2️⃣ rights violated. ❌ In 1️⃣ fell swoop. Read our statement on the 'earned settlement' proposals ⬇️

Last few days to apply! Help supercharge our movement of welcome in #Manchester ⚡

See, Home Office, lifting the ban isn't hard is it? Now apply this to all people seeking sanctuary, regardless of role. For moral reasons. For economic reasons. #LiftTheBan www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

"police became more aggressive and were pushed to act more decisively to justify the UK funds." UK funds that could be invested in providing social housing for all, upgrading public services and creating safe routes. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

COME JOIN US!

At #UKGlobalHealthSummit today.

Aid conditionality is not novel. It’s one way how the geopolitical west manages populations across the globe. It’s one of the reasons why local grassroots organisers are suspicious of aid.

Fantastic to see @socialistworker.bsky.social cover our campaign against racist NHS visa rules - and feature the words of our very own @iioannou.bsky.social! After months of campaigning, many of the Band 3 MFT nursing assistants won a massive victory... 🧵 socialistworker.co.uk/news/manches...

Our hearts ache for you. Our resolve to undo this cruel rule strengthens. #MothersDay

One of the most grotesque war crimes in modern history And then they bombed the school a second time—killing survivors & rescue workers

Attacks leave dead vs killed

We endorse this demonstration because safe, secure, and genuinely affordable housing is fundamental to health justice. If we are serious about reducing health inequalities and advancing health justice, we must get serious about housing. Brick by brick, home by home, so our health can thrive!

On #InternationalWomensDay, and every day, we stand with refugee women in the UK.

Banned from working, people seeking sanctuary are forced to live on just £1.40 a day. Now, this Government is stripping this meagre support away. Leaving no safety net from poverty.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: PEOPLE POWER WORKS!

The US murders 180 schoolchildren then claims it 'never targets civilians'.

📣📣 1/ We’ve got big news: RAMFEL is now Refugee and Migrant Justice. What started as a small advice service in an East London church has grown into 1 of the UK’s largest providers of immigration advice & a leading national voice standing for the rights of migrants, refugees & people seeking asylum.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Some words I wrote about the Gorton and Denton by-election in my capacity as Comms Lead at @manchestercos.bsky.social 👇

Our statement on the incident at Manchester Central Mosque.

Looking forward to reading this 📚 @themrise.bsky.social

The conversation about housing is all wrong. For decades, governments haven’t built enough social homes. People are struggling. Yet refugees get blamed. Our new video flips the narrative and focuses on the real issue. Watch it. Share it. Let’s change the conversation.

Their entire policy remit is just copying what the US does.

The irony of Yusuf talking about keeping people safe, whilst announcing plans for a UK version of ICE. You know, ICE, the same agency culpable for the deaths of eight people so far this year.

"I will secure our borders and make you feel safe." This mob and 'safe' don't belong in the same sentence. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Ngl, we were ahead of the curve with our statement!

Calling for Ratcliffe to apologise is all well and good. But Starmer needs to look at some of his own rhetoric: 'inward migration exploded' 'a one-nation experiment in open borders' 'incalculable damage' 'economy distorted' This sets the tone.

'Colonised' aside, none of this is any different to what Jim Ratcliffe said. In fact, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was Jim's inspiration.

Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

The other day Manchester United’s co-owner Jim Ratcliffe said the UK had been "colonised by immigrants"….today there’s this billboard outside of Old Trafford 🔥….way to go Manchester 💪!

Riven with paradox. Our reflections on the UK Government's 'earned settlement proposals' ⤵️

These comments are at odds with Manchester's values. As Mancunians, immigration is in our DNA. It's in our diversity, resilience, charisma and colour. We invite Jim to meet with us, learn more about our work, and engage in constructive discussion.

Wrong way round, Jim. Britain’s colonialism destabilised swathes of the globe, forcing people to migrate/flee in massive number. “We are here because you were there.”

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.
