the rwanda act's passage is a stain on the UK's conscience. it will tear people from their communities & deprive them of protection; it usurps the ability of UK courts to scrutinise Govt decisions; & it further carves out from our Human Rights Act, undermining universality.

Here is tomorrow's (4/4/24) front-page from The Independent:

'Aren't Arabs terrified? Don't Arab women weep when their children are bombed?'

Remembering Tony Benn on what would have been his 99th birthday.

This young mother with her seven year old daughter and seven month old baby are now riding the night bus around London to stay warm.

Shocking from Lambeth Council who have a basic duty to make sure residents are housed.

🚨 Human rights organisations have warned about this from the beginning. Using military bases to house people seeking asylum is not a solution.

🪖 Everyone has a right to adequate housing, which does not mean old RAF bases contaminated with ground gases and unexploded ordnance.

The UN security council has finally passed a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

The US abstained but did not veto on this occasion.

A record 142,490 children in England are currently living in temporary accommodation, ITV News Investigations Editor Daniel Hewitt reports

55 children have died whilst homeless in the last 4 years.

55 Children … many of them didn’t even make it to their 1st birthday.

I spoke to The Guardian & made clear that the right to right to protest is a fundamental right & is not conditional on whether the Govt agrees with what you're saying.

This is a significant win for our movement to make stays in temporary accommodation short, safe & healthy, and shows that people power works!
