.@StephenFlynnSNP: "Can I ask the Prime Minister to outline the safe and legal route available to a child refugee seeking to flee Sudan and come to the United Kingdom?" #PMQs
.@StephenFlynnSNP: "To be clear, Mr Speaker, children in Sudan are already dying.
Now whether it's a Tory slogan to "Stop the Boats" or a Labour slogan to 'Stop Small Boats' - we need some more humanity in this debate. Rather than a race to the bottom." #PMQs
.@StephenFlynnSNP: "So can I ask the Prime Minister, now that he has confirmed that there is no safe and legal route.

.@PeterGrantMP: "A string of Tory MPs have lined up to say this kind of conduct is not just acceptable but good management practice.
What does it say about the Prime Minister’s values that he has done nothing to distance himself from these statements?" #PMQs
