#HotPoets show at the Southbank last night, gutted to not be able to make it in person but brilliant to see the pics and great to be part of it through our Hotpoets films.

Tickets for the screening of short film Dear Home Office - produced as part of Subject to Scrutiny with MigrationMobilitiesUoB, BristolRefugeeRights, University of Bristol and Brigstow Institute - are now on sale. wshd.to/dearhomeoffice

A film we helped produce, ‘Dear Home Office’ is going to be released in June. Proud to have been part of this film about the asylum system through the voices and experience of asylum seekers and refugees. #shortfilm #RefugeesWelcome #Refugees watershed.co.uk/whatson/11335/…

ACORN the union will be on the picket lines all week in support of our RMT brother and sisters on the railway. An injury to one is an injury to all. A win for rail workers is a blow struck for all workers fighting for decent conditions. #ToryRailStrikes Victory to the RMT!

So great when you’re working on a film for a few years and you finish it and able to put it out there and kick start the conversations that it was intended to catalyse. Foregrounding refugee voices and their treatment by the Home Office and focus on the structures of racism.

Quick thing jon hardy made yesterday in support of the RMT #RailStrikes. #JoinAUnion #SolidarityRMT

Enough is enough. It's time to turn anger into action. Join the campaign to fight the cost-of-living crisis. wesayenough.co.uk
