A heart warming story for troubled times.
Draconian legislation and constant vilification will only serve to strengthen our resolve to support people seeking asylum and refugees.

"The neofascist coup we are witnessing will not be defeated simply by legal challenges in the courts. It will have to be confronted in the streets."
News that refugees who ‘made the dangerous journey would normally be refused citizenship’ is another low from a governemnt losing touch with reality.
How can you penalise people coming through illegal routes when there are no safes routes?
🚨BREAKING: The UK government just made a disastrous move—most people who arrived here through irregular paths will never be allowed to become British citizens. Ever

The #BorderSecurity, #Asylum and #Immigration Bill had its first reading last week - and frankly it's a lot to digest and to be concerned about.
🧵
People seeking asylum and #refugees need access to #SafeRoutes.
Solidarity with migrants everywhere
#NoHumanIsIllegal
Refugees make up less than 1% of the UK population - and guess what: they are not the 1% who drain our resources!
We will be repeating this time and again: seeking asylum is a human right NOT a crime.
Since July there has been a sharp increase in deportations. It will get worse.
We call for an end to #detentions and #deportations
Thank you @APPGRefugees for weighing into this divisive debate and standing in solidarity with people seeking #Asylum & #Refugees
🔊NEW: APPG on Refugees report released today. 16 MPs and Peers have endorsed the findings which recommend smashing the gangs must go hand in hand with improvements to safe and legal routes for refugees to reduce channel deaths.

The new Borders Bill is a shocking piece of legislation that dehumanises migrants and risks playing into the hands of the far-right.
🔴‘Labour’s Borders Bill Is a Gift to the Far-Right That Won’t Stop Boats but Will Cost Lives’
The bill will cause untold human suffering while also still failing to deter irregular migration, argues Nathan Phillips

Today, the Government presents its new Border Security Bill. It said it would be led by evidence and experts - but it seems it has ignored both.
We know these cruel policies don't work - they only cause more deaths, more suffering and more violence.

Incendiary anti-migrant rhetoric and disregard for human rights are firmly back in the White House. The question is - what will the knock on effect be in the UK?
Solidarity w/ migrants has never been more important.
We stand together.

Did you know that around 248 asylum seekers face eviction every week?
Housing can be difficult for us all. But for asylum seekers and torture survivors, it’s a nightmare causing re-traumatisation and severe distress.
Here are some stories that show the reality of housing for asylum seekers behind the headlines.
