23/06/2022 | 16:24:03 Thank you, Mister President. How do we find the words to describe this new proposed law on asylum seekers in Britain? British Home Secretary Priti Patel describes it as, and I quote, "first class policy". I am going to do a first here, as an Irish Republican, and quote Prince Charles, who said it was "appalling". The New Yorker magazine described it as "harebrained and immoral". I would describe it as amongst the most cynical, shameful, not to mention racist, proposals ever produced by a... 22/06/2022 | 16:22:56 Thank you, Mister President.

On behalf the United European Left I want to congratulate the rapporteur for a very well thought out and detailed report on steps to take towards strengthening the strategic partnership between the Council of Europe and the European Union.
