Abena Oppong-Asare, Labour MP for Erith and Thamesmead, has used her platform in Parliament to oppose the Government’s deportation policy.
Abena challenged Home Office Ministers at Parliamentary Question time about the shameful deportations to Jamaica, spoke at a rally outside Parliament and also raised awareness of the issue in an interview with the BBC.
Abena said “I continue to liaise with Movement for Justice who keep me appraised of developments and I will be monitoring the situation closely in order to hold the Government to account over this disgraceful policy.”
