Rejected petition Waive immigration rules for those fleeing Ukraine

Rejected on 1 March 2022

Ukraine, a peaceful sovereign nation, is under unprovoked attack. It is imperative that we do everything we can to help the people of Ukraine - whether they choose to stay or to leave. For the latter, we must remove any barrier to entry for Ukrainian refugees, immediately.

Supporting Ukraine and yes people is a moral imperative. We cannot expect our European neighbours to lead on this alone. The UK must stand with our neighbours and allies.
