Dozens of children’s shoes were left on the steps of Truro Cathedral on May 29th as a striking stunt in opposition of MPs' voting records, highlighting the lack of safe routes for families reuniting in post-Brexit Britain. members of the Newquay Refugee Support Group left children’s shoes outside Truro Cathedral to highlight the lack of safe routes for child refugees still in Europe, as all 6 Cornish MPs who voted against the Dubs amendment which would allow child refugees to be reunited with their families already in the Uk formally known as the Dubs Agreement named after Lord Alf Dubs who was brought to the UK as a child refugee in WW2. Groups such as Safe Passage suggest they can no longer support 95% of their current cases unless the law is reinstated to allow this. Additionally, the recent Nationality and Borders Bill makes travel more dangerous for adult and children refugees, Phoebe McCauley (Safe Passage) said We’ve abandoned these shoes outside Truro Cathedral, like our MPs have abandoned child refugees”.
