The government claims it wants to stop small boats crossing the Channel, yet its new policies will make it harder for refugees to bring their spouses and children safely. This will push more women and children onto dangerous dinghies.
I asked the Home Secretary if this is really what she supports.

The Horizon IT system directly led to more than 900 wrongful prosecutions of sub-postmasters.
The news that the Post Office have just agreed to pay them £41million to keep using Horizon - whilst the victims are still fighting to get the compensation - is an outrage.
