Please @jeremycorbyn stop spreading lies about immigration. There is no evidence that immigration or free movement has reduced wages.

HUGE WIN on Napier Barracks High Court passes a damning verdict that the Government ignored “risks of Covid-19 infection” and that asylum seekers were unlawfully detained. There is no place for these sites in our communities. It’s time to #closethecamps .

For months in 2020, the Home Office secretly seized phones from everyone who crossed the channel via small boat. This left 100s of people unable to access key documents or reach family. This shameful practice has now been found unlawful in the High Court.

Priti Patel’s phone confiscation policy for asylum seekers ‘unlawful’

The phones were taken before the asylum seekers could contact relatives to say they were safe

This is absolutely horrifying. Seasonal workers from Barbados say they were used as 'slave labour' on UK farms. Reports of £6 for a day's work. How can this gov talk about a 'high-wage economy' when its policies are creating more exploitation & modern slavery than ever?

🚨 Huge win! Four asylum seekers have had their 'smuggling' convictions overturned by the Court of Appeal in a pivotal case. The men were jailed for 'assisting unlawful immigration' but judges found 'fundamental' errors, and quashed their convictions.

So courageous of Mo Farah - Hussein Abdi Kahin - to share his story. Reveals his incredible resilience - but also reminds us of how govt's hostile environment forces so many to live under the radar, as they fear the Home Office will treat them worse than their traffickers.

10 years ago today Theresa May first used the term 'hostile environment' to describe her punitive new immigration system plans. She set out to make life unliveable for people who couldn't 'prove' their right to be here. The results have been devastating..🧵

Home Office staff worry they may be asked to act illegally in ‘culture of fear’

Parliament is back today - and so is the new Nationality and Borders Bill. This is a cruel and dangerous Bill that could see refugees - including vulnerable Afghans - criminalised based on their method of flight. We must oppose it at every turn.

This child's death is absolutely heartbreaking, and was utterly avoidable. Govt could have prevented tragedies like this by introducing safe routes to the UK. Instead they've been demonising migrants and playing political football with people's lives.

Last August, Afghanistan fell to the Taliban + our govt promised Afghan refugees a 'warm welcome'. Almost 1 year on it's been nothing but broken promises. Afghans have no way to apply for resettlement, families are stuck in hotels. 1 in 4 forced to cross the channel are Afghan.
