We need every politician sitting in both chambers to fully digest the impact this is having on real humans. This person describes the distress the thought of being sent to Rwanda causes, you can hear it in his voice.

Tens of thousands of people frightened of our government.

Powerful interview on BBC Radio 4 with a man from Sudan who could be forced onto a flight to Rwanda if the #RwandaBill passes tonight.

Politicians who support this hideously cruel policy must listen to those affected by their decisions.
