There’s a book to be written on how Sunak got to a place where his Rwanda policy with its unworkable, cruel, expensive, law breaking nationally embarrassing contradictions- Rwanda is safe but it’s a deterrent etc, etc- became his make or break policy in a country where public services are in crisis and the post Brexit economy is stagnant. Shines much light on a prime minister hopelessly out of his depth, a Tory party gripped by fantasy with their newspapers screaming them on..it’s like a dark modern Monty Python sketch.

Attending the research today has shown me that disabled people are going to have to up their game on campaigning. We're being pushed back to the era of direct action. With the rhetoric around benefits & illness going around too, it's heartbreaking that we're back to this position

There is a pervasive framework and rhetoric that devalues disabled people and undermines their human dignity. #CRDP2024

Urgent - the Palantir NHS data deal is a huge threat to the NHS, but it still hasn’t been signed, and there are reports that the government is now wavering. This is our chance to get it dropped - sign the petition to the health minister now: https://t.co/8cUlSfD9Gk

How can calling for a ceasefire be controversial? It’s literally asking people killing civilians to stop. You can ignore the calls, disagree with them or try to explain why the killing ‘must’ continue, but trying to silence calls to end this carnage goes against all our values.
