This is my interaction with

before boarding in Barcelona today.
I kept being told they were doing random checks. I knew it wasn’t true. I pushed and pushed and they finally admitted my nationality, amongst others, was being targeted.
Wrong and baseless.
Our Young Europeans Network chair
@LaraCParizotto
was told by
@Ryanair
"Do you want to fly or not?" when she resisted the demand to provide ID on top of her Italian passport. She had to comply or be denied boarding.
Lara asked for guidance but got none.

Can Rishi explain how those of us w/ pre-payment energy meters (yes some still live like that) will benefit from the discount? What about those w/ bills included in rent? Are landlords going to share the "discount" with the "household"?

There are no good or bad migrants. There are people who do good AND bad things. Migrants, surprisingly, are people. That’s reason enough for them to have rights. Outstanding achievements, hard work, and talent can be acknowledged everywhere else - just not the immigration system.

Talk about refugees and there’s always the “why don’t you take a few?” comment.
I can’t. Like most, I don’t have the resources to.
The point of (a good) govt is to mobilise our collective resources in ways individuals can’t.
Asylum should be based on meeting needs appropriately.

Dear
@pritipatel
@ukhomeoffice
, last night I transferred you over £1300 for my citizenship.
Given it only costs your department £372 to process the application, I am sure the profit of over £900 you are making will go to good use and not border force and £70K eyebrows, right?

Surprise surprise! My Italian passport was also targeted by the airline for extra checks. Was told it was just a “random” check. Pressed for answers and they finally admitted it was targeted to Italian passports.
My British friend next to me was not asked for extra ID.
Abhorrent that certain nationalities are being targeted for extra security checks.
No physical proof of status for EU citizens is a problem in itself.
The UK Hostile Environment privatises its policies in the most irrational and simply wrong ways.

I have explored all avenues. I have written 100s of briefing papers. I have sent 1000s of emails.
The only thing left for me to do is become an MP myself so I don't need to beg others for voting rights.
Watch this space.
I should be used to it by now but every time a politician tells me they will bring up my issue (residence-based voting rights) in Parliament but then don't, a bit of me dies.
I am tuning in to Parliament tv. Please just make my time worth.

But there are days like today when you get messages from
