We’re appalled by the anti-immigration rhetoric and divisive language used by the Prime Minister during his speech to unveil an unfair and inhumane approach to immigration.

People have always moved and will always move.

🚨Since coming to power the govt has continued to argue that Albania is a 'safe' country, despite the risks facing those seeking protection in the UK.

Our new briefing shows the harm this has caused Albanian survivors of trafficking - who make up nearly 1/4 of our clients. 🧵1/5

Important APPG mtg today assessing the current situation in immigration detention, after deeply concerning reports in recent months

Big thanks to our speakers @MordiOfficial, HM Chief Inspector Charlie Taylor + Dr Hindpal Singh Bhui of @HMIPrisonsnews and chair @BellRibeiroAddy

[Lloyds Bank Foundation @LBFEW]

Really eye opening testimony from @MordiOfficial + others with experience of the UK's immigration detention system and also @HMIPrisonsnews today. Well done to our friends @Medical_Justice for organising it + @BellRibeiroAddy for keeping up the pressure on Ministers for reform

❓Did you know that most people seeking asylum are BANNED from working?

Talented, experienced and skilled people trapped in unemployment by a senseless ban.

The #LiftTheBan coalition visited Parliament with a loud and clear message: We are ready to work! Lift the ban, NOW!

[JCWI (Follow us on Bluesky @jcwi-uk.bsky.social) @JCWI_UK]

NO - more criminalisation is NOT the answer. If the government really wanted to save lives, then instead of spending millions on security (and glossy videos justifying it) they would just provide safe routes.

🚨 Children who come to the UK alone in hope of finding protection need specialist support. But our new report w/ the Refugee & Migrant Children's Consortium shows that hundreds continue to be wrongly treated as adults & placed at risk in adult accommodation or criminalised 1/3🧵

Last week I visited a Palestinian village that settlers had destroyed in the south Hebron Hills, next to Massafer Yatta where @basel_adra lives. I had a group of 11 rabbis with me.

A violent settler tried to ram his pickup truck into the rabbis.

Total impunity is a policy.

Basel now has an Oscar, but barely a home. Yuval has an Oscar, but will continue to be alienated by his own society as he fights.

This is the political story of our time. Of this land. It’s the only thing that matters

New report from Prisons Inspector on UK Short Term holding facilities in Northern France makes for shocking reading on the treatment of people held at border facilities, especially the appalling treatment of children.

We were delighted to join our friends from across the UK today at Parliament with one strong message to the Government:

🗣️ Give people seeking asylum the right to work, now.

We’re extremely proud members of the #LiftTheBan coalition! ✊❤️

And what the footage (of course) doesn't show you are the people that are subjected to force to get on those buses/flights. Waist restraint belts, handcuffs and leg restraints are all techniques used to force vulnerable people onto these flights.

[Women for Refugee Women 🧡 @4refugeewomen]

Yesterday, the Government posted shocking footage of people being taken from detention centres - by force - and put on deportation flights.

This act of performative cruelty gives rise to racism and could have dangerous consequences.

[Refugee Council 🧡 @refugeecouncil]

Preventing refugees from being granted British citizenship because they were forced to take a dangerous journey to find safety here, flies in the face of reason.

We urge Ministers to urgently reconsider.

How long do we have to endure this.? We need peace in DRC

Our film is nominated for an Oscar, the community it is about is now under attack by settlers.

"My little siblings were scared, hugging me, and trembling with terror," Fadi, 13, said after Israeli soldiers used him and his siblings as human shields in Gaza. "I tried to calm them down and told them 'Nothing will happen,' but inside, I was afraid we were going to die."

Palestinians will be free, Israelis will be secure. Everybody from the river to the sea will enjoy equal human rights only when we bring down the occupation, end the conflict and achieve a lasting peace.
