I take Lee Anderson up on his challenge of going with him to Ashfield, and asking foodbank users if they’re only there because “they can’t cook properly.”
It’s that’s week of the year when all my neighbours will hear is ‘GOOD EVENING EUROPE’ #EUROVISION

We’re extremely disappointed that the government is making calories on menus mandatory in England from 6 April.
We know it causes anxiety for people affected by eating disorders.
We know it can increase fixations on restricting calories for anyone with anorexia or bulimia. 🧵

Refugees turned away at Calais
Privatised visa services ripping off desperate refugees
Lies told in parliament on what we’re doing to help Ukrainians
The least welcoming place in Europe
I’m so ashamed of how our government has responded to the crisis in Ukraine

Good God. I had to read this twice to be sure I’d understood. The national disgrace of letting base Faragist racism define our asylum policy has never looked more disgusting. And the whole world is watching.

"We need this Government to show as much concern for Winston Churchill’s legacy on the Refugee Convention as it does for his statues."
Our @09Mohamedomar writes in the @Independent about how the Government’s #AntiRefugeeBill vandalises the UK’s legacy on the Refugee Convention.

People are fleeing #Ukraine.
No one should be stopped from leaving.
All refugees must be welcomed.

Wow - even Victor Orbán is treating Ukrainian refugees better than @pritipatel and @BorisJohnson…
Please RT.

. @BorisJohnson @pritipatel Your Government failing to provide safe and legal route for Ukrainians to travel directly to UK is unconscionable - we should be a country of sanctuary supporting innocent people against tyrants - we must help independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

Every day I am more ashamed of my country. This government is not just morally bankrupt, it is heartless and cruel. #NotMyPM
As the rest of Europe removes all visa and passport requirements for Ukrainians fleeing from conflict
The UK Government SUSPENDS visa applications
Johnson's lack of humanity would be sickening if we were not so used to it
A national disgrace

The UK government has stopped accepting visa applications from all Ukrainians who do not have a close British family member living in Ukraine.
This will prevent Ukrainian refugees from coming to the UK, including those with family here.
This is completely inhumane.

Refugee protection isn't history. It's about how we protect people today and tomorrow. As the missiles rain down on Ukraine, we call on the UK Government to #StandUpForAsylum and scrap its #AntiRefugeeBill.
