Shameful behaviour from Liverpool staff @ElGatoNegroFood today, who disrupted our vigil in memory of Leonard Farruku. They ordered us to move, despite not even being on their property, and turned their outside music up so loud we could not hear one another. Very disrespectful

Today, @ObserverUK published damning new figures showing that upfront charging for NHS care led to over 900 people being denied treatment.
The NHS should be available to all based on need, not ability to pay. These figures reveal only part of the harm.

1/ 🚨BREAKING: 60 unions & migrant orgs have come together to call out this Govt’s plan to stoke divisions in our workforce & communities by funding a public sector pay rise through racist NHS & visa fee hikes. Solidarity wins! ✊🏽#TogetherAgainstCharging
ALT ALT TEXT: Over a black and white photo of a banner that says "Our NHS Stop Charging Migrants", blue and pink text in a pale green box reads the following announcement: Unions unite with migrant organisations to call out government plan to fund pay rise with higher migrant fees. All workers deserve decent pay, but this should never come off the backs of migrants, or be used to stoke division in our workforce & communities.

We stand with all striking workers. To pit us against each other is an old tactic & one we must not succumb to. To suggest fair pay for healthcare workers comes out of the pockets of the people without whom the NHS would not exist is despicable, discriminatory & racist.
The Government are pitting the fight for fair pay against migrant workers yet again. We must stand together against their attempts to divide us and oppose plans to increase NHS charges for migrants! ✊🏼

🚨BREAKING: This cruel and nonsensical move will push ever more people into poverty and out of status in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis.
🤯How does this govt expect families to pay rising energy bills, food bills, huge visa fees *&* even higher IHS?

The government’s decision to scrap the immigration health surcharge for NHS & care workers must be extended to EVERYONE.
We believe that NO ONE should be forced to pay a double tax because of where they’re from.
Watch & share our video + join the call to #ScrapTheSurcharge

The inhumanity, dishonesty and opportunism is disgusting.
Last year, a @MigrantVoiceUK report found that a single person was paying at least £2,593 every 2.5 yrs on the visa application fee & health surcharge.
The UK visa system is already horrifically exclusionary.
This is disgraceful & there should be no trades unionist worth their salt who should accept this.
I hope ppl reject these offers.
