From The Guardian: I warned ministers about our disgraceful UK detention centres. Their solution? Stop the inspections | David Neal ift.tt/TF4MQYK

Hate public speaking. Love working with the lovely FLEX team (sorry about the side eye Peter!) congratulations on 10 years of vital work!

Incredible event by Shpresa Programme and MiCLU on the plight of Albanian asylum seekers last night. Powerful words from the young champions and glimmers of hope from the legal team.

Come and work in our wonderful legal team. A great way to gain some/build on your legal experience in a genuinely welcoming and supportive environment 🧡

The person directly responsible for creating a refugee homelessness crisis by implementing procedures giving as little as 7 days eviction notice to refugees is now calling homelessness a ‘lifestyle choice’.

Sleeping on the streets is NOT a lifestyle choice. We don’t have nearly enough affordable homes, rents are soaring and this is leaving people destitute and forced to sleep rough. This is a consequence of poverty. And poverty in this country has been exacerbated by policy choices

My least favourite bit of rhetorical gaslighting is when a politician says ‘and most decent people agree’ after something totally not decent, to shepherd anyone who sees themselves as decent into a position that is inhumane. Yes I am talking about Suella Braverman.

BREAKING 🚨We are delighted that the Supreme Court has found that Rwanda is not a safe country for people seeking asylum and that no-one should be sent there! 🥳 1/3

"The controversial Wethersfield site is in the constituency of the home secretary, James Cleverly🇬🇧, who said earlier this year in a social media post that the site was not “appropriate”." Our report in The Guardian today: theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/d…

Devastating but wholly unsurprising outcomes from this piece of work. Humane community based asylum accommodation has been needed for too long. End the use of these “open prisons” now

The suicides of two Albanians seeking asylum in Brook House and on Bibby Stockholm calls into question govt policy and lack of protection for vulnerable individuals. This is a vital briefing on the discrimination that Albanians are facing across our immigration system 👇

Along with 60+ charities, we urge the govt to urgently create a visa scheme for Palestinians trapped in Gaza, who have family in the UK, to seek sanctuary here until it is safe for them to return. Existing immigration routes are wholly insufficient. 1/2 theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

Rishi Sunak shouting over a protestor playing THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER in the pouring rain is peak Britain. 10/10.

purdah on the dance floor time 💃

Bart taking his role as best #dogsatpollingstations very seriously. He’s barking “don’t forget your ID and get the tories out” #GE24

Far-right violence hasn’t come out of nowhere. It is the result of anti-migrant rhetoric from mainstream politicians who scapegoat refugees. We are an anti-racist movement that believes in a more inclusive world. We defeated the far right before. We will defeat them again.

No idea how yesterday happened. None at all.

Everyone's timeline needs a cleanse and it doesn't get cleansier than Snoop Dogg dancing for a horse at the Olympics:

Walthamstow said no to racism
