My piece of the Big Issue on why The Labour Party needs to change tack before it sinks on small boats policies. Talking tough didn't work for Sunak and it won't work for Starmer. We need policies which focus on protection not further enforcement. bigissue.com/opinion/labour…

This sunday we enjoyed some sun, sea, and sand on the south coast. With just a little painting thrown in! Great to bump into our friends Babylon project while there. #RefugeesWelcome

This appalling loss of life was preventable. The only way to save lives is via safe routes for people to reach family, safety & the chance to rebuild. Without political will, more deaths in the Channel are inevitable We need a fair new plan for refugees bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn9l…

Until we open safe, legal routes for asylum seekers, people will continue to risk their lives at sea or in the back of trucks in the hands of traffickers and criminal gangs Today's deaths in the channel are not a tragic accident - they are a political choice #saferoutesnow

Voting to scrap the two-child benefit cap and lift 330,000 kids out of poverty = Labour whip withdrawn Renting out properties that have mould and ant infestations, with tenants threatened with eviction if they complained or claimed housing benefits = Labour whip intact 🤔

Video reconstruction of how Israeli troops killed a young Palestinian boy in Gaza for no reason, then killed six of his family members as they returned from a cemetery to bury him, holding a white flag. Their remains were bulldozed into a pile of garbage. trib.al/9wf8crj

The Home Office’s chaos even under a new government knows no bounds. Today a vulnerable asylum-seeking woman with her new baby travels 4 hours from London to Cardiff for her asylum interview. As she arrives into Cardiff, Home Office call her: “actually the interview is cancelled”

Motion passed: The atrocities being carried out by the Israeli state, recognised as apartheid and genocide.

“We went to sleep dressed, with our backpacks ready with all our documents, in case we had to leave” Huge thanks to London Review of Books & taran khan for such a compassionate piece on the impact of the recent racist violence on our community #refugeeswelcome lrb.co.uk/blog/2024/sept…

See, it just says so much about the government’s direction of travel that the people it’s consulted on small boat crossings are law enforcement officials & the anti-immigration far right, rather than anyone who might offer policy proposals based on humanity & inclusion

Huge thanks to Epping Forest Heritage Trust and Rabbits Road Press for a day of fun, sun, and creativity on Wanstead flats! And of course, no Fences event is complete without a little dancing! #fencesandfrontiers #neverwalkalone

"Nudge has opened my eyes to how powerful everyone can become if we all work together, and help each other. It brings everyone up. It's a rising tide. It's a huge privilege to be able to tell the stories of Locality members. Check out our latest film!

Ethical regeneration is possible. Plymouth's amazing Nudge are all the evidence you need. It's a simple matter of putting the needs of local people over profit. #powerofcommunity Locality #communityownership

I'm just not sure I want my politics to be "grown up" if grown up means taking tips from actual fascists.

Huge thanks to SL.Botanic Institute team for such a fun, nature-filled day! We had an amazing time exploring the beautiful garden, getting our hands dirty in the soil, venturing more deeply into plant life with microscopes! #Refugeeswelcome
