Repatriate UK Citizens who are Stranded Abroad Owing to the Covid-19 Pandemic
We are requesting that the UK government help thousands of UK citizens stranded abroad due to the global Covid-19 pandemic.
Dominic Raab has suggested people talk to their airline about getting home but his grasp for the reality of the situation people find themselves in is woefully lacking.
The German government without hesitation are providing repatriation flights for their citizens. Their Auckland flight is one of many repatriation flights Lufthansa is operating to destinations around the world over the next week.
The government must improve its communication and provide British citizens, fearful of being stranded abroad, with useful advice. Where scheduled services have been withdrawn, it should leave no stone unturned to get these people on flights home.
