Britain voted for change last year. Today's Employment Rights Bill delivers this. Had it been in place - GMB members at Amazon Coventry may well have won their fight for union recognition. And tens of thousands of care workers would not have had to risk working with COVID. #EmploymentRightsBill

This should be changed asap. If we give someone refugee status, it can't be right to then refuse them route to become a British Citizen. To say they can have a home in our country, but never a place in our society and be forever second class. freemovement.org.uk/good-charact...
