@JohnnyMercerUK @PoliticsJOE_UK Very poor from @AvaSantina and @PoliticsJOE_UK the kind of cheap divisive journalism that makes the world a worse place.

I said I would look into this case presented by @PoliticsJOE_UK on Monday - I have done all week.
I have been unable to validate this man’s service. Nonetheless we are working with his council to help him; but I have no evidence he is a veteran.

A huge moment for veterans today as we deliver the first Veterans ID cards to those who left before 2018.
I made a promise. I’ve kept it. Now to ramp up production. More details to follow on how you can apply for yours. Great to see how happy it made the first to receive theirs.

Brilliant US example of business partnerships & veteran engagement to boost Afghan refugee employment. Let's follow this inspirational example in the UK! Programme enlists military veterans employed at U.S. companies to serve as mentors to 1,500 Afghan refugees. @JohnnyMercerUK
Tent Partnership for Refugees@TentOrg
Proud to announce the first 16 U.S. companies joining the @TentOrg, @hiringourheroes, @Afghan_American Afghan Refugee Mentorship Program! 👏 Collectively, U.S. veterans employed by these companies will provide 1:1 professional mentorship to at least 800 Afghans 🇺🇸 🇦🇫 (1/2)

Brilliant @dpg_law who help us support #AfghanInterpreters share powerful evidence @IndependentCI on Afghan Resettlement: "A consequence of causing people to remain in [Afghanistan] while their applications are considered [is that] asylum support has effectively been offshored"
