On Tuesday evening our MPs voted on the Anti-Refugee Bill. A majority voted in favour.
That means they voted in favour of treating people differently depending on how they arrived into the UK. They voted in favour of off-shore processing centres. They voted in favour of punishment, not protection.
This is crushing – but there were still wins. The government faced strong criticism and a series of rebellions led by a set of former conservative ministers.
That means the fight is not over yet.
The bill now heading back to the Lords to finalise in a process called ping-pong.
Your MP has the power to change this – call on them to be on the right side of history.
This government is out of step with the public. People in the UK are kind and generous – they open their hearts and homes to people fleeing war and persecution.
So the fight for a more welcoming, more compassionate politics, to reflect people across the UK, starts today 
Let’s build on our wins and keep up the pressure!
