Decades of hateful policies, tabloid media and politicians pandering to the far-right combined with social media algorithms to create a 'toxic soup' which led to the August 2024 riots. Our @RavSRM gives evidence at Inquiry on social media, misinformation and harmful algorithms.

While only a few will be sent due to limited capacity, there's still a risk for many.

We are working in partnerships to develop a specific response to address some of the unmet need, involving skilling up volunteers in giving legal advice.

Thank you @publiclawproject for continuing to highlight this important issue. (2/2)

[Manuel Bravo Project 🧡 @MBProjectLeeds]

Our casework team contributed to the research in this report, undertaking a mapping exercise which showed that in Leeds there is no asylum and immigration legal aid capacity and very limited capacity for free advice. This restricts access to justice. (1/2)

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Refugees didn't cause the NHS crisis.

Refugees didn't decimate our social housing.

Refugees didn't sell off our railways, water and energy.

That was the Tories — and their attempts to scapegoat desperate people in search of safety is an utter disgrace.
