This is a view shared by people who know no one going through the stress of the immigration system. People who want to make their lives here but are repeatedly being discriminated against by hypocrites with bad data spouting bile. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

These McLaren pitstops are killing me. Clearly the wheel guns are not working right and the guys can only work with the equipment they're given but slow stops are becoming common and it's impacting on track.

All I see is appeasement and I feel like I am losing my mind.

UK anti-slavery commissioner condemns Shabana Mahmood’s asylum comments Home secretary’s remarks about ‘vexatious’ claims will have real-life impact on trafficking victims, says Eleanor Lyons

Glad this has been called out by the IASC. Seems a purposeful lack of understanding of the complexities of the asylum process and the NRM. It also disregards the experiences of survivors. Distrust in the system is already rife, this rhetoric isn't going to help.

The current discourse goes to show many folx don't know/understand/want to learn about the realities of our immigration system. Whether that's someone applying for prohibitively expensive visas or the process of how you can claim asylum in this country. Its honestly depressing.

Protests against migrant hotels. Endless uproar about small boat arrivals. Keir Starmer’s ‘island of strangers’ speech. Here’s a reminder from @ZoeJardiniere.bsky.social of why a more humane approach to immigration is needed.

Across the US and beyond, national security is being used as a cover to criminalise migrants, refugees & trafficked persons. Mass deportations, racial profiling & detention without due process are on the rise, targeting working-class, undocumented communities. Read our statement: bit.ly/3HVRf8J
