This thread from Shiwon gives a startling insight to how insane our migration system is. What people go through every day, often without support, often frantically trying to meet criteria to reunite with a loved one. It leaves a traumatic legacy on people & it’s so wasteful.

It literally makes no sense at all.

Today Lou Calvey and I will give evidence to the APPG on Refugees about safe routes to the UK (or the lack thereof).
We’ll be speaking alongside people who have been forced to make those journeys & know first hand.

Not sure there’s a link to watch along but I’ll share what I can😊
