If you are not concerned by the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation because you think it doesn’t impact you, you are wrong.

This is an authoritarian abuse of power by the government & it curtails all of our civil liberties #r4today

On LBC @zoejardiniere.bsky.social lists 3 previous instances where military aircraft have been targeted by campaigners in order to prevent them being used in war crimes, and she describes the govt banning Palestine Action as terrorists as an abuse of state power.

Well said.

Boiling with rage hearing on the radio that Labour is welcoming in Refugee Week with the announcement that instead of asylum hotels they’ll be expanding the

Disastrous
Dehumanising &
MORE EXPENSIVE

β€œMass” accommodation sites at places like ex-army bases.
There are not enough facepalms.

The obvious problem with Starmer's 'island of strangers' immigration speech Far from 'strangers', new statistics show that people seeking safety in the UK have deep roots here, writes Refugee Action's Tim Naor Hilton.

Our CEO on why new Home Office immigration stats make it clear people seeking safety here are not the "strangers" the PM claims: "more than two-thirds (68%) of people who applied for asylum ... were from a country that was directly affected by British colonial rule"

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s β€˜Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening.

That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk.

Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

There is a really key point in this interview with Zoe where she's asked why more cruelty won't stop immigration. Her answer is absolutely accurate:

"Why because in these circumstances migration is life" (not doing so being death).

Cruelty is no deterant. It's just cruelty.

'I'm separated from my one-year-old son due to Home Office visa rule - it's agonising' Leighton Allen was just a month away from being able to bring his baby and partner to the UK - until the rules suddenly changed

It's amazing how many people, including MPs, don't realise just what Minimum Income Requirements mean, and the impact they have on families. More than half the UK population is basically ineligible to be with a foreign born partner, leaving families ripped apart.

Is Europe abandoning Syria AGAIN?
YouTube video by Zoe Gardner Is Europe abandoning Syria AGAIN?

There is a sickness in European culture.

A sickness we have never reconciled. A catch-22 we trap people escaping unimaginable danger in.
And we use them, after they've lost everything, as a lightning rod for our hate.

Will Europe abandon Syria again? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ohsa...

The fall of Bashar al-Assad is undeniably a moment to celebrate, and that's what today should be about, but, big but, as someone who works in/studies displacements there are things which need to be addressed quickly. 1/
