Home Office: 'we make no apologies for pursuing bold solutions.' What about for pursuing inhumane, illegal, extortionate and totally ineffective ones?

The Adult Social Care APPG’s Future of Care 5 Reception.
#ASCAPPG APPG on Adult Social Care

Great attending The Adult Social Care APPG’s Future of Care 5 Reception in parliament on Wednesday 20th March.

It was great that my local MP Tim Farron attended.

It was great to speak about my thought and priorities for social care. #ASCAPPG #TimFarron APPG on Adult Social Care Tim Farron

So deeply depressing - & frankly terrifying - that as many as 68 Tory MPs just voted to make shameful #Rwanda Bill even more shameful by supporting amendment which would explicitly disapply *any* international law that might stop removals. This is seriously dangerous territory

Houthi attacks in Red Sea are clearly deeply destabilising but UK involvement in retaliatory action is very concerning. What’s the strategy? If it escalates further how far is Govt willing to go? And why the UK & US alone? This should be fully debated & voted on in parliament

Here's the crux. If Govt can argue that ploughing ahead with Rosebank, 100+ other oil & gas licences and Cumbria coal mine all count as 'transitioning away from fossil fuels', then either they haven't read a word of the #COP28 text, or the text itself just isn't strong enough.

Deep shame that flagship promise to LGBTQ+ community to ban 'conversion therapy' isn’t in #KingsSpeech , at a time we’re seeing terrible rise in hate crime against trans people. Sunak's Govt is sending a message that they tolerate this abuse. They must act to #banconversiontherapy

More nasty divisiveness from the hard right playbook Sunak is using for his speech. Horrible veiled attack on trans people for a cheap round of applause. He doesn't care about the fact hate crimes against trans people have gone up 56% under this Government's watch. #CPC2023

This is pure political game-playing from Sunak, but all of us will pay the price. Delaying energy efficiency measures will mean higher bills & more emissions. Delaying green investment will mean fewer jobs & less prosperity. Delaying petrol ban will mean dirtier air. What a farce

🚨BREAKING ‼️ Excellent news that Court of Appeal has ruled Braverman's utterly inhumane, grotesquely immoral & totally unworkable #Rwanda scheme to be illegal too - & in clear breach of human rights law. Time for an asylum policy which treats people with respect & dignity.

In 13 years as Green MP, I've called out incompetent Ministers, challenged Government cowardice over #Brexit , demanded more affordable housing, helped secure  ban on fracking, stood up for refugees – and always put #BrightonPavilion first. Some of my highlights in Parliament 👇📽️

Happy #EuropeDay !🇪🇺

European values are vitally important yet #Brexit has undermined them. The 'more prosperous & safer future outside EU' never materialised. My #Brighton constituency has most signatories to #Brexit Inquiry petition & I'm fully behind it
