Massive Attack urge Government to let Ukrainian refugees into UK in viral tweet

Massive Attack have urged the UK Government to do more to help Ukrainian refugees, saying in a viral tweet: "Don't wave flags, waive visas".

The tweet, which had been shared more than 22,000 times at the time of writing, came in the colours of the Ukrainian flag and carries the logo of the UK Home Office. The band then directed the tweet to the Home Office itself and the home secretary, Priti Patel.

On Sunday evening, the Home Office announced a change to entry requirements for Ukrainian residents, who can now apply to enter the UK without a visa if they are the close family member or partner of a British national. Critics, however, have urged the Government to loosen the rules further, given the dire situation in Ukraine.
