MPs warned the Immigration and Asylum Bill is "unsafe and unworkable" and challenged the rise of far-right politics. The answer to the far right isn't to copy its politics. Scrap the bill.

Prime-Minister-in-waiting Andy Burnham faces a choice. He can double down on failed policies or choose a different path, a path that rejects far-right narratives and confronts the real issues affecting people’s lives. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

"Nearly 80 Labour MPs have signed a private letter urging Andy Burnham to retreat on Shabana Mahmood’s controversial immigration reforms" Andy Burnham must change course, that starts with binning the disastrous earned settlement plans. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

"Instead of fixing a dysfunctional asylum system, the Government is making it even more dangerous. Handing life-and-death asylum decisions to members of the public is a reckless gamble with human lives." @josephinewy.bsky.social Head of Advocacy at Praxis www.thenational.scot/news/2624151...

How to make an already dysfunctional, harmful system even more so - get members of the public in to make life and death decisions about asylum cases. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Military bases are not safe or appropriate places for asylum seekers. They pose serious health risks while preventing social cohesion within local communities. Instead the Govt should house people safely within communities & allow them to work & rebuild their lives. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Migrant justice is climate justice.⁠ ⁠ Heatwaves disproportionately hit people living in poverty, unsuitable housing, or sleeping on the streets – and migrant communities and people of colour are overrepresented in these groups.⁠ ⁠ Extreme temperatures are dangerous. ⁠1/3

Thinking of @praxisprojects.bsky.social service users who live in unsuitable housing, struggle with destitution and poverty, who are at risk of homelessness or rough sleeping. Extreme temperatures are unmanageable in these conditions and it's dangerous/scary. Migrant justice is climate justice.

Shabana Mahmood's cruel plan to make refugee status temporary - a policy endorsed by far-right extremist Tommy Robinson - is facing a vital legal challenge from @asylumaid.bsky.social. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Yet more evidence that the slogan politics of smash the gangs is exactly that - just a slogan. It doesn't stop irregular crossings, it just makes them more dangerous. To prevent further loss of life in the Channel, the next Prime Minister must open safe routes now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What does it take to bring 500+ people to Parliament from across the UK and secure meetings with around 100 MPs? Ella, Campaigns Coordinator at Praxis, shares the story behind the mass lobby on the Government's earned settlement proposals & the lessons learnt. www.praxis.org.uk/news/how-we-...

Instead of the change we were promised, Keir Starmer's Govt. continued the failed politics of hostility - lifting ideas straight from the far-right’s playbook. Whoever is the next Prime Minister, it’s not too late to stop demonising migrants and build an economy that works for all ordinary people.

Andy Burnham has been elected as MP of Makerfield with a resounding result. This is a huge signal for Labour to change course on migration, before far-right populism becomes further entrenched in British politics.

British taxpayer money is being used in France to water cannon people seeking asylum - a violent practice banned in Great Britain. This is absolutely sickening. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Good news! We were successful in a permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal about a client's asylum claim. They are really happy and it means their rights are protected. Donate to help fund free legal advice: www.praxis.org.uk?form=donate

"Ordinary people from every background, community and colour are carrying out thousands of acts of care and repair, looking after people they do not know, and showing clearly that none of this is in their name." www.opendemocracy.net/far-right-vi...

"We shouldn't rip up the rules halfway through – taking retrospective action on people who are taxpayers, who are making a contribution, who are part of our society looking after our most vulnerable...It's unfair, it's un-British to do so." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Emergency services told them it was too dangerous for them to attempt to leave, suggesting they put on their care worker uniforms in case that helped placate any rioters who broke in." Read the experience of Sumayah Nakazibwe & Stella Ariokot trapped by rioters. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The scenes from Belfast last night are horrifying. Our thoughts remain with the victim of the knife attack, and with all those who have since been subjected to violence, intimidation, and fear.

