This is a Conservative MP suggesting Ukrainians wishing to flee an invasion apply for the UK’s seasonal worker scheme (e.g. vegetable picking) to qualify for a visa. The callousness is shocking. This is being suggested in your names; demand better.

Polling suggests the majority of the UK public wants to offer refuge to people wishing to escape the hell that has been unleashed upon them. The government is choosing not to.
