📣📣📣 These are the voices you never hear. People seeking safety are trapped in hotel rooms for months, often years. These lengthy stays are ruining people’s lives, whilst lining the pockets of others. #ProfitingfromPeople 👇👇

🤢🤢🤢 In 2024, there were 463 complaints specifically about the meals provided in asylum hotels. Can you guess why? Read more about the reality of hotel life in our new report. #ProfitingfromPeople 👇👇

🚨🚨🚨 Our new report on hotel accommodation drops today. These hotels are not 5*. Here's the proof. Relying on testimony from clients, photos & medical evidence, you can now see the awful reality of hotel life. More updates throughout the day so watch this space. www.ramfel.org.uk/asylum-hotel...

Advicenow has joined 291 charities & legal bodies in a powerful statement in support of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The ECHR is a vital tool for democracy, enabling ordinary people to hold public bodies accountable for failures (like Hillsborough and Windrush). Let’s defend it.

'You've got to treat children equally… You don't tell a child who's the third child, you're gonna have half the time at school. You don't tell them that the fourth child is going to have a third of the time.' - Gordon Brown on scrapping the two-child limit for all kids.

It’s just over two weeks now till the budget. Every night, parents in poverty are lying in bed, unable to sleep, worrying about how to pay essential bills. This can and must be changed. Ending the two-child limit & benefit cap is the right (indeed only) place to start m.youtube.com/watch?v=94fq...
