This is appalling news from UK. Epping in Essex is a mostly White flight (from East London) right wing area. It has elected openly Neo Nazi BNP councilors in the past.

Solidarity with NUH Health Care Assistants striking for fair back pay after years of working above their grade, including during the pandemic.

I would urge NUH leaders to return to the table and settle this dispute with staff who are predominantly low-paid, part-time women.

Almost 20,000 asylum seekers in 6 months proves a crucial point Despite the latest big scary number, this is not a new phenomenon.

Me for Metro: The crucial point is deterrence & border violence has never & will never work

We need safe routes & the right to work legally for asylum seekers - IT IS SCREAMINGLY OBVIOUS

But pressure might be working, we must press harder than ever for a humane policy๐Ÿ’ช
