Please sign the petition, contact your MP. We're really talking about such a small thing for the country, but if it were your family trapped in the living hell in Gaza, it would be absolutely everything. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6485…

Really chuffed my report about abuse in asylum hotels in Liverpool has been shortlisted for best written news story at this year's Amnesty Media Awards. There's so much more to be uncovered from inside those hotels. Glad to have shed light on some of it. theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/m…

🚨The UK is selling arms to Israel. This makes it complicit in the killing of civilians taking place every day in #Gaza. The UK must stop arming Israel immediately and take action for a #CeasefireNOW to get more aid in. Sign the letter: bit.ly/3VwRCeU

All families should be able to reunite & take care of one another. I hate that government actively prevents families from being together - we shouldn’t need any Nationality specific programmes, and it definitely shouldn’t need a petition. But we do & it does. So please sign?

📢Case dismissed. After 7 years of fallacious accusations, the Tribunal of Trapani in Italy dismissed all the allegations against MSF and the other search and rescue NGOs falsely accused of aiding and abetting illegal immigration in the Mediterranean. msf.org/charges-case-a…

Today our thoughts are with the people who came here to seek safety who now live with a new terror. That is what the Rwanda bill boils down to. Performative, useless terror serving as a cynical distraction from the real problems we face. We will fight it with everything we have.

I just emailed AirTanker to tell them to stand on the right side of history and refuse to forcibly fly refugees to Rwanda on behalf of the UK government. We need to act NOW. Will you join me? Freedom from Torture🧡 secure.freedomfromtorture.org/page/147528/ac…

Saturday is a wonderful day for signing a petition, especially one as important as this. 36,000 of you have signed in the day since this was started! I know… petitions… but gov say this is ‘the will of the people’, show them it’s not. change.org/p/stop-the-rwa…

"The Home Office will launch a surprise operation to detain asylum seekers across the UK on Monday in preparation for deportation to Rwanda, weeks earlier than expected" theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…

I've spoken to dozens of people who've been detained by immigration enforcement during these dawn raids. Tactics include a battery ram to break open doors, separating distressed family members, hauling them out in front of their neighbours and friends. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…
