind in the world. I’m hugely grateful to all those involved. (2/5)
This funding will ensure that vulnerable people and rough sleepers continue to have safe accommodation and the care and support they need, to ensure as few as possible return to the streets. (3/5)
The Next Steps Accommodation Programme is part of the government’s landmark commitment to end rough sleeping for good.

In Greater Manchester, over £3M has today been allocated to councils to support the vulnerable. (4/5)
And we are providing 6,000 new supported homes - the most ambitious project of its kind with the single biggest injection of specialist accommodation since the Rough Sleeping Initiative began. (5/5) gov.uk/government/new…

The judge in this case also previously challenged the Rwanda deportation scheme and helped end a fast-track deportation scheme.

🧵A thread on yet another judge with remarkable similarity between their background and decisions👇

We need radical overhaul. Image
In the case of the prolific Albanian criminal she acknowledged the man’s offending was serious – yet his appeal against deportation was still upheld because it wasn’t “extreme” enough.

And this wasn’t the first time Judge Hirst sided with a foreign criminal. Image
In another case she upheld a decision allowing a Guinean national to remain here despite convictions for possessing an offensive weapon and for carrying a blade.

The tribunal said he was “socially and culturally integrated” despite his repeated offending. Image

Meet Judge Canavan.

She recently refused to deport a convicted rapist and a crack cocaine dealer.

She was previously a refugee charity caseworker and has volunteered on cases preventing deportation.

A thread 👇 Image
In 2005 and 2006 she’s thanked in Bail for Immigration Detainees (BID) annual reports for volunteering on detainee cases.

The very same booklet series also features Judge Beach, who I exposed in a thread last week:

In November 2005 she wrote on the Ugandan civil war in Socialist Lawyer, the magazine of the Haldane Society of Socialist Lawyers. Image

Meet Judge Beach.

She recently allowed a knife-carrying Class A drug dealer to stay in Britain. Her decision was overturned because of an error of law.

She previously sat on the board of a pro asylum charity, Asylum Aid.

🧵A thread👇 Image
Whilst deciding deportation appeals as a part-time judge, Bail for Immigration Detainees (BID) publicly thanked her for volunteering to represent immigration detainees in court. Image
She became a part time judge in December 2006. But records show she was still a director of Asylum Aid until February 2007. Image

A damning review has exposed how the criminal justice system is failing rape victims.

From the police through to prosecutors, administrative failings are leading to delays and fewer convictions.

🧵The findings will shock you. Ministers must act.👇
The report reveals that 3/4 of rape cases sent by the police for early advice breach CPS rules.
They arrived missing basic evidence such as the victim’s video interview or the suspect’s account.

That forces costly re-work and further delay. Image
Charging files are no better.

7 in 10 do not meet standards – statements and exhibits are simply absent.

The result? Trials that limp into court half-blind, delays that drain victims, and defendants who walk free because of mismanagement. Image

This is an absurd decision that will infuriate the public.

And it’s not a one off.

🧵The immigration judge in this case, Rebecca Owens, is also behind other decisions that defy common sense👇

(1/6) Image
Last August, she ruled that a Somali man, convicted of robbery, burglary, and drug-dealing, could stay in the UK - because deporting him might make his drug addiction worse. Image
And in April, she overturned the deportation of an Albanian asylum seeker - despite the fact that he failed multiple times before, and had made claims about being trafficked that one judge described as 'purely fictitious'. Image

Labour’s Immigration White Paper is out.

It’s a white flag for yet more mass migration - legal and illegal.

For the boats to keep coming. For our borders to stay open.

It’s another shameful betrayal of voters.

Here’s why 🧵
The Home Secretary says this will cut net migration by 50,000.

That’s a rounding error. We could well see that wiped out by 50,000 illegal migrants crossing the channel this year.

Home Office insiders say that migration could reach 525,000 by 2028. That’s an extreme figure.
Labour want to make it easier for a ‘limited pool of UNHCR refugees… to apply for employment'.

But the UN recognises 123 million refugees worldwide.

A small proportion would still be huge. Image
