The UK’s Nationality and Borders Bill will have “a deliberate, devastating impact on the rights of refugees, migrants and people of colour”, MPs were warned this week.
Labour’s Nadia Whittome, who made the claim, argued that the bill’s severity “cannot be overstated”, adding that it risks “sending people to their deaths”.
The bill, which is being debated in the House of Lords, proposes changes to the UK asylum system that will disproportionately affect the most vulnerable LGBTQ+ asylum seekers and refugees.
