Why bother with a discussion of what family reunion actually is & an analysis of the impact of changes with, say, @ramfel.bsky.social who recently published an excellent report excoriating the system’s EXISTING failures that keep families apart? Nah. It’s #r4today🤷♀️ www.ramfel.org.uk/family-reuni...
Refugees Family Reunion Bill 2018. Yvette Cooper www.parallelparliament.co.uk/mp/yvette-co...
The likely impact of introducing even more barriers to safe family reunification for refugees is that MORE people will instead take dangerous smugglers’ routes to reunite with their loved ones. & then Labour, Tories & Reform can demonise THEM on #r4today too. Yay.
But remember we have to vote Labour anyway because Reform something something 🤪
Sadly that's true. Starmer is Biden do we want Farage modelling a Trump style regime
Forcing people into unsafe routes doesn't reduce overall numbers, causes pain and suffering, and actually increases the amount of accommodation we need to provide and costs the UK taxpayer more. It makes no sense on any level. bsky.app/profile/thin...
