How can you remain silent on the matter of refugees from Ukraine? Indeed how can you align yourself with a government so inept it cannot respond to this crisis?

At time of this email the UK has issued a woeful 750 visas and Germany has welcomed 109,000 Ukrainians.

Meanwhile, the UK Home Office hope a difficult to find newly opened visa office in Lille will help speed things up! Disgraceful.

I hope all my friends bcc’d to this email will also contact you in regard to this incompetent approach to a human catastrophe.

Sacking Priti Patel would be a fine start!
