@redditchrachel How did you vote, please?https://twitter.com/AlfDubs/status/1220031254990639112 …
The UK settles more child refugees than any other EU country and will continue to do so. This amendment has been misreported in the press to imply we will stop. Not so. Our policy and approach remains the same. This amendment not the way to tackle. I will write with detail.

Using this as a bargaining chip in future Brexit negotiations perhaps? A rather mercenary move, no? If it’s ‘policy’ to reunite then why not take the opportunity to enshrine that commitment in legislation? I look forward to hearing the govt explanation.

We're talking about unaccompanied children here. Taking that of the table would have been the humane thing to do.

I, for one, am disappointed that this amendment wasn’t passed. Genuinely feel the most humane thing to do is resettle unaccompanied child refugees with family members that have already achieved settled status in the U.K.

But that requires compassion. Not a Tory strong point, that. Still, disheartening that so many of our MPs take that attitude, as with refusing to give EU nationals official, concrete proof that they're settled here. Windrush 2.0 on the way.
