hey fellow migrants rights advisers & activists!
These are worrying times, for the people we help, and for us too.
Take care of yourselves!

MPs have been told over and over again not to publicly name asylum seeker accommodation because it is dangerous. This hotel was set on fire tonight. They are your constituents too. You doxxed them in the Houses of Parliament.

As usual, I'm with @MassiveAttackUK.

The most ironic thing about today is that despite all the videos we’ve seen, next week people will go back to saying “you see the thing about racism in the UK is it’s just very subtle, not in your face.”

So the very legal professionals who successive governments have treated so shabbily, are now to be expected to work around the clock.

Far-right violence hasn’t come out of nowhere.
It is the result of anti-migrant rhetoric from mainstream politicians who scapegoat refugees.
We are an anti-racist movement that believes in a more inclusive world. We defeated the far right before. We will defeat them again.

Rachel Reeves suddenly discovers that the Tory accounts were £20bn worse than predicted. Who knew? Well, pretty much everybody, including the IFS and the OBR. Echoes of 2010's "no money left". Let's hope for a different outcome. [Telegraph Sunday 28/7/2024]

A thought this morning for the inspirational @CarolineLucas who spent over a decade working hard to establish the Greens as a viable Parliamentary Party. She now steps down by handing over to four Green MPs who not only won, but won comfortably.

Freedom of movement was a precious gift - to work and travel and live and love in 27 other countries - we should be expanding the opportunity of people here to benefit from it not competing to rule out its return #BBCDebate

Did you know that being recognised as a refugee in the UK can lead to destitution and homelessness?
This #refugeeweek, together with @HMSC, we will be highlighting unnecessary challenges faced by refugees during the ‘move on’ period. #LegalAid #Lawstop

Thank you @StephenFlynnSNP - we've all had enough of the immigrant bashing. It's time for all political parties to recognise and champion the fact that migration is positive for our society, culture and economy.

Oh dear. Heart sinks even further. Black and brown people know this "highest quality candidates" rhetoric far too well. Coming soon: "cultural fit", "attitude", "aggressive"... "low IQ"?
"I want the highest quality candidates."
Sir Keir Starmer discusses his candidate selection and calls Diane Abbott a 'trailblazer.'

If you want to know what the next big public scandal is going to be, it's right here - the rotten Single Justice Procedure. Justice done on the cheap and behind closed doors which is leading to horrible injustices. (Chapeau to @kirkkorner for doing so much to expose it) ⬇️

Also that 14 years ago British citizens could reside in the UK with their family, without discriminatory & unrealistic conditions being imposed on them. Rules brought into force on 9th July 2012 have led to divided families, and children forced into a single-parent upbringing
