‘It’s encouraging Gov recognises transnational repression as a human rights issue, but its response fails to realise the breadth & seriousness of problem. We need a dedicated hotline and clear, time-bound plan for working with the community’- Sara Rydkvist

[Jewish Leadership Council @JLC_uk]

Tommy Robinson is a thug who represents the very worst of Britain. His presence undermines those genuinely working to tackle Islamist extremism and foster community cohesion. Minister Chikli has proven himself to be a Diaspora Minister in name only. In our darkest hour, he has ignored the views of the vast majority of British Jews, who utterly and consistently reject Robinson and everything he stands for.

Gauke sentencing review today comes as 2 in 3 Brits say they want major changes to the criminal justice system. So do proposed reforms address concerns or deepen the public's loss of faith? Explored in new More in Common research ⬇️

But this - gov can and should fix.

Enjoyed #Alterations at @NationalTheatre this evening - a human story told with warmth & humour, that speaks of the post-Windrush migrant experience (without lecturing the audience). Hope members of the @100Windrush network enjoy too

New @BritishFuture research finds 61% of the public would prefer current levels of international student migration to stay the same or increase. Only 27% would reduce or stop student migration, which makes up around 40% of total UK immigration [Thread]
