Very pleased to see thay Home Office's student deportation programme is now getting picked up. If you want more details on it see our original report from 2014 politics.co.uk/comment-analys…
The ruling by the upper tribunal found that Theresa May's Home Office acted like a tinpot dictatorship, deporting people on the basis of hearsay evidence politics.co.uk/blogs/2016/03/…
The ruling was then buried by the secretive reporting committee, which made it harder for other victims of the Home Office to use it to prevent their deportation politics.co.uk/blogs/2016/04/…
These are their stories politics.co.uk/blogs/2016/04/…

Strongly advise you watch parliament right now parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/e5…
It's full of business motion, amendment blah de blah - but in reality it is parliament kicking back against a government which has undermined and ignored it at every turn
Ken Clarke: "I find it unbelievable that people are putting such effort into excluding the possibility of the House expressing its opinion. I say to my honourable friends who are getting over excited, that perhaps they should don a yellow jacket and go outside."

Quick reminder that most Tory MPs - not some, most - are deeply misinformed.
Their constituents have tried. They have been sent material constantly over the last two and a half years and regularly emailed, all of it to inform them about basic facts over Brexit. They've ignored them and read the Telegraph.
Echo chamber culture is not just about social media. It is in parliament too.

I really do try with the echo chamber thing, but nearly every day I have to unfollow someone on the other side just because of the rampant conspiracy theory tosh.
There are still lots of Leave voters in my stream, but all of them have either changed their mind, or become so disillusioned by Brexit that they're just mostly in pain or resignation.
Anyone still actively and enthusiastically supporting it has had to go through so many emotional and intellectual contortions that they've start to look quite insane.

Over the last couple of years we've heard continuously from Brexiteers that one individual is the UK's leading trade expert - he has advised Ministers and happens to back no-deal Brexit. I think there should be more competition (niche thread) 1/
Many in the UK trade policy community think of Alan Winters as the lead expert - he's written extensively, advised pretty much everyone, and worked for Gov departments, World Bank etc.... 2/ sussex.ac.uk/profiles/97501
Unbelievable I know but Alan Winters is not on twitter. He also doesn't write extensively on Brexit. But he did write a rather stinging rebuke to Peter Lilley over the latter's claim about a WTO terms Brexit 3/ politics.co.uk/comment-analys…

Notes on the 'women's rights vs trans rights' framing that's popped up recently, since I'm starting to see (I hope) well-meaning and non-bigoted feminist colleagues buying into it. In short, it's a ploy, and distracting attention from the very real threats to women's services. 1/
First, we should always be wary when we see 'competing rights' claims being made. Framing the debate this way is a longstanding tactic of the Christian Right. They learnt it from abortion, and it's been transposed to, among other things, the fight against gay marriage. 2/
It's why US anti-gay marriage activism now focuses on rights of religious freedom, small business owners etc - see @AndrewRLewis on this. It's also why anti-abortion activists in the UK have suddenly taken up the cause of e.g. disabled people and South Asian women's rights. 3/

Over 10k people liked this tweet. But likes only go so far in helping us EU27 citizens in the UK. Fortunately it is really easy to take one more little step to do just that: all it takes is *YOU* becoming an #EUcitizensChampion for @The3Million
Go to ➡️ gofundme.com/eucitizenscham…
Even just £1 from each of you 10k+ would make a real difference. Here is how: it would help fund the critical work of @The3Million, ensuring that no EU27 citizen is left behind because of Brexit. This work cannot be carried out without your help. eucitizenschampion.co.uk/details-on-pla… 2/
I appreciate that some of you may think that the best thing to do is to support stopping Brexit instead. If so, I would like to ask you to please recognise that EU27 citizens cannot just hope for that: we are affected *now* already. Hence the support work must continue now. 3/

After two weeks of relative silence and a lovely holiday I’m back in the UK. Time to talk about 🚨 REALITIES 🚨
They are realities that I find upsetting. They also make me angry. Alternatively, you could also call this my thread of desperation. 1/
🚨 REALITY 1: Apathy
Many tell me that the majority of British people are not against EU citizens and that we are welcome. I used to believe that. Can I still? It’s simple: if this were true, this majority would be with us. Visibly. Noisily. I don’t see nor hear them. 2/
Of course I know that we have amazing friends and champions. Of course I know many of you are. But this is Twitter and we have to recognise its echo chamber problem. Beyond it the situation is dire. I have heard so many stories about apathy I can no longer remember them all. 3/

While people are actually talking about the hostile environment I'm going to tweet some of the stories @sajeraj and I have reported on over the last 12 months. It'll give you an idea of how toxic these poicies are.
Most people know that the govt wanted to schools to share data with the Home Office about children for immigration enforcement but Theresa May actually wanted to go much further. politics.co.uk/comment-analys…
MPs were using a tip off hotline to report people for immigration enforcement. politics.co.uk/news/2017/09/0…
