Welcome newcomers to the UK! Whatever your reason for coming, we're glad you're here.
That's always worth saying, but today especially. The latest migration stats are out, which means a day of discussion about numbers, instead of people.
We've got a few issues with that🧵 👇

The Autumn Budget includes much-needed investment in the NHS & our schools as well as a rise in the minimum wage.

But billions in cuts to disability benefits is a return to austerity, on top of the means-testing of winter fuel payments & keeping the cruel two-child benefit cap.

Today we delivered our petition to Downing Street, asking the government to protect against the catastrophic eVisa cliff-edge of 31 December 2024.

The Home Office must put a safety net in place urgently.

Hilary Clinton et al: students don't know what they're protesting about, they don't know the history, they just want to look cool.

Our evening workshop, Stories of Hope #CommonGround brought smiles and hope to the day. We showcased the fantastic work and winner of our photo competition and talked about the importance of celebrating our journeys to the UK.

Lou is on fire here 🔥

It is a lack of access that drives the crisis in irregular entries.

Everyone saying “but if you give ppl safe routes, they’ll come here” need to get a grip on reality THEY ARE HERE ANYWAY.
Just coming in danger & chaos as we handed them to the smugglers.

[Tom Pollard @PollardTom]

The combination of severely insecure work & precarious private rented sector accommodation is toxic for people's health & finances, as well as their ability to plan for the future & improve their circumstances

Really important work from @WorkFoundation https://t.co/8UHduy6acO

Did you love the #StoriesForChange photography exhibition? Maybe you caught a glimpse of it in person at the #CommonGround conference last year, or the #EUCitizensGathering. We are looking to inspire more people to express themselves 🧵

📢BREAKING! More than 76,000 people affected by Home Office immigration database errors, preventing migrants to access jobs and housing.

We've warned about the risk of this happening since the digital-only immigration system was introduced in 2019.

New MSF press release: "With almost 2,200 children, women, & men reported missing or dead in the Central Mediterranean this year, 2023 has already earned the unenviable record of being the deadliest year on this migration route since 2017."
