THE Communist Party of Britain have condemned the Tory government’s “racist” anti-immigration Bill.

Tony Conway, convener of the party’s anti-racism & anti-fascism commission, laid into the toxic legislation at the party’s political committee on Monday night.

He said: “People seeking to build a new life in Britain are being targeted by those who want to divide us.

“The Tory government at Westminster, the far right and the corporate media are using every weapon at their disposal to stigmatise migrants and asylum-seekers instead of addressing the real economic and social problems facing working people and their families.”

Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s Immigration Bill brands people who enter Britain by unrecognised routes criminals who will be deported and banned from the country for life.

Ms Braverman has freely admitted that the legislation is regarded as illegal in national and international human rights law.

“Even the Tories are split on the Bill — between those who believe it will undermine modern anti-slavery legislation and those who wish to abandon the European Convention on Human Rights,” Mr Conway commented.

He highlighted that 160,000 migrants are currently awaiting decisions on their immigration status, yet 70 per cent of all asylum-seekers are granted a right to remain once their cases are properly considered.

“The lack of investment in visa application points overseas, safe routes of entry and the civil servants who process these cases stands in sharp contrast to the money lavished on 400 commandeered hotels here and special detention camps in Rwanda,” Mr Conway remarked.

He criticised the Labour Party leadership’s “feeble” objection to Tory plans: that they are merely “unworkable.”

The party’s political committee finalised the organisation’s involvement in a new campaigning initiative against Britain’s racist immigration, asylum and nationality laws being launched with the Indian Workers Association, Caribbean Labour Solidarity and the Bangladeshi Workers Council.
