More chatter about falsehoods on people seeking asylum using hotel pools & getting handed mobiles than the abhorrent truths of their actual experiences. At least 10 assaults a day. That’s how people are treated.

Helen Bamber Foundation 🧡 It's also absolutely true that this all suffering does cost the taxpayer a fortune. We're all paying through the nose for cruelty instead of letting people work, rebuild their lives, and have their claims processed with speed and dignity - which would actually save money.

Helen Bamber Foundation 🧡 People who've fled war and persecution deserve decent homes in communities. They deserve the chance to work, to rebuild their lives with dignity and independence. They deserve more than £8.86 a week to survive on. It's really quite simple.

Tired of hearing the same tired myths about refugees and Channel crossings? 🥱So are we. We’ve fact-checked some of the most common claims — and SPOILER ALERT: the problem isn’t the people seeking safety, it’s the lack of safe routes. 🧵

Though the horrific overcrowding may have improved, Manston still detains hundreds every day and the public has little knowledge of the conditions inside. With an expansion plan in place, we remain concerned about the treatment of people held there: independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

Refugee families already face long waits, harsh rules, and impossible choices. Now, the Government’s new immigration plans risk making it even harder. These changes won’t stop dangerous journeys — they could push more people to take them. Read more: safepassage.org.uk/news/2025/5/20…

🚨French police have tear-gassed migrants at the coast. This inhumane and reprehensible violence is paid for by UK taxes. This does nothing to dissuade people from crossing & merely adds to the violence and harm. People need safe routes now. standard.co.uk/news/politics/…
