@RobPerroneShow @HighwaysEAST @HertsPolice Whereabouts are you in the queue? It’s dry down the front but it might be more severe weather at the back?

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

Officials at the very top of @UKLabour said stuff like “Abbott is truly repulsive” “Abbott literally makes me sick” and conspired with media against me. Now claiming remarks taken out of context. So let’s have full publication of all communications #LabourLeaks

🚨 We, along with academics and third sector colleagues, have today issued a Statement of Consensus highlighting our collective concerns with recent asylum legislation and jointly recommending proposed changes to the UK's asylum system 🧵1/3

[May Bulman @maybulman]

Last yr @LHreports revealed the UK had turned away hundreds of Afghan commandos paid & trained by Britain

Now with @BBCPanorama we reveal UK Special Forces (UKSF) – the very forces that trained & relied on these Afghans for operation support – had veto power over their cases

81% of new social housing lets go to white British renters.

90% go to UK nationals.

The implication that immigrants "jump" the social housing queue isn’t true, according to the Govt’s own data.

🚨 More than 1,300 asylum-seeking children - some as young as 14 - have been wrongly age-assessed by the Home Office on arrival in the UK and placed in adult hotels or in detention facilities. Many face criminalisation, exploitation and abuse as a result.

🧵 New findings reveal that over an 18-month period, over 1,300 refugee children in the UK were placed in adult settings at risk of abuse due to flawed age assessments. Today’s report from @RefugeeCouncil, @HelenBamber and @Humansforrights highlights the urgent need for change /1

[Refugee Council 🧡 @refugeecouncil]

Freedom of Information requests reveal a staggering truth: in the first half of 2023, nearly 500 refugee children were wrongly placed in adult accommodation. /3

[Refugee Council 🧡 @refugeecouncil]

Refugee children, wrongly placed in adult accommodation, are exposed to severe risks of abuse, trauma, and exploitation. The failure to protect them as children at the border is leading to dangerous and inappropriate placements. /2

[Helen Bamber Foundation 🧡 @HelenBamber]

These new figures show that there continues to be something fundamentally wrong with Home Office decision-making at the border, and hundreds of children are suffering as a result. What we need is urgent change to the flawed policy of officials 'assessing' age on sight. 3/3

[Helen Bamber Foundation 🧡 @HelenBamber]

In the first half of 2023 alone, nearly 500 children — some as young as 14 — were placed in adult accommodation or detention. At least 14 were charged with immigration offences under the Nationality and Borders Act 2022, spending up to 7 months sharing cells in adult prisons. 2/3

🚨BREAKING: Over 18-months, the Home Office wrongly assessed 1,300 children seeking asylum in the UK to be adults. Our new report with @refugeecouncil and @humansforrights reveals the extensive harm caused to child refugees by these flawed decisions. 🧵1/3 https://t.co/Yv0oTicrM3

[Public Law Project @publiclawprojct]

As of today, X-rays can now be used in attempts to verify ages of asylum seeking children - despite many concerns about accuracy, safety, and ethics.

We need a fair & humane system of age assessment that doesn't endanger children.

Very proud to say that the film I co-wrote and directed with Owen Blackhurst is going to be broadcast on @footballontnt this Saturday at 10.30am.

A @MundialMag film in collab with @Wolves Studios, 1967: When LA Wolves Conquered the USA is a story you're all going to love.

[Aaron Walawalkar @AaronWala]

We @LInvestigates have uncovered how HM Coastguard downgraded several 999 calls from migrants pleading for help while crossing the English Channel days before a 2021 mass drowning in which 27 people died, according to internal docs.
