Greater Manchester Patients Not Passports

PEOPLE POWER WORKS ✊

Big news! @bma.org.uk now advising doctors not to engage with Palantir's NHS data platform! They say there must be a "complete break from Palantir technologies in the NHS", due to the company's track record, e.g. with ICE, and the risk to patient trust. www.bmj.com/content/392/...

But to win, we need even more support.

Raise awareness of this campaign to ensure Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) continues to do the right thing.

OUR CAMPAIGN IS WORKING 🪧

We are delighted to announce that some nursing assistants have had salary increases to bring them in line with the new government thresholds. This means their jobs are safe and they can remain in the UK! 🎉

THIS WOULDN’T HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT YOU. 🧵

To maximise their profits, private companies are delivering a system based on containment not care, harming the health of people seeking asylum.

Enough is enough. It's time to take a stand.

Happy Birthday MO! Thanks for all you do to steer the #PatientsNotPassports movement forward ✊🩺

It’s down to us to take action.

Write to MFT now and call on them to intervene 👉 patientsnotpassports.co.uk/what-do-we-d...

We’re at a loss as to why Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) hasn’t intervened to stop this injustice.

Through their inaction, they are failing to uphold the values of respect, dignity and compassion that the NHS should represent.

WE CAME TO CARE - LET US STAY TO KEEP CARING! 🪧

At a very rainy BMA picket today, raising awareness of the roughly 300 Manchester nurses facing DEPORTATION because their salaries are 63 POUNDS below the new Home Office threshold. 🧵

“We are standing at a crossroads: between a country that chooses fear, and a country that chooses freedom. Between cruelty as government policy—and solidarity as strategy.”🔥

Read our reflections from the 2025 Solidarity Knows No Borders Organising Summit: www.migrantsorganise.org/solidarity-k...

Detention is state violence. It devastates health. It must be abolished.

The National Day of Solidarity is a vital moment for growing the movement, raising awareness and building our collective power.

But the fight for justice continues every single day. #TheseWallsMustFall
