Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

After the performative racism of the other month, I report on the Labour Government’s current legislation.

1. Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill at the parliament bills site, at the time of writing, it’s in Commons Committee stage
2. Membership of the Commons Committee , again from Parliament.UK
3. Oppose reform on immigration dont mimic them say a thousand labour MPs and activists, from LCFM, the petition which kick started the opposition
4. What is in the border security asylum and immigration bill? from freemovement.org.uk, more police, more offences, longer sentences.

My comments and notes on the performative politics of the Home office

Down the sewer!

The government says, about the Bill,

A Bill to make provision about border security; to make provision about immigration and asylum; to make provision about sharing customs data and trailer registration data; to make provision about articles for use in serious crime; to make provision about serious crime prevention orders; to make provision about fees paid in connection with the recognition, comparability or assessment of qualifications; and for connected purposes.
