The UK govt's approach to migration is cruel and inhumane.

The absence of safe routes and the criminalisation of people seeking safety force more people to risk their lives at sea – with devastating effects.

RT or QT this to tell @SuellaBraverman we need safe routes now!

[Trust for London @trustforlondon]

London has a proud history of welcoming people from all around the world. Many find sanctuary here from persecution and conflict.

But today's announcement of the proposed illegal migration bill goes against this. By removing people who arrive on small boat arrivals and.. 1/3

@GIJoeChan @ArchivesEandP @SWPGHAN @RCPCHtweets @NHSEngland @tweetcldf @WelshGovernment @NHSWalesDU Such a helpful article! Great work!

New & exclusive @theipaper for the first time, I have obtained data that links child deaths to homelessness and reveals a public health crisis for children forced into temporary accommodation. The data comes from a new report published by the @TA_APPG https://t.co/tgOM7bojf2

@m_heys @scyps @NHS_ELFT @ELFT_QI @ich_ppp @IOE_London What a fantastic and much needed study - can’t wait to hear more!

@O2 wasted 5 hours of my time trying to upgrade my phone. Couldn’t do it at local store due to system error and now just went to collect an order that hadn’t arrived. You need to revise the emails you send to click and collect customers. Very disappointing service.

Children are being neglected but where is the @ChildrensComm? 👇

@LizzieWortley Another way in which young people fall through the gaps is that adult medical clinics are by speciality, for many young people a generalist with a little experience in adolescent health may be better placed to manage them.

@RCPCHtweets Would be great if @RCPCHtweets could comment on the disgraceful conditions children are being held in immigration centres.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Utter brilliance. And truth.

[Emma Sunderland @EmmaVsun]

I signed @RCPCHtweets letter calling on the PM to address the child health inequalities.

4 million children are living in poverty in the UK and this number could reach 5 million by 2030. Its time to #ShiftTheDial on child health - sign here: https://t.co/WJ4M5kwVMx

330000 excess deaths due to austerity BEFORE covid. We cannot let this happen again. These Tory policies are literally a death sentence.

[Emma Sunderland @EmmaVsun]

They’re literally killing off the poor (and their children) with their policies but they don’t want you to know about it and they’re not going to do anything about it. Thank goodness for the clinicians/charities/teachers etc. trying to make a difference #povertykillschildren

EXCL: Thérèse Coffey is ditching the government’s long-promised white paper on health inequalities despite the 19-year gap in life expectancy between rich and poor - another top scoop from @denis_campbell https://t.co/FDhoFq3PHG

Who gains from today's Budget tax-cutting measures?

[DrGuddiSingh @DrGuddiSingh]

Great to see medics finally taking a stand! 💪🏽@RCPCHtweets starting to make the necessary steps to help paediatricians tackle child poverty and #CostofLivingCrisis: https://t.co/aiXfBStl7w

@TessaRDavis Resume thanks!

– we must look at our conditions. The water might be a universal basic income, the sun safe, affordable housing and easy access to nature and creativity. Food could be loving relationships, community or social support services. https://t.co/BXhHCbyrR7

@Dr_Abi_W @asthmalunguk Would love to see/use your letter! Is it something you can share more widely?
