My colleagues Helena Wray & Katharine Charley Brexit Couples Project project are looking for people to take part in their research. If you are in a couple trying to navigate the UK's family migration schemes (or know someone who is), this is the research project for you!

Immigration fees, already very high, have gone up again! Since 4th October, a spouse or partner visa application costs £1,846 (up from £1,538, a 20% increase) and that is only the start of what families must pay: gov.uk/government/pub….

Day after day the government is profiteering from separating families of British and settled citizens and keeping children from a parent. Profits, that in any other sector, would be seen as extortionate continue to deny us the human right of being with our loved ones. 🧵
