Big news! @bma.org.uk now advising doctors not to engage with Palantir's NHS data platform! They say there must be a "complete break from Palantir technologies in the NHS", due to the company's track record, e.g. with ICE, and the risk to patient trust. www.bmj.com/content/392/...

PEOPLE POWER WORKS ✊

Here's another 'fatal error': the UK's border regime, which prioritises deterrence over safe routes. The inquiry fails to mention that.

And delayed medical care means more serious conditions, putting public health at risk and costing the NHS/taxpayer more in the long run. Performative really is the right word.

Our Griff Ferris speaks on the BBC about the waste of public money on private companies that profit from providing inadequate housing for those seeking safety & how this money can go towards improving local council housing to house people seeking asylum in our communities, where they belong.

📢 @andyburnham.bsky.social agrees with us. Why doesn’t MFT? Thanks to everyone who came out on Wednesday to oppose this injustice. But to win, we need even more support. Share this post to raise awareness of the NHS staff facing deportation due to cruel visa rules. 🚨

Hostile Housing 🏠🔒 A privilege to attend this report launch last night! Solidarity to @migrantsorganise.bsky.social, @medact.bsky.social and all the contributors for exposing a system that prioritises containment over care, while private companies profit.

"The same international community that routinely invokes human rights norms, teaches international humanitarian law, and condemns violations elsewhere responds with paralysis – or silence – when these rights are collectively undermined in Gaza." www.thenewhumanitarian.org/opinion/2026...

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza but hasn't been sanctioned by the international community. Let that sink in.

ALERT! 🚨 If you can, make sure you get to this. We can’t stand by as members of our community - and pillars of our health service - are deported. The NHS Trust must act to protect its staff. But so far, they’ve been silent.

🚨ACTION ALERT - MANCHESTER! NHS workers facing deportation are calling a demonstration at the next public meeting of the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT)—and they need your support! 📅 January 28, 1:30 pm 📍Cobbett House, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9WL @medact.bsky.social

BIG WIN for the amazing campaigners working on #NoPalantirInTheNHS 📈 @medact.bsky.social @justtreatment.org @corporatewatch.bsky.social @goodlawproject.bsky.social @migrantsorganise.bsky.social

The Government is introducing the biggest immigration overhaul in 50 years. They want to make settling here harder than ever as part of a broader attack on migrants and refugees. Now, they're asking what YOU think of their plans. Use our guide & speak up today. www.praxis.org.uk/consultation...

This Government cares more about lining private pockets than delivering public housing FOR ALL. Finding a safe home should not be this hard. ⤵️

Amazing 👏 Over 13,000 people have already backed this petition, set up by a group of refugees, demanding the Government scrap abhorrent plans to make people wait 20 years to settle securely in the UK. Add your name now! 👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...

Refugees shouldn't have to wait 20 years to know if they are safe. New rules are leaving families separated and lives in limbo. Join the campaign calling on Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to scrap the 20-year wait. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...

Today we are launching a new open-access database where you can find and browse through refugee-led organisations in Europe. migrationpolicycentre.eu/repository-o...

After dropping the equivalent of six Hiroshimas on Gaza.

In case you need a refresher, the Home Secretary published these plans in November 2025. The plans could see friends and neighbours deported despite living here for years, and a life in limbo for thousands of people who’ve fled violence and torture.

The British, US and EU nations leaderships, love when citizens of their adversaries stand up to government. They just don't like it when citizens of allied nations and here at home, do the same. Then, it’s somehow different.

Who’s with us?

Out today from @hrw.org - new report authored by colleague @lydsg.bsky.social ‘Silencing the Streets’: The Right to Protest Under Attack in the UK www.hrw.org/news/2026/01... "The UK should be protecting the right to protest instead of stripping away people’s rights."

Brutal US sanctions make one thing clear: claims of caring for the citizens of the countries they attack are absolute nonsense. From 1971 to 2021, US/EU economic sanctions caused 5x more deaths than military conflict. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Manchester stands against imperialist attacks on Venezuela ✊

Our director @nickdearden.bsky.social on the US invasion of Venezuela 👇🏽 Around the world, we need to stand against Trump and Trumpism #stoptrump #Venezuela

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

A very long and important THREAD - The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Small but loud and proud group of Palestine solidarity activists protesting Netanyahu’s visit to Surfside, Miami Beach on 12/31. Happy new year and Free Palestine.

He isn't "losing" this money. This is called "paying tax like a responsible citizen and not hiding your money offshore" and we need to start recognising and applauding it.

It takes a village! As of tonight, our caseworkers and wider team at West London Welcome have pulled out all the stops and ensured that the twelve of our refugee community members who were facing homelessness in the run-up to xmas are now safely housed.

Yet what do we get? Temporary refugee status. Family reunion decimated. Asylum support withdrawn. Where’s the accountability? The self-awareness? The reparations?

Absolutely - the Asylum Seeker Memorial Project has done fantastic, heart-breaking work making recording many deaths in the asylum system. But it's appalling that this vital work has been left to journalists and campaigners for so long - it's the Government's duty to track these tragedies.

The Government, as well as leaders of other far-right European governments, sees migrants as less deserving of human rights. This is racism pure and simple. Read the blog and subscribe to our Substack to read our weekly round-up of the latest immigration news: buff.ly/NkwgRSN

On #HumanRightsDay, our human rights lawyer Prime Minister is busy eroding human rights 👇 www.thenational.scot/news/2568613...

Starmer wants to change the ECHR to to defeat "the forces of hate and division". Yet really, he is bowing to the forces of hate and division. The only people who dislike the ECHR are people with contempt for refugees.

This Government cuts aid to people facing catastrophe, yet won’t make billionaires pay their fair share. Make it make sense. It’s time for #RepairNotRetreat 👇

Colonial powers destabilise swathes of the world, then turn their backs on those uprooted. This is the outcome 👇

They ban people seeking sanctuary from working. And then say this.

But doesn't welcome people forced to flee conflict. Hence making them wait 20 years before even having a chance of settlement.

‼️ The 16 countries worst hit by food crises spend nearly twice as much on debt as on health. This sickening statistic lays bare the injustice at the heart of the system. That's why we're calling for #RepairNotRetreat. ⤵️

Whilst mainstream media looks the other way, @scotnational.bsky.social is leading the way.

@goodlawproject.bsky.social and @justtreatment.org set up a tool to help us check whether our local NHS trusts are adopting Palantir's software and, if so, to send an email calling on them to reject its use. Let's start emailing! notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-tar...

Asylum is about protecting people. But the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Act, which received royal assent this week, treats asylum as a border security issue. It continues the trend of criminalising people seeking sanctuary. It builds walls against refugees. We need something different.
