The Nationality & Borders bill is cruel. It will criminalise people just for seeking safety on these shores. 62% of the public believe the UK should welcome refugees - it's time this govt listened. Today the House of Lords must vote to #ProtectNotPunish . Share if you agree.

"I am safe now I am in the UK, but am I really living? Surviving on £40.85 a week isn’t a life. Let me work, let me study, but until then, let me live." The cost of living crisis is affecting us all, but it's battering those in the asylum system.

I struggle to live off just £40.85 a week as an asylum seeker in the UK

The rising cost of living is having a detrimental effect on me. I am safe now I am in the UK, but am I really living?

Rwanda's opposition leader tears the Rwanda scheme apart: "It's unacceptable that a rich democratic country sends refugees to a poor non-democratic country. The UK is the head of the Commonwealth. It's betraying the values that they pledge to everywhere."

‘Everyone knows that we have a dictatorship in Rwanda. That is not a secret’

The British government is betraying the democratic values of the Commonwealth by deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda, the repressive African country’s opposition leader has said.Victoire Ingabire...

Last night our MPs voted on the #AntiRefugeeBill . A majority voted in favour - but it’s not over yet. It’s now heading back to the Lords to finalise in a process called ping-pong. Your MP has the power to change the Bill - call on them to be on the right side of history. 1/2

THIS is people power⚡️ In the last 24 hrs, 4⃣ local councils have made steps to become safe havens for refugees. This is down to a groundswell of support from ordinary people who want their communities to be places of welcome & support for everyone. Meet the councils...🧵

Good to hear Lord Boyce Admiral of the Fleet defend the @RNLI on @BBCRadio4 this morning. Attacks on @RNLI volunteers rescuing people at risk of drowning, regardless of who they are, are simply abhorrent. #TogetherWithRefugees we stand with @RNLI . Great meme from @hopenothate 👇
