We are deeply concerned about this report by @nicolakelly in the The Guardian, which again shows that people seeking asylum are accommodated in prison-like conditions that are cruel, hostile and undignified.

🚨 BREAKING: New research shows that rooftop solar can provide 60% of the solar energy we need. 🏠☀️ Solar on roofs is a no-brainer solution that protects valuable green spaces for nature, wildlife and farming. 🌱✅ It's time for a #RooftopRevolution. 👇 cpre.org.uk/news/rooftops-…

Immigrants are good for our country! High net migration figures out today are brilliant news!❤️ Not one politician out there bashing foreigners today can give a good reason WHY we should want less of them. Rishi Sunak has no idea. What matters is how we treat people. #r4today

A reminder: Small boat crossings make up 6.5% of the anticipated 700,000 net migration figure. 6.5%. Not quite the crisis it's said to be.

What people care about is housing, getting an NHS appt, a school place Govt's own construction board says there is a massive shortfall, people we would need to build houses. Immigration isn't the problem, immigration is the solution to the problem. #PoliticsLive

🚨Judicial Review: Home Office using emergency powers to bypass planning (based on a housing shortage caused by increasing backlog) raises significant concerns. Wider national issues are at stake #AsylumCentre #Wethersfield #Scampton #PlanningRegulations #HumanRights

Home Office is looking at permission use Wethersfield base for three years to house asylum seekers the BBC learnt. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

😡We knew this was coming... 👇Update on BDC website about the base. We have been made aware from the Home Office of their intention to use the site for at least a further three years. braintree.gov.uk/news/article/5… Autumn in North Essex #wethersfield #wrongplanwrongplace #planning

The Home Office has claimed at different stages of legal action over Wethersfield and Scampton that potential homelessness could lead to "illness or injury" and the "loss of human life" Lawyers suggested earlier this year that hotels could run out, but govt is now closing them

Claimants argue there was never a threat of homelessness, illness or death and that there's "no evidence" govt was going to run out of asylum accomodation The Home Office says it doesn't need to provide that evidence or show there weren't other ways of dealing with the issue

Yet more evidence that Home Office has been frequently placing people with mental illness and trauma in Wethersfield. Our doctors have often assessed residents who — even according to the govt's published criteria — should not be in this 'open prison'. 1/2 shorturl.at/dtzY2