MPs warn the asylum system needs a complete overhaul - we agree. Right now, the asylum system chases headlines with cruel gimmicks & near-constant policy change. We need a system that treats people with dignity and enables them to move forward with their lives here. www.lbc.co.uk/article/asyl...

This Government says it wants to end child poverty. So why is it introducing policies that will push more children into it? If the Government is serious about ending child poverty, it must scrap the earned settlement proposals.

Yesterday, our Head of Advocacy, @josephinewy.bsky.social, gave oral evidence as part of the inquiry “Realising potential: delivering the child poverty strategy". Our message was unequivocal: the Government’s current plans will not materially reduce poverty for migrant children.

Our thoughts are with Henry Nowak’s family following the tragic loss of his life. In a desperate and dangerous move, Nigel Farage is using the fatal stabbing of Henry Nowak to incite race riots in the UK.

Now that’s what people power stopping hate and bringing hope looks like! ✨🌈 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/30/durham-pride-trade-unions-beat-reform-funding-axe

🚨 High court rules room-sharing for survivors of torture is unlawful. For years, we've flagged the harm caused by room-sharing in large sites. Our doctors have repeatedly seen patients retraumatised. It's time the UK Government took medical advice seriously. #CommunitiesNotCamps

Billionaire wealth has grown to £784 billion, while 1 in 3 children live in poverty. And they want you to think that immigrants are the problem.

Net migration has fallen to its lowest since Covid, yet politicians and media still scapegoat migrants & refugees when they should be fixing the cost of living crisis & inequality. Our communities, public services, & economy would fall apart without migration. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Franciscan Brother and immigration advisor at Praxis has a message for Tommy Robinson.

Saturday's "Unite the Kingdom" rally was full of openly Islamophobic and racist rhetoric. These are not just speeches, they lead to real violence against Muslims and people of colour. The Gov's lack of comment is on this isn't good enough, and only furthers these narratives by not calling them out.

Our exhibition at Rich Mix is opening next week! Still time to sign up for our exciting event programme. richmix.org.uk/events/fragm...

The King’s speech was a chance to change course to one that confronts the cost of living crisis, tackles deepening wealth inequality, and builds a society where everyone belongs, no matter where they were born. 1/3

"Doubling down on policies that mimic the logic of the far right will not restore public confidence, rebuild communities or defeat Reform." @minnierahman.bsky.social reflects on the local election results in @lbc.co.uk www.lbc.co.uk/article/labo...

This is sickening - driven by violent racism and hate. Views like this have no place in our society and demands urgent investigation. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"I see the impact of Reform UK policies on Britain’s growth as, in some ways, akin to the large, adverse impact on the Ugandan economy of the forced expulsions by Idi Amin in the early 1970s." www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Imagine if this was about bin collections instead. This has nothing to do with migrants & everything to do with a party running scared of progressive policies. Instead of hope, they offer blackmail. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Alongside +140 other orgs, we're sounding the alarm over the Government's "sustained attack on children's rights" in their migration plans - from handcuffing children to keeping 90,000 children trapped in poverty. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

"It is the first time such a large Labour-affiliated union is lobbying en masse against a key party policy." Incredible organising from migrant care workers against the the Government's earned settlement proposals. The Home Secretary must listen and stop these harmful plans now.

Absolutely shocking to see the Home Secretary tell protestors to “fuck right off” and joke about tasering and deporting opposition leaders. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

2 in 5 international health workers are considering leaving the UK - many because they no longer feel welcome amid hostile rhetoric. New findings from @unison.org.uk show settlement changes would be a disaster for patients, staff & the British public alike. www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

1 in 50 Londoners are currently living in temporary accommodation. Many without a kitchen, washing machine, or Wi-Fi, for months and often years. With every borough going to election in May, there's a real opportunity to push for change. It’s time to Fix the Five Basics.

The 'earned settlement' changes will only deliver a fraction of claimed savings, according to the Government's own data. This totally undermines the Gov's own rationale for going ahead with the disastrous plans. Thanks to a FOI request by @jdportes.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
