Almost 10,000 likes for straight-up lies by Annunziata Rees-Mogg, quote:

"Asylum seekers make up 0.08% of Dorset's population and 44% of alleged sex offences. So unbelievable I had to check. It's true."

It's not true, it's utter garbage.

I'll go through facts and figures. /1

Non-violent direct action has long been used in Britain as a tactic against injustice and war, from the Suffragettes to Greenham Common and opposition to the Iraq war. Conflating direct action with terrorism is a dangerous development & should worry everyone who values democracy.

We must stand united against calls to ban the burka or niqab and stirring up the issue to whip up Islamophobia. Bans in other countries and the discussion in Britain have led to a rise in Islamophobic and misogynistic attacks on Muslim women. Labour must oppose this Islamophobia.

Just a few months ago, the government announced a 6% cut to national adult skills budgets.

Total spending on adult skills and apprenticeships is around 23% below 2009–10 levels.

This is empty rhetoric.

🚨🚨Keir Starmer’s “Island of Strangers” speech announcing the new immigration white paper concedes to Reform UK’s anti-migration agenda. Many of the proposals won’t work & will cost Labour votes. Tell Keir Starmer to stop scapegoating migrants & refugees. Join us tonight ⬇️

[Asylum Matters @AsylumMatters]

There's a post going round here claiming people seeking asylum are 'relaxing by the pool' in taxpayer funded hotels.

That's quite clearly nonsense, but since these sorts of lies keep coming up, perhaps it's worth talking about what life is actually like in these hotels.

There are millions of us that feel this way, don’t forget that. We’re just not represented in our current electoral system

Trade unions helped secure:

• Annual leave
• Sick pay
• A two day weekend
• Maternity leave
• Protection from workplace discrimination
• 8 hour working days
• Redundancy pay
• Health and safety in the workplace
• Workplace pensions

And a lot more.

What a fantastic night for our side! At least 600 mobilised in #Oxford to oppose the threat of the far right targeting Asylum Welcome and a local mosque. Protesters also defended a local refugee hotel. No show from fascists. #standuptoracism #RefugeesWelcome ✊✊🏾✊🏿
