Welcome to the weekly Free Movement newsletter! The only version of the Prime Minister’s press conference that I recommend reading is this fact checked one by Lizzie Dearden. As my periodic reminder that there are two countries involved in this process, it is worth checking in with what is happening at Rwanda’s...
Welcome to the weekly Free Movement newsletter! “Election vanity scam” (as coined by someone who seemingly works for the Home Office) is probably the most accurate description of the Rwanda plan at this point. As I have said before, best case scenario for the government surely has to be that any...
Welcome to the weekly Free Movement newsletter! On the asylum front, things are still relatively quiet but this is very much the calm before the storm, as the Rwanda Bill is expected to pass next week. We will then hopefully at least get some clarity as to how the government intends to...
Welcome to the weekly Free Movement newsletter! Over the weekend, the number of people who have crossed the Channel to the UK by small boat reached 5,435. This is a 43% increase from the same time last year. Although all of these arrivals would be blocked from the asylum system if...
Welcome to the weekly Free Movement newsletter! Apparently since 7 October 2023 every entry clearance application made from Gaza has been rejected by the Home Office. That was the position up to the date of disclosure in this judicial review by a Palestinian refugee trying to bring his family to the UK, and there is no reason to...
First of all, a huge thank you and congratulations to all those who worked so hard on their responses to the Review of Civil Legal Aid call for evidence, which closed last week. I promise this isn’t one of those situations where I am subtly trying to communicate that I’ve...
Welcome to the weekly Free Movement newsletter! I was pleased to see one of the three new asylum backlogs get some media coverage at the weekend. I have been baffled as to why the government created this situation ever since the Illegal Migration Act was first published in July last year. Essentially, they seem to have...
Welcome to the weekly Free Movement newsletter! Another week, another story about the Home Office unfairly refusing someone’s late application to the EUSS. This one seems particularly egregious. On that note, thanks again to all who attended our seminar on late applications last week, and a reminder that next week we...
Welcome to the weekly Free Movement newsletter! A lot less happened last week, which makes a nice change. The first thing I wanted to flag up is this Guardian article in which the Home Office said that it has been wrongly sending letters threatening people with being sent to Rwanda. As detailed in...
Welcome to the weekly Free Movement newsletter! We think we’re finally back to the normal format this week and in the final stages of sorting snags from the website rebuild just before Christmas… There was tragic news from the Channel this weekend. Five people are reported to have drowned as...
We’ve decided to turn the text of Sonia’s weekly email newsletter introduction into a blog post. It’s too good for us not to share with blog readers as well as newsletter subscribers. If you want the newsletter promptly and straight to your inbox on Mondays at 12pm then you’ll still...
Welcome to the weekly Free Movement newsletter! I was away last week so this is very much an exercise in catching myself up, as well as all of you. It seems that quite a lot happened, and so in absolutely no particular order (apart from doing Rwanda last because I just...
