🚨The Bibby Stockholm will close in 2025.
From hunger strikes and bus blockades to legal challenges, our resistance is powerful.
We won't stop until everyone can live in a safe, decent home—not in military barracks or detention hotels, but in community.

As the brilliant @ConnieSozi says this great judgment “gives the Government, yet again, an opportunity to do the right thing and properly ensure that it has learned lessons from the past”.

Wonderful news for Trevor Donald and his team at @dpg_law. This ironclads the case for any incoming govt (*cough* @UKLabour@YvetteCooperMP *cough*) to not only recommit to the Windrush Lessons Learned Review in full, but also take a serious look at the Home Office as a whole.
Our client, a pregnant woman with a 2 year old child, made an application for a judicial review of the Home Office’s refusal to increase the rate of additional payments made to pregnant women and their children under 3 years old.
Decision worth a read. Guidance as to the steps an authority would need to take to justify failure to fulfil a statutory duty and avoid a mandatory order. See paras 67–71. We acted for Ms Imam, led by Martin Westgate KC and Sarah Steinhardt @doughtystreet with @crisis intervening
Kate Eves, the chair of the Brook House inquiry, told @mattfrei that the extent of the distress of detained people’ at Brook House was striking.

Omg please just take refugee decision-making away from the Home Office. Let a UK refugee dept triage cases properly on arrival, grant the most obvious straight away and then refer others onto solicitors for a decision within a six month timetable.
We completely support and have huge admiration for the work that @JacquiMckenzie6, her team, and many other lawyers around the country do to ensure that the law is applied accurately to their clients’ cases. https://t.co/07yCGkPqe7

"The Windrush Compensation Scheme remains unfit for purpose. Some of our clients have been waiting over 3 years for a decision.....As of January 2023, just over a tenth of eligible claimants have been compensated; and at least 26 have died waiting for compensation."
Today is #WindrushDay2023 ; a day to celebrate the vast contributions of the Windrush Generation and to reflect on their ongoing fight for justice. We have written a piece on our website about that ongoing fight for justice:
