Ibrahima Bah, 19, in court for driving the boat that killed 4 people on December 14. Judged for risking his life in the hope of a better future.

The absence of safe passageways are and will remain the real culprits of this tragedy.

Ibrahima Bah, 19 ans, au tribunal pour avoir piloté le bateau qui a fait 4 morts le 14 décembre. Jugé pour avoir risqué sa vie dans l'espoir d'un avenir meilleur.
Le non-accueil et l'absence de voies de passages sûres sont et resteront les vrais coupables de ce drame.

16 organisations working with displaced people in France have written a joint statement about the devestating effect of the High Court's decision on Rwanda.

The looming threat of deportations will intensify these desperate journeys, but it will not stop them.

Just because something is legal, does not make it right. History has plenty examples of that. Today is a dark day for human rights in the UK. #StopRwanda

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Deeply disappointing from High Court on #Rwanda scheme but it’s still inhumane, morally bankrupt & unworkable - idea of trading our asylum obligations with other countries must be abandoned & gross degrading of human rights rejected. Here’s to the appeal.. https://t.co/k4p31Y7Ank

'If a plant were wilting we wouldn’t diagnose it with “wilting-plant-syndrome” – we would change its conditions. Yet when humans are suffering under unliveable conditions, we’re told something is wrong with us, and expected to keep pushing through' https://t.co/KKQ9c94LVl

[Dan Andrews @DanielAndrewsMP]

Every government secondary and specialist school already has access to mental health workers – and now we're expanding the program to government and low-fee non-government primary schools, too.

Very excited to see the Mental Health in Primary Schools model being rolled out across the state. Proud of our @EduMelb and @MCRI_for_kids team and the model we’ve developed and evaluated that enables schools to support the mental health of their students.

A great systematic review in @AusJRuralHealth led by @alexperkins_ exploring how student mental health is supported in rural areas. Lovely to see a balanced focus on enablers as well as barriers - these communities are doing fantastic work for their kids! https://t.co/yXzlchl8FE

[Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) @MCRI_for_kids]

Relaxing COVID-19 restrictions has not, and is not, taking the pressure off low-income families, and yet they are met with endless deadlines – the end of furlough, the start of the benefit cut...

UK Parliament: Protect the freedom and safety of Afghan women and girls https://t.co/animB0pLlO via @UKChange

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

We have an obligation to offer safety in the UK to men and women fleeing from violence and persecution in Afghanistan.

UK support for the US-led invasion played a key role in creating the turmoil and upheaval we are now witnessing.

The Government must not turn their backs.
