At least 160 people have lost their lives in the Mediterranean - just this week - bringing the total, over the past four years, to more than 15, 500. #SafePassageNow #RefugeesWelcome Stats from UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, 12.01.18.

Towards the end of last year, over 10,552 people had been waiting for over 6 months for an initial decision on their asylum claim. Living on little more than £5 a day for a long time can have a serious impact on the physical and mental health of adults and children.

The French Gov.’s newly proposed migrant plan will be less welcoming & more harsh on refugees. In response today 40 NGOs launched a Migration Emergency Meeting in the North of France for a more respectful, united and dignified welcome policy #EGMigrations #MacronCalais

There are legal, economic and moral arguments to treat refugees as people with rights, says @ThangamMP, noting the positive Ugandan model of granting refugees the right to work.

‘UNLAWFUL’ CLOSURE OF DUBS AMENDMENT: PERMISSION TO APPEAL GRANTED Thanks to your support we've won the right to appeal the Home Office decision to relocate only 480 refugee children under the Dubs Amendment. #DubsNow #chooselove crowdjustice.com/dubs-now

We agree Yvette Cooper "The Sandhurst treaty signed last week between Britain & France is a step forward for vulnerable child refugees but it doesn’t go far enough to prevent young people ending up in dangerous conditions in Calais in the first place." buff.ly/2FfMAJf

As we recall one of the darkest hours of human history, we must also reflect on the situation in Europe today. Let us resolve to stand up against racism and bigotry and fight to protect oppressed people across the globe. #holocaustmemorialday2018 #ChooseLove

"I lost my brother-in-law in Calais. Masud was 15 years old. He had been living in the refugee camp for 3 months and was hoping to join me and my wife in London. Instead, he died." Masud died because our Government refused to let him use a legal route buff.ly/2neQElL

5 children who had a legal right to be in the UK have died at the Calais border in the past 2 years. Immediate action is needed to create safe, legal routes and prevent more unnecessary deaths. #DubsNow
