Andy's News

Flight to Rwanda stopped

As you will all know at the very last hour on 14 June the flight to Rwanda was cancelled due to the intervention of the European Court of Human of Rights. By this stage the original flight list of 130 asylum seekers had been reduced to only 3. Those who were forced onto the plane shared their truly harrowing experiences about being threatened, kicked and pushed. The National Independent Commission on Enforced Removals (2012) set up by Citizens UK set up after the Jimmy Mbenga tragedy made recommendations to avoid this happening again and on how to treat people being deported with dignity and humanity. This is also Lib Dem policy since 2018. Sadly the current government is not interested in how asylum seekers are treated.

Highley by-election - The Second big win last night.

The stunning Lib Dem parliamentary by-election win in Tiverton and Honiton was not the only win of the night. The Lib Dems also gained the Highley seat on Shropshire Council in a tough three-way fight, gaining more votes than the Conservatives and Labour combined.
