Windrush group pair quit in protest at ‘fig leaf’ response to scandal

Two resign citing UK ministers' failure to repeal hostile environment legislation

Two members of the Windrush cross-government working group have resigned, citing unhappiness with ministers' response to the Windrush scandal.

Bishop Joe Aldred, and Arike Oke, who represented the Black Cultural Archives (BCA), informed the government last year that they were leaving the group. The Home Office has only this month published the new, smaller membership list, revealing it has shrunk from nine to seven people.
