In sort, it’s a shameful assessment of the mess and the lack of grip that has been created by this Government and on the watch of Priti Patel. They need to take urgent action on this and we will be holding them to account! (6/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Nick Thomas-Symonds MP @NickTorfaen

The Home Office must deliver on greater diversity “to reduce the likelihood of another Windrush-type scandal in the future” and it “does not understand the support people need to navigate its systems effectively and humanely, or how its actions affect them” (5/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Nick Thomas-Symonds MP @NickTorfaen

“The significant lack of diversity at senior levels” means the Home Office does “not access a sufficiently wide range of perspectives when establishing rules and assessing the human impact” and “the Windrush scandal demonstrated the damage such a culture creates” (4/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Nick Thomas-Symonds MP @NickTorfaen

The Home Office has “no idea of what impact it has achieved for the £400 million spent each year by its Immigration Enforcement” (3/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Nick Thomas-Symonds MP @NickTorfaen

The Committee “remain concerned by how little evidence the Home Office has” on immigration. There are concerns the Home Office “does not make decisions based on evidence” & instead risks making them on “anecdote, assumption and prejudice” (2/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Not everyone will have read the horror show that is the cross-party @CommonsPAC report on the Home Office - after 10 years of Tory control - so here are some of the low-lights: (1/6) — PolitiTweet.org

A tragic and powerful reminder of the dangers our frontline officers face to keep us safe. Remembering Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes today, and thinking of the pain of their families and friends at their loss. — PolitiTweet.org

Nick Thomas-Symonds MP @NickTorfaen

Cross-Party @CommonsPAC shows the Tories run the Home Office without compassion or competence: policy based on “anecdote, assumption and prejudice” not evidence, having no idea about policy failure making lives a misery & wasting money - this is a scandal. https://t.co/DesS6qBSr9 — PolitiTweet.org

Shamefully, the Tories’ flagship Violent Crime Taskforce hasn’t even met for over a year, let alone acted. This is typical of their complete failure to get to grips with a decade-long national rise in violence. Urgent action is desperately needed: https://t.co/4CUw6CDULi — PolitiTweet.org

Nick Thomas-Symonds MP @NickTorfaen

I’m determined to show @UKLabour is the party to keep you, your family and community safe, in the face of Tory failure on crime. Good to speak with @JoeMurphyLondon about that work & how the values of social justice & responsibility I grew up with guide me:https://t.co/CkOARhfhW7 — PolitiTweet.org

The abuse and hatred many Jewish people are subject to online is totally unacceptable and we know it can all too often lead to attacks in person. I’m looking forward to this event & discussing what more we can all do to address the scourge of anti-semitism. — PolitiTweet.org

Good to see @AngelaRayner challenging the Prime Minister on low wages in the social care sector. We have relied on our key workers throughout the #coronavirus crisis and the Prime Minister doesn’t even know what they earn #PMQs — PolitiTweet.org

The #BattleofBritain was a defining moment in World War Two and our national story. There's an incredibly moving monument to that sacrifice outside Parliament that serves as a powerful tribute to those who gave so much to protect our freedoms. We will never forget them. — PolitiTweet.org

Excellent @The_TUC speech @Keir_Starmer: - right to say that Labour and the Trade Union Movement need to stand together like never before. - made an important offer to work with the Government, Trade Unions and Business to save jobs at this time of huge economic challenge. — PolitiTweet.org

Allegations of bullying must be treated fairly & promptly. Credibility & trust continue to be eroded with the report on the Home Secretary’s alleged bullying unpublished after six months. This wouldn't be acceptable in any workplace. One rule for them, another for everyone else. — PolitiTweet.org

I had my disagreements with @Geoffrey_Cox during our many debates but he’s right to call the PM’s proposal to break international law “unconscionable”-it’s wrong & diminishes the UK in the eyes of the world. The PM needs to get a deal & we can all move on. https://t.co/BqPWLYOidJ — PolitiTweet.org

Unaccompanied children caught up in the Moria camp fire are facing unimaginable horrors. I’m calling for Ministers to ensure the UK lives up to our responsibilities and promises as a country and offers a place of safety. The Government must show compassion and act without delay — PolitiTweet.org
