They’ve cancelled family reunion visas, they’ve cut refugee resettlement, built fences, deployed riot police all leading to more refugees being killed. Now water cannons. Obsessed with anti migrant ideology to the point of designing a system to kill. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Happy Kenmure street day ✊

Government are consulting on the physical restraint of children, including handcuffing children who don’t want to let go of their parent’s hands. Follow the link below to read more on this asylummatters.org/2026/05/08/u...

We need to be honest. Today is a worrying day for all who believe in sanctuary and our country's diversity. The results so far aren't today’s only story, nor only a story of today, but the fear many of us are feeling must be acknowledged. We also need to talk about hope and how we keep fighting. 🧵

For years, politicians have insisted that scapegoating people seeking sanctuary & throwing migrant communities under the bus is the only way to win election. Yesterday proved what we already knew to be true: people are far kinder and wiser. Our communities stand together. Politicians: take note.

Take a moment to support & share this petition against government proposals to ambush Refugees & lock them out of settlement. It’s written by refugees, who’ve asked for your support to make this country their home. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...

‘The actual story is people crossing a stretch of deadly sea, in unfit boats, who can’t swim, who’ve never driven a boat before, with life jackets that don’t pass muster’ If we were any sort of civilised country we’d be doing everything we could to save their lives.

P.s. Migrants prove your ‘value’.

Any idea of scrapping of tuition fees is for the birds while government continues an ongoing vendetta against migrants. Universities will struggle to survive the lost revenue from International Students. And that’s parking the fiscal catastrophe fewer Migrant workers pose.

A hotel in Southampton being used to accommodate people seeking asylum has been subjected to an arson attack. Pure racist violence. www.itv.com/news/meridia...

More lives lost including 1 woman & 2 children. Government have just closed refugee family reunion (RFR) safe route. 56% of grants for RFR were children & 37% were women. So the number of women & children crossing, and dying, is going to soar. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

It’s being reported that Government are about to announce the furthering the use of Barracks to warehouse Refugees. Ignoring the findings of the National Audit Office report that these are significantly more expensive than hotels. But that’s just the financial cost www.nao.org.uk/reports/inve...

In the last week government have announced: -They’re halving the ‘move on period’ for some Refugees, giving them just 28 days to find a home & a job bound to drive a homeless crisis -Slashing refugee family reunion cancelling all applications, driving more into danger

‘Starmer plans electronic ID cards for all to help stop UK boat migrants’ I can’t believe this nonsense is back again. A Trojan Horse policy that hoodwinks all of us into accepting deeply problematic ID cards that won’t remotely impact asylum numbers. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

£9.95 a week, that’s how much people in hotels are paid in lieu of working rights. Pathetic posturing. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

How was this allowed to happen? Not only is he an actual Councillor for Reform but he posted a series of anti Refugee, racist dog whistles on to his socials. Each and every asylum decision he made must be reviewed. What a shambles! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Government plans to halve the ‘move on period’ for Refugees, reducing it to 28 days. 28 days to find a job, get a deposit, and find somewhere to live. Thousands of street homeless refugees by the time winter hits. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

‘We are not even beginning to understand what it means to have a serious asylum problem’. She’s 100% correct. We have a very serious asylum policy problem, so let’s talk about that instead of demonising the people enduring it.

Whenever you hear ‘Undocumented illegal men’ always know there’s an extremist agenda at play: - 40% of asylum applicants are women & children -100% of asylum applicants undergo biometric screening & checked on international databases -100% of asylum applicants are lawful

As an immigrant, disinfo like this pisses me off. We don't move here penniless. We can't. EVERY international student brings £150K for tuition fees & living expenses. Then we work hard to make that money back and pay taxes. Moving countries & careers is VERY HARD and we do it and we succeed.

Skegness, one of your absolute finest people right here. Buy her a drink whenever you see her.

Many of us would much rather share our country with people that risked their life to be here, than those who are born here but spend all of their time & energy on resentment, hatred, and conspiring to harm.

The two year anniversary of Wethersfield Asylum Camp. The Labour Party pledged to close it, but current occupancy is higher than it ever, with no signs of the promised closure. #WethersfieldMustClose #CommunitiesNotCamps

Burning effigies of refugees. The impact of the hysterical media obsession with migration and their constant dehumanisation of people displaced.

🚨We need your help People trapped in the Syrian asylum freeze are going to Parliament on Monday. They need your support. There’s a template letter in the tweet below. Just takes a few clicks to send it to your MP & ask them to attend to support Syrians frozen out of asylum.

The Refugee Convention enshrines you may travel by irregular means to seek protection. Put people in a boat by denying them all other means, then punish the survivors by forcing them back. More lives lost, more damage, more legal challenges, still no courage in leadership.

Tomorrow, this thread will be illegal. Defending non-violent activists, who sprayed red paint in an effort to STOP mass death, will be a crime equivalent to supporting neo-Nazi terror groups. That's terrifying. And anyone who cares about asylum rights should be very worried 🧵

She speaks for a Nation!

Taxi boats' pick up migrants in waist-deep water as Channel smugglers switch tactics’ Our policy of border violence is making the journeys so much more dangerous for people. More deaths will come & we’ll still not have any conversations on safe routes. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Unimagining Borders…

The racist violence in Ballymena is devastating. What makes it worse is that we've seen this before. To keep our communities safe, we need politicians to stop the relentless scapegoating of newcomers and show that we are a community of solidarity, not strangers.

A former British soldier trafficking people into the U.K. for them to be swallowed up by organised crime is unhappy about his conviction because so many others are still doing it. A nauseating read. But it does capture a some truths… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

One person dies, 62 rescued in Channel - InfoMigrants Another life lost that won’t make front page news. The 62 survivors include a mum & child with hypothermia. Huge thanks to the RNLI team who helped survivors & took care of the person who was killed. www.infomigrants.net/en/post/6464...

‘France has now agreed that they will intervene in French waters in order to prevent small boats’. ‘Intervene’ how? This sounds an awful lot like we’re sanctioning push backs now.

"People who should have found sanctuary in this country have died by suicide, died from preventable diseases, died because of our hostile border policies. Each one of these deaths is an appalling tragedy that must be acknowledged, mourned, and learned from.’ www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Still the overriding question remains unanswered. *Why* do we want to reduce net immigration?

Also mathematically a silly argument on its own terms - weak economic growth rates could have been weaker still, or even negative, without immigration

Cutting visa access will simply drive more people into dangerous irregular migration. Irregular Migration is a symptom of a restrictive border regime. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction… Will we ever step back & make migration work for everyone?

‘Britains asylum hotel King Billionaire’. Making Big Money from Misery. Interestingly this piece explores the number of people crossing to claim asylum. Even the number of visa applications. And not once does it mention the Tory asylum ban. archive.ph/OIYeP

The same people that idolise Thatcher are the same people blaming Migrants for the cost & scarcity of homes. Someone really needs to explain how Thatcher was the one who commoditised homes…

It’s appalling that we don’t even know how many people have died. They don’t matter enough to even count? Simply; if we truly want to stop deaths at our border, deaths in our asylum system, we’d at least start with collecting information to build policies to prevent it.
