Asylum seekers in the UK are often denied the right to work, leaving them vulnerable to abuse and exploitation at work, at times forced into conditions referred to as 'modern slavery'. But this dramatised film asks, are we looking at the whole story?

🚨BREAKING: The UK government just made a disastrous move—most people who arrived here through irregular paths will never be allowed to become British citizens. Ever

DISGRACE. Last year record number of people died in the Channel AND in Home Office care.
Instead of changing the cruel policies of the last govt, this govt has doubled down on them.
Every life lost was avoidable; we need safe routes and safe housing now.

The enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not migrant dinghy.

[Detention Action @DetentionAction]

This evening, the government broadcast shocking footage of people being taken from detention centres and led - by force - onto deportation flights. A man was even shown being taken on board in restraints.

Join us in telling the government: These are people, not pawns.

The death toll in Gaza has already been updated to 61,709.

The true scale of Israel's atrocities is only just emerging - and officials must face justice for every single life lost.

So should those who continued to send weapons, knowing full well they were enabling genocide.

Same old debunked rubbish.

Foreign born & British nationals are presented here as two different groups.
Obviously they are not. I am a foreign born British national. So is Boris Johnson.

But it makes a nice dog whistle & Goodwin is used to embarrassing himself on this topic

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

The Prime Minister shouldn’t be engaging — let alone reviewing arms sales — with someone that has an active ICC arrest warrant for war crimes.

[John McEvoy @jmcevoy_2]

Keir Starmer's government invited an Israeli army delegation for a secret meeting with the MoD yesterday.

Declassified exposed the meeting and confronted the IDF officers on the streets of London.

24 hours later this still hasn't been mentioned once in the UK press👇

Israeli journalist Gideon Levy:

"There is no israeli-Palestinian conflict, there is a brutal israeli occupation which must come to an end"

[Martin Konečný @MartinKonecny]

Protest in Warsaw against Polish gov't allowing Netanyahu to attend Holocaust commemoration despite ICC arrest warrant.
Protest organisers said this is "an insult to all the victims of genocide and a shameful betrayal of the memory of Holocaust victims".

[Detention Action @DetentionAction]

“It’s deeply concerning to see the government use such dehumanising language about people seeking asylum and other migrants. In their rush to remove people, they risk stepping over essential safeguards..."

Hundreds of protesters are shutting down 6th Ave in Manhattan now on New Year’s day despite large police presence to demand an end to Israel’s genocide of Palestinians 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

[Petra Schurenhofer @PetraSchur]

Israeli historian produces vast database of war crimes in Gaza.

Lee Mordechai says his country is committing genocide, as his report documents a wide range of atrocities committed by Israeli forces.

Any particular reason they’re in the cold? Why aren’t Palestinians in the warmth of their homes? Is it relevant to the story at all @BBCNews?

[Howard Beckett @BeckettUnite]

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese again nails it:

•It is not ‘war’, there are not two armies;
•It is a settler, colonial occupation;
•It is a genocide & needs to end now

Stop arming Israel 🇮🇱 today

Recognise Palestine 🇵🇸 before it’s too late.

[Dr. Sue Conlan @sueconlan]

Protest the Israeli destruction of the last hospital in North Gaza and the beating and arrest of staff and the forced displacement of seriously ill patients

More monstrous news from Gaza. There appear to be no depths to which Netanyahu will not sink 😔
