Join me in supporting Rainbow Migration campaign #NoPrideInDetention. In immigration detention #LGBTQI people are isolated in prison-like conditions and at risk of violence and harassment. This must stop. I signed my name here and you should too bit.ly/3zDfKBE

We’re appalled by a proposal to extend Hermitage Quarry in Kent which could destroy at least 50 hectares of irreplaceable ancient woodland. It is the biggest single development threat to ancient woodland in England for decades. buff.ly/434wmgv

If the Govt accepts that #AI may “cause & amplify discrimination that results in... unfairness in the justice system” they must introduce regulation to effectively prevent these harms. Read our recommendations in this #AIregulationwhitepaper response 👇 bit.ly/3Nv5C3c

Great to hear that the precious and beautiful Wistman's Wood will be allowed to regenerate and expand naturally. The benefits of allowing this tiny fragment of Dartmoor woodland to double in size this way are manifold - here's why... 🧵1/3 theguardian.com/environment/20…

An apt illustration to put into context the language used in the UK when speaking about asylum. The UK received around 75,000 asylum applications in 2022. As an example, that is 34,000 less than in Austria - which has a population of 9 million compared to the UK's 67 million.

Brexit has led to EU citizens' right to protest being decimated in the UK. German citizen Marcus Decker is being threatened with deportation following a peaceful protest. His story is proof we urgently need to stand up for our fundamental right to protest. change.org/p/stop-the-dep…

Ministers & their allies have made spurious constitutional arguments about attempts (which we urge must continue) to constrain this bill by expressly making it not require the Government to perpetrate human rights violations. The reality is… 1/5 theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/j…

"With glaring gaps in the safeguards around #AI use, it is more important than ever that steps are taken to protect, not weaken, rights." ✍️ In LegalAction magazine, researcher Rachel Solomon explains how the new #dataprotectionbill fails to rein in automation: lag.org.uk/article/214403…

In light of the increasing use of AI and automation, protections for our rights to privacy and non-discrimination should be strengthened - something the Government's #dataprotectionbill fails to do. Read my thoughts in LegalAction magazine. lag.org.uk/article/214403…
