Thank you to @manchestereveningnews.co.uk for covering the statement and helping to spread their message even further.

Andy Burnham said: β€œI think we all should have concerns about the amount of money going into this poorly managed system and the profits made out of it.”

We couldn’t agree more.

Anyone: Why are there suddenly so many AHDH diagnoses?

What I saw at Saturday’s rally was racism, pure and simple. Labour won’t tackle it until we can call it what it is | Diane Abbott Silence about the bigotry inherent in events like Tommy Robinson’s march will be seen by the thugs as tacit approval of their message, says Labour MP Diane Abbott

This weekend saw Britain’s largest far-right demonstration with extremist views on full display. Many of us felt unsafe to be in London.

The Government’s response has been wholly inadequate. They must condemn these views for what they are, racist and dangerous.

Barnardo's response to the suspension of refugee family reunion applications We are deeply concerned by this week’s announcement of the suspension of the family reunification route, which will only make it harder for children to reunite with their parents in the UK.

Family unity is vital for children’s wellbeing. While we welcome the prioritisation of families in the UK-France agreement, safe and regular routes for unaccompanied children remain urgently needed. Read more: www.barnardos.org.uk/news/respons...

Bordering social reproduction: Rachel Rosen & Eve Dickson published this important book with @manchesterup.bsky.social spotlighting how UK immigration control reaches inside families via #NRPF policies and drawing attention to how migrant mothers and children make lives in the shadows

Does anyone else find it crazy that you can walk into a bookshop and be charged Β£9.99 for a paperback novel that took the author a year to complete, but Β£17.99 for a completely blank notebook?

🚨 Thousands of trafficking survivors continue to be denied permission to stay in the UK despite their critical need for safety and support β€” a new report by @helenbamber.bsky.social, ATLEU & @ecpatuk.bsky.social reveals.

Instead survivors are left in fear and at risk of further exploitation. 🧡1/3

Do policy makers have any idea what their policies do to people’s lives?

Spouting about social cohesion while proposing to put millions more people into situations like Nish’s suggests… not?

On #InternationalDayofFamilies, we’re celebrating Article 8 of the Human Rights Act which protects our right to private and family life.

It has helped survivors of torture and trafficking reunite or remain with their family in the UK.

Immigration white paper: Who cares? Another day, another overhaul of the immigration rules (sigh).

Pandering to Reform over care workers is grubby and cheap.

Care homes are reliant on overseas staff. Without them, many will need to close their doors, leaving families and communities to suffer the consequences.

Calls for Home Office to protect asylum seekers after accommodation violence Exclusive: NGOs say safeguarding policies need improving, as victims tell of multiple assaults and incidents of race hate

There absolutely needs to be more protection for people seeking asylum in general, but especially Home Office accommodation. It would also be helped if the media as a whole stopped broadcasting every single location, and painting a target on people's backs.
