Despite what ministers claim, there is no evidence Rwanda scheme deters migrants.
Ineffective, illegal and immoral.

I'm not saying the Conservative leadership contest is going badly, but they just cancelled tonight's televised debate because they want to stop any more members of the public from seeing it happening.

Retweeted by Diane Abbott MP Ministers were warned that their policies would lead to rising child poverty. They went ahead anyway.
Children in England in deep poverty ‘stealing food from schools’ theguardian.com/education/2022…
It is a fallacy that we should not stop privatisation and outsourcing because we cannot afford those policies.
It is the privatised companies and their profits we cannot afford.
This is a key part of the Boris Johnson legacy, shared by all those who supported him.
Benefit cuts since 2010 increased UK child poverty in run-up to pandemic, says IFS theguardian.com/business/2022/…
Levelling up is a Tory lie.
Cost of living crisis widens Britain’s north-south divide by 30% theguardian.com/business/2022/…
At least Boris Johnson turned up to the Liaison Committee, to give them a load of flannel and bluster. The current Home Secretary doesn't do accountability at all.

Corbyn more popular than Starmer or Blair, latest poll suggests skwawkbox.org/2022/07/13/cor…
Retweeted by Diane Abbott MP Today at #PMQs I spoke on behalf of my constituents who have contacted me about the tragic murder of Zara Aleena.
Women should not have to police themselves to feel safe.
This Government must take concrete steps to tackle the epidemic of violence against women and girls.
Retweeted by Diane Abbott MP Glad the Home Office is no longer going to separate a 14 month baby from his family by denying him a visa. But how many other children are victims of this racism and unfairness? #BlackLivesMatter twitter.com/JamaicaGleaner…
We were told oddly that 20,000 deaths would be a 'good outcome'. This catastrophic number is Boris Johnson's legacy, and all those who supported his policy bear a responsibility.
Number of UK Covid deaths passes 200,000, ONS data shows theguardian.com/world/2022/jul…
The Tory candidates' debate over taxes relies on a convenient fallacy.
This is that Consumption is an input into growth. As Consumption follows production, it cannot be an input.
It can have a role in inducing growth when there is spare capacity. 1/2

Retweeted by Diane Abbott MP It was only in March that all of these Tories were cheering tax hikes in the Spring Statement.
Now they are desperate to cut them to save their skins at the next election.

It's no use people pretending how great our immigration system is when it still does this to people who live here.

A failure to tackle climate change. A failure of privatisation and under-investment in reservoirs and to prevent leaks. A Tory failure.

Retweeted by Diane Abbott MP My latest piece: All the Tories must go
"The claims for prosperity, for “levelling up” and “building back better” are a hoax on the British public while living standards are deliberately being pushed lower."

Disappointing that Priti Patel and Sadiq Khan decided to bring back Mark Rowley from retirement and make him Metropolitan Police Commissioner. He spent much of his career in the Met. No evidence that he is a reformer. Missed opportunity
Congratulations @JoeWalkerUK on a hard fought and well deserved victory in the De Beauvoir by-election @hackneycouncil
I know that guy & I'm telling you -he doesn't think it's over, he's thinking 'there's a war, weird shit happens in a war, play for time play for time, I can still get out of this, I got a mandate, members love me, get to September...'

While members of the government are concerned only with their own jobs, this country is facing serious issues.

Our new Chancellor of the Exchequer. Claimed parliamentary expenses for heating his horses stables.
Government plans are deeply troubling for our democracy and for all our civil liberties. Ministers should draw back from this.
Senior Council of Europe official urges UK not to repeal Human Rights Act theguardian.com/law/2022/jul/0…
Austerity is a political choice, not an economic necessity. The government is refusing to provide additional funds to meet rising prices and so is forcing children to go hungry or be under-nourished.
