Yes a 5 year old won't be expected to pay but their parents will and that will still keep that child at destitution levels, taking vital earnings and benefits income from families. 368
Cameron @cameronboyle95.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The Home Office has a policy for reuniting families even when biometrics cannot be obtained. It is choosing NOT to apply this, leaving women and children trapped in Gaza. Great work from GMIAU, challenging this unlawful practice 👏 052
