We are devastated to hear of the loss of 30+ migrants trying to reach the uk.
Today we mourn their lost lives while just last night, Priti Patel announced a new yarls wood style detention centre to inhumanly detain migrant women seeking safety.
The UK has blood on its hands.

GPs to prescribe fruit and veg to low income families ?!?? How about we give families cash buy the food they want and opportunity for well paid secure work that gives time/space for cooking e.g moving beyond precarity and survival mode 1/2 https://t.co/N2ON8xwUzO
I tell myself nothing Israelis do will shock me but then I check the news. In the past hours they killed a prominent journalist in Gaza, didn’t allow humanitarian aid into the strip, killed a 16yo in the West Bank, targeted medics with bullets, & sang about freedom in Eurovision.
only a culture as utterly dedicated to patriarchal, carceral & policing solutions to every social problem can launch something like this in response to a cop being charged for murdering a woman. after decades of undercover cops having relationships & children with women activists
the question is never
"is Britain racist? 😥"
it's:
can there be a "Britain" that isn't?
And when we realise that there can't be:
how can we tear it apart?
