The Home Secretary just tried to claim 30% of those in the boats are Albanian. Listen carefully - she’s says last year. Either she hasn’t bothered to read her own latest data which shows it’s 1% or yet more evidence she’s struggling to justify the waste of money this policy is..

The irony - what humanity looks like 2023!

Rescue teams of a tourist submersible carrying 4 millionaire and 1 billionaire went missing during a dive to the wreck of the Titanic, and a rescue teams of a refugee boat carrying 800 poor people looking for a better life for their children.

Deeply concerning reports that Manston is again becoming overcrowded.

Last November we witnessed an unfolding humanitarian crisis at the facility.

There were protests on the inside and outside.

#StopTheWaiting and create shorter and more affordable routes to settlement. Because ten years is too long and too costly.

Today, with over 60 other organisations, MPs and academics, we've raised our extreme concerns on the 'Illegal Migration Bill'.

The Bill will deny survivors of slavery help, lock them up in detention and forcibly deport them.

Not in our name.

‘Safe and legal routes’
‘Illegal asylum seekers’
‘Small boat crossings’

Batshittery to fling these reductive descriptions out.
The first DO NOT exist. The UK simply does not do these. The second is not a thing. Seeking asylum is.

The third merely demonises.
Vile vile Tories
