UK to refuse citizenship to refugees who have ‘made a dangerous journey’ Home Office accused of shutting out refugees, as new guidance says those applicants will ‘normally be refused’

‼️The UK has made it near impossible for refugees to become citizens‼️

If a refugee arrived via lorry or boat, they will likely be refused citizenship for using 'illegal' routes.

Yet intl law is clear: the way a refugee enters a country should not impact their claim.

Shame on the UK government.

Immigration myths are everywhere The media is flooded with outright lies and misleading statistics. Countering the falsehoods is arduous work

Lies, damn lies, and immigration statistics: me in @prospectmagazine.co.uk on the endless torrent of falsehoods and half-truths pumped out by right-wong "journalists and " thinktanks" in the British media.

‼️ The new Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill will only 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 the danger faced by people seeking safety in the UK.

Using 'counter terror-style powers' to stop boats crossing plays into far-right rhetoric which criminalises asylum-seekers & refugees.

We need safe routes, not this Bill ‼️

We are celebrating the fall of dictator Assad alongside our Syrian friends, participants and supporters 🙌

We hope to see a Syria governed by the people, and for the people, and we urge minimal outside interference with the process as this has proved over history to be counter-productive 🤝
