Also spent the last 24 hours trying to connect with refugee charities and centres that know the status of people coming to the UK, however, the government's approach has changed so recently that nobody quite knows when we'll be able to bring people back here. A couple of Polish locals in London have volunteered to help research and link us with people on the ground in Poland. It will probably have all changed again by the time we get there on Thurs/Fri, so very hard to plan ahead.

Where are they? If their delivery turns up in the morning, are they nearish enough that they could be collected and dropped to you (even if on the M20 on the way down)?

One of the parents at my kids school has spent the last 48 hours trying to make her spare flat available, but the government process seems to be ‘find your own Ukrainian’ which is clearly crazy and shows that they’re putting hardly any effort into this.

I’m setting off right now, stuff to collect on the way through, Chunnel crossing this afternoon.
