In response to my question today says Windrush crisis has come as "some element of surprise".... I raised a case in 2011, the Home Office knew about this in 2014 and it has been in the media for months. She is the Home Secretary. Surprised?

10 days after I first asked, the Home Secretary still can't tell me how many Windrush citizens have been detained or deported. She still can't tell me. Yesterday the Home Secretary misled Parliament at . Is she really the right person to lead the Home Office?

As I said two days ago: I have been a government minister. If I had been responsible for the Windrush scandal I certainly would have resigned I would have been so embarrassed and ashamed. And now it turns out the Home Secretary lied to Parliament yesterday

The Home Office has imprisoned innocent citizens in their own country and stripped them of their rights for years. Then the Home Secretary either lied to Parliament yesterday about the existence of removal targets, or has absolutely no idea what is going on in her Department.

It is now clear that a) targets meant innocent Windrush citizens were targeted as ‘easy targets’, b) the Home Secretary lied to Parliament and c) has completely lost control of her department. If I was responsible for this disgrace I would have resigned last week

Can your committee find out how many innocent citizens have been imprisoned in their own country Harriet? I asked the Home Secretary last Monday and she has still not told me.

It's a good job my office keeps better records than . I raised a Windrush case with the Immigration Minister in 2011. I am demanding personal apology from the Prime Minister, significant compensation for William & urgent confirmation of his citizenship and passport.

I raised a Windrush case with the Home Office 7 yrs ago. William arrived aged 4 in 1950's and worked for 40 years. He still has not got his citizenship, passport or right to work. The Immigration Minister told me my constituent's problem was his own fault.

At PMQS Theresa May said: "We owe it to them (the Windrush generation) and the British people." This is the point the Govt just don't understand. The Windrush children ARE British people. They ARE British citizens. They came here as citizens. That is why this is such an injustice

My friend and comrade absolutely knocked this out of the park today at . What has changed since 2004 ? "I’m actually sick and tired of Government Ministers who simply blame other people when something goes wrong".

In I raised a Windrush case that I first wrote to the Home Office about in 2011. My constituent came here in 1956 and worked for 40 years before being stripped of his right to work. 7 yrs on his case has still not been resolved. I will be fighting for compensation for him.

So far they've tried to blame Home Office officials, immigration enforcement staff, Labour ministers, successive governments and (in letters to me) the fact that Windrush children didn't get their status sorted before 1971 (they didn't need to - they were citizens). Any more?

Correct. How can the PM apparently take responsibility, apologise and promise action to address this crisis in one breath and then say “it’s your fault”? The latter certainly makes the latter sound somewhat insincere to Windrush children still seeking justice and redress.

Theresa May says people who have retired abroad will get help - but unfortunately the helpline is not free from Jamaica, and not open during Jamaican hours - so not very helpful

In what other field of public policy does the government increase fees by 200% and charge extortionate amounts making thousands and thousands of £ in profit from people that the government itself bans from working or accessing benefits so they can earn money to pay these fees?
