The photos that show what it's really like inside asylum hotels β€” The i Paper Dead rats, poor food and overcrowding - the degrading conditions people face in some asylum hotels

These are the β€œluxury hotels” that right wing is using to mobilise people to hate people seeking protection! apple.news/AqQAAj33BTs2...

Asylum Accommodation Can Be Done Better - Migrants Organise Prison-like hotel asylum accommodation is not an unavoidable response to β€œcrisis,” but a deliberate narrowing of political possibility.

Prison-like asylum accommodations is not an unavoidable response to "crisis", but a deliberate narrowing of political possibility.

There have always been alternatives - they lie in the principles of welcome.

By speaking solely of immigration, politicians and the media mask the underlying conditions that have created a country alienated from itself, argues Editor-in-Chief of Byline Times, Hardeep Matharu

Thousands of rogue bosses get away with not paying tribunal awards The government scheme β€˜enforcing’ money owed to workers has been unsuccessful in a staggering three-quarters of cases

🚨 Our new investigation out today reveals how thousands of people who've taken their bosses to employment tribunals & won, never got paid, even after they approached the government for help.

This has serious implications for the Employment rights bill.

Imagine becoming a human rights barrister, MP and Prime Minister! And now your career and your legacy depend upon deporting a bunch of refugees in the same week you have to host unhinged friend of the world’s worst pedophile, just after you fired his other friend, your ambassador.

if the ministers truly did β€œwhatever it takes” they would do the only thing they did not try and it worked - to welcome refugees as humans and let them rebuild their lives. Shamefully uninformed journalists fail to imagine or mention this positive solution in reporting.

If you want to protest against anything in your community, organise and take it to your town hall or government. Shouting at and setting fire at places where scared and vulnerable black and brown people are forced to stay is not a protest- it is racist attack! Journalists need a reality check too!

This is how normalisied dehumanisation is when it comes to people seeking protection. This BBC news article just glides over the fact that the brand new building was never used due to safety concerns! Never! Yet, no questions asked! ChatGPT has more sense and empathy!

Words are cheap and β€œquiet grief” won’t cut it!
What will make difference?
1. End hostile environment immigration policy,
2. Restore fundamental rights such as right to work for asylum seekers, access to NHS, rights to leave abusive employers for for domestic workers.

Reform wins Runcorn byelection by just six votes in blow to Labour Result will heighten government’s fears it could lose scores of MPs to Nigel Farage’s party at next general election

Labour lost 14,700 people! Sadly lessons will not be learned! They will lose more people by trying to outdo the right wing.

Yvette Cooper reviews right to family life for people who enter UK irregularly Government reviews use of human rights law to argue for people being allowed to stay, which PM called a β€˜loophole’

πŸ—£οΈ πŸ—£οΈ Human rights are NOT a loophole!

We're appalled that PM Keir Starmer, a former human rights lawyer, called vital human rights a "loophole."

Article 8 of the Human Rights Act protects family life and is under attack as the government pushes deportations.

Today we showed up at Serco’s AGM to engage with shareholders and share an important message from someone subjected to 24/7 GPS tagging.

It’s time for Serco and its insurer Aviva to stop profiteering from the abuse of people on the moveβ€” until then, we’ll keep turning up the pressure. ✊🏽πŸ”₯

GPS tagging serves mainly as an easy source of profit for greedy companies!
Not to mention the audacity of Serco - the favourite enforcer has the audacity to bit for the government contract to support victims of trafficking!

The UK government plans to deport our friend, Fatou Tamba, on Tuesday 22 April 2025, on a Royal Air Maroc flight.

We must act urgently to stop this.
