🧵This is the biggest attack on the rights of recognised refugees in recent memory & is reminiscent of the worst failed policies of the disastrous last govt. People seeking safety need security in order to start over, but this govt seems to want to forget that there are people at the centre of this.

The discourse seems to have lost some time ago the point that coming without permission if you are a refugee is actually something we are committed under international law to accepting and responding positively to, not something Ministers ahould be rejecting and stoking resentment towards.

Join us tonight at 5pm at Sheffield Town Hall. Change in Iran must come from the Iranian people not from US/Israeli bombs. Hands off Iran. Stop forcing people to become refugees #Iran #IranMassacre

"Britain has been dragged into another war because our Prime Minister would rather appease Donald Trump than stand up for international law. War is not a game. This shameful decision makes Britain complicit in the devastating consequences ahead - and jeopardises the safety of us all" - Jeremy Corbyn

Thinking of the Iranian community in South Yorkshire and their friends and families in Iran. It's for the people of Iran to determine their future not those who would turn their country back into a colony and force more Iranians to become refugees. #IranMassacre #IranWar #Iran

An important reminder that an asylum system that works better for all of us is possible - and it starts with giving people seeking sanctuary the right to work Well done to the amazing Sheffield Lift The Ban group for their brilliant campaigning towards this vital goal 👏

Asylum housing harms health! Right now, people seeking protection are living in hostile housing that harms their health, whilst private companies make bumper profits. Hostile Housing, our new report with @medact.bsky.social, shares the lived realities ⬇️ www.migrantsorganise.org/new-report-h...

🚨 We are horrified by the disturbing footage of the response to peaceful protests in two detention centres against the harmful 'one in, one out' UK-France deal . www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... 1/3

“I’ve not been able to sleep since it started...you know that people are out there protesting and my family might be one of them" Good piece @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social about the hopes and fears Iranians in Sheffield have about #IranUprising2026 www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/fraught-with...

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Doubting survivors and tightening evidence does not strengthen protections for people trapped in modern slavery. It weakens them. Data shows many refusals are overturned on review. Our laws should amplify justice not silence the vulnerable. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

Our government proposes that refugees escaping Iran (who have no safe or formal way to reach the UK at all), should have their status made more precarious, forced for decades to reapply repeatedly for their right to stay, denied reunification with their families #r4today

"Immigration Enforcement" is the practice of creating fear and terror. What migrants and global majority people experience today is on its way to everyone else #ReneeGood #Minneapolis #AbolishICE

“The real reason is to control Palestinian life, to make living impossible, to eventually erase us.” @dianabuttu.bsky.social writes about the Israeli government’s banning of 37 foreign aid groups from operating in Palestine and the lack of international outrage. Read: zeteo.com/p/israel-aid...

For many of those seeking asylum a mobile phone isn't just a lifeline to keep in contact with loved ones, it's an essential resource in accessing information and resources. State mandated theft is another example of Labour's dehumanisation of people seeking safety www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇 1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK 2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves 3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries metro.co.uk/2025/10/29/k...

“The protest was vibrant, peaceful & loud. We made sure that the women imprisoned in Derwentside know that they are not forgotten"Dr Helen Groom @notohassockfield.bsky.social for National Day of Solidarity #MigrationIsLife #NoOneIsIllegal #TheseWallsMustFall #DignityNotDetention @symaag.bsky.social

Despite the documented harms of detention, which the Government has recognised, detention continues to exist. We're campaigning: 1️⃣To shut down Derwentside - the main detention centre for women - and the small units for women at other sites. 5/🧵
