๐ฑ Indigenous leaders at #COP30 are showing what real climate and health leadership looks like.
Those closest to the impact have the solutions โ but too often the least power and resources to adapt.
Our campaign launches Monday.
Itโs time to #RepairNotRetreat.

Single most successful coverage event I've had as press officer @keepournhspublic.bsky.social was presenting our findings from The People's Covid Inquiry - chaired by Michael Mansfield KC.
They reflected what was officially found today. Neither inquiry has the power to prosecute. Mores the pity.

French police to use nets to stop small boats crossing Channel
New tactics to stop boats set to be introduced despite warnings there is โno wayโ to carry out such manoeuvres safely
A bleak week for refugee rights.
On both sides of the Channel.
France will start using nets to 'block the propellors' of small boats.
Amid perilous seas and freezing temperatures, these tactics seem designed to cause deaths.

โMoving illegal migrants into military basesโ
The same bases that saw outbreaks of diphtheria, TB and scabies? Where suicidal ideation and self-harm are common?
Why are you rejoicing in this?
(Plus itโs a dangerous lie to label people in hotels as โillegal migrantsโ)

SO important.
Britain is even more obliged to support refugees due to the havoc it wreaked - and continues to wreak - through its imperial project.
This cannot be left out of the narrative.

Well that's a new one.
We're all too familiar with Western media's persistent use of 'Hamas-run health ministry' over the past two years (to cast doubt over death tolls, legitimise attacks on hospitals etc).
But BBC have even gone with 'Hamas-appointed mayor'.

How can the same Government that shouts from the rooftops about how refugees must 'integrate' then turn around and make refugees โpermanently temporaryโ?
PS โintegrateโ itself is a problematic term. It implies conditional belonging and serves as an internal border.

Never mind the performative cruelty & the stupidity of announcing โchangesโ which arenโt actually changes, there has obviously been no real analysis on how any of this will actually work. People having their status reviewed & potentially revoked every 2.5yrs for up to 20yrs -

Screenshot of a headline reading: "Refugees' jewellery could be seized to pay for asylum costs, says Home Office minister."
This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public wonโt notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country
A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

I truly canโt get over the optics of this.
People fleeing the legacy of Britainโs colonial plunder will have their jewellery and valuables taken upon arrival in the colonial metropole.

UK set to limit refugees to temporary stays
Shabana Mahmood is expected to say the era of permanent protection for refugees is over, in major changes to the UK's asylum and immigration system.
Leaving aside the obvious injustice and abdication of humanitarian responsibilities, it will be interesting to see how racialised this move is.
Will Ukrainian refugees be denied permanent settlement? Or just the 'undesirable' refugees?

Asylum Hotels Report
Our new report, Profiting from People: Inside the UKโs Asylum Hotels , exposes the true horrors that refugees face whilst housed for years on end in asylum hotels. Weโve long known this, and now...
๐จ๐จ๐จ
Our new report on hotel accommodation drops today.
These hotels are not 5*. Here's the proof.
Relying on testimony from clients, photos & medical evidence, you can now see the awful reality of hotel life.
More updates throughout the day so watch this space.

Why are they doing this? To buy the last pieces of Palestinian sovereignty which have resisted erasure."
