If the govt is going to deliver its missions where others have failed, it should work in partnership with the charity sector from the start, bringing their expertise, reach and knowledge of what works to their mission boards - the message sent to the PM by charity leaders today.
The violence in Amsterdam last night has been widely described as a pogrom against Jews. This is not only misleading but politically dangerous. A thread.
Antisemitism is too dangerous and important to be so misrepresented and exploited. Maccabi Tel Aviv supporting hooligans chanted 'kill the arabs', 'there are no schools in Gaza, because all the children are dead' and ripped down Palestinian flags. 1/
Hostile border policies based on 'security' have always failed - "this is racial injustice in action"
Listen to my brilliant colleague Asli Tatliadim on LBC earlier in the week
People need safe routes to reach the UK, so they don’t have to put their lives at risk in dangerous journeys.
Hostile border policies based on “security" have always failed. They ultimately result in more people dying in the channel - mostly people of colour from countries affected by British Colonial rule.
There is another way. Our Head of Campaigns, Asli, tells LBC @LBCNews

Ok, here we go: Much of my work concerns the history and return of scientific racism. I’ve written extensively about attempts to resurrect the shuffling corpse of
race science and eugenics for many years. Bigotry dressed up as biology. 1/n
...the links between racism and hostile migration policies, and a commitment to building a fair and compassionate system which ensures that another Windrush Scandal cannot happen again.”
Such an important intervention by @labourlewis and the other MP signatories:
“Immigration legislation & its framing cannot be uncoupled from racism & the exclusion of people of colour. As the government prepares its Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, we encourage...
The recent report, 'The Historical Roots of the Windrush Scandal' concluded that "30 years of racist immigration legislation" caused the Windrush scandal.
Following the shocking events of racist violence this summer, the government has an important opportunity to recognise the conclusions of the report and shift the dial.
I’ve written to the Home Secretary along with MP colleagues, to ask the govt to do just that.
...urgent reflection on the role of policy and the narratives that accompany them, in enabling environments for racism. Following the shocking events of racist violence this summer, the government has an important opportunity to...shift the dial. This means action to acknowledge
With reports that the use of hotels as asylum accommodation may continue for years, we're revisiting @4refugeewomen’s report on how coercion and control in hotels can mirror patterns of abuse many asylum-seeking women have experienced previously.

Eleven years after October 3, 2013, it has become difficult to keep up with the many commemorative dates of a massacre that, since the tragedy of Lampedusa, where at least 366 people lost their lives, has been followed by a continuous series of invisible state-led tragedies.
