After far-right firebomb attacks on hotels housing asylum seekers in 2022, MPs were explicitly warned against publicly naming hotels. Dangerously irresponsible that this practice has continued, putting lives at risk. It must end.

Attacks on hotels where people seeking safety are left terrorised and re-traumatised is something I never thought we would see in the UK. This moment must mark a turning point, away from the divisive politics, racist rhetoric and demonising language. independent.co.uk/news/uk/islamo…

Manizha Talash was disqualified by the IOC for showing a cape that reads "FREE AFGHAN WOMEN". She's on the EOR (Refugee Olympic Team) because the Taliban regime decimated women's sport - but she can't say that. #Paris2024 #Olympics apnews.com/article/breaki…

Number of UK asylum seekers who died in Home Office care doubles in a year. Force people into warehouses, without the right to work, on less than subsistence income, without a route out, this is the inevitable consequence. Cruelty constructed by design theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

Shameful details that police & Mears evacuated staff, not residents & then, after attack, moved them to a bus on hard shoulder overnight. This would never be contemplated in other emergency relocations eg floods, when emergency shelters spring up. The 'asylum market' is violence.
