Damning evidence given to the Home Affairs Committee:
@ColinYeo1 and @BerryAdrianC say Home Office communication on migration rules has been awful.

"If we’re struggling to understand what’s happening, then the migrants who are personally impacted will have no idea." #COVID19

Poor communication on immigration rules is also an issue of substance - @BerryAdrianC says. For instance, initially the Home Office suggested automatic visa extensions for NHS workers but then following announcement suggested it only applied to Tier 2 workers.

Completely terrible: If NHS or care workers die of #COVID19 and they're here on Tier 2 visas with their family members, there are currently no clear provisions in place for their family to stay in the UK.

One of clear issue to come out of the Home Affairs Committee on migration: government migration rules force migrants to choose between going out to work and becoming destitute. This undermines the government's "stay at home" rule. Govt need to suspend immigration rules #COVID19

Crucial from @JCWI_UK about why the Hostile Environment needs to be suspended: until now the Home Office has made it clear to people that they shouldn't be accessing public services. So exemptions aren't enough when there's a general idea that they’re being checked up on.

As @chaipatel0 implies: the Home Office were capable of sending clear messages of hostility + fear through the Home Environment policies. They repeated the policies time and again. There's no excuse for their unclear, confusing communication about migration rules under #COVID19

. @BellaSankey says coronavirus is the first huge test of Home Office since the Windrush report was published. Their lack of action and piecemeal measures suggests they haven't learned the lessons from Windrush: "from what we’re seeing, they are resolutely failing".
