Worth Parker had just retired from the Marines when he got a message. Jason Essazay, a native of Mazar-i-Sharif and former interpreter for the US, needed his help. The Taliban had taken over Kabul and his family was trapped. 2/12
Parker was in his bed in North Carolina. He was unsure what he could do to assist, but promised to try. He discovered that the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit was flying 160 of its troops from Kuwait to Kabul to assist with the evacuation. Suddenly he had a plan. 3/12
🧵Great news! 👏👏On day 2 Report Stage of the #NationalityandBordersBill yesterday, the @UKHouseofLords voted to defeat the Government 8 times, on several important counts, in order to👇:
1⃣Remove Clause 15 which would give the Home Secretary powers to deem a person’s #asylum claim ‘inadmissible’, denying them access to the asylum system unless there are exceptional circumstances, if they travelled through or had a connection to a ‘safe’ third country (221-172)
2⃣Remove Clause 28(a) which would give the Government powers to remove people seeking asylum and detain them in offshore #detention centres (208-155)

Anyone who missed the piece earlier on @BBCr4today about #refugees on #lesbos please know there are many thousands of people crammed in appalling conditions into a camp intended for 2000, violence, little sanitation, NGOs reporting conditions to authorities but nothing changes.
In Cox's Bazaar #refugee camp in Bangladesh for #Rohingya people who have fled Myanmar there are nearly a million people living in 26 Sq. Km. reliefweb.int/report/banglad…
Final session of @PolStudiesAssoc event on refugee politics at @ScotParl, a roundtable chaired by @alison_phipps on what a ‘better’ refugee system would look like in #Scotland The #newscots strategy is rights-based and refugee-centered. But does it work in practice?
Key principle of #NewScots is integration from Day 1 says Jackie Walter from @scotgov, would be easier to do this with 1. Integrated rather than separate welfare support systems 2. right to work for asylum seekers 3. properly resourced language support #refugeepolitics
We shouldn’t take political leadership on refugee and migration issues in #Scotland for granted says Gary Christie from @scotrefcouncil Need to embed these narratives into law through a Scottish human rights act and devolved migration policies #RefugeePolitics
