Dismal framing. Every aspect of most asylum seekers’ lives is controlled & paid for by the Home Office. They can’t work, are told where to live & have no autonomy or dignity. So they aren’t *choosing* to use taxis & don’t need to be “banned” from doing so. The HO just needs to get its act in order.

If 24 people are dead due to airstrikes, I think we're safe to assume that the ceasefire is not being "tested", but is "over" - if it ever started in the first place.
