Why Spain is breaking the mold in Europe - choosing regularisation instead of MAGA mass deportations!! Two reasons: morality & pragmatism. 🙏Spain showing us another, better way is possible www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/o...

“While the govt. has still not implemented key lessons from the Windrush lessons learned review, it continues to promote harmful and racist stereotypes that equate migration with criminality. This is unjust, divisive, & deeply damaging.” @minnierahman.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

📢"Creating a poorer, more vulnerable migrant class of workers who have no long-term stake in our society worsens wages and conditions for everyone, and increases resentment towards migrants." @zoejardiniere.bsky.social on what Labour can do to change direction. www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

Zero net migration would shrink the UK economy by 3.6% by 2040. Less growth means higher taxes and weaker public services. For our economy and communities to thrive, we need migration - alongside simple, quick and affordable routes to settlement. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The Govt admits it doesn’t know how many NHS staff will be impacted by settlement changes. What does that mean for NHS waiting times, care for elderly, and patient safety? Pushing ahead without considering the impacts on healthcare is a betrayal to us all. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

We face the same challenges Spain did: a stagnant economy & ageing population. Treating undocumented workers & asylum seekers as people has resulted in higher GDP & record-low unemployment. Spain proved the moral case for migration is also an economic one. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

The Home Secretary is pressing ahead with deportations to Syria despite growing safety fears. People seeking asylum should not be deported to unsafe countries. Far from clearing the asylum backlog, this will trap people in lengthy and costly appeals. www.lbc.co.uk/article/syri...

Harrowing report from @theindependent.bsky.social exposes excessive force used against vulnerable migrants inside Brook House detention centre. The UK remains the only European country to allow indefinite detention. This is a system wholly unfit for purpose. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

We may not have guns but we do have: ⚠️ICE-style raids invading homes and workplaces ⚠️Indefinite detention of women, children and men ⚠️Deportation footage bragged about on TikTok ⚠️Riot police used on peaceful protest ⚠️Politicians calling for mass deportations. This isn’t “just America.”

The government is still abandoning people to street homelessness because of failures in the immigration system. New settlement rules will only widen this failure, trapping even more people in dangerous, life-threatening uncertainty. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

We need your help. The Government is proposing sweeping reforms to settlement for migrants and refugees, including for those already in the country. Add your voice to the public consultation before 12 February, using @praxisprojects.bsky.social's response link 🔗 www.praxis.org.uk/consultation

Horrifying scenes from the US over the weekend show us where rising far-right populism will lead us. 📢"This shocking moment is the outcome of a political, institutional and media environment that is not far off Britain’s." By @nesrinemalik.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

'Our Side of the Story' Created by the Greater Manchester Asylum Hotels Group and Stand & Be Counted Theatre, this short film features people with lived experience of asylum hotels. The group is supported by us, and the film presents a spoken version of a statement they shared a few months ago.

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...

It's hard to see how the Government expects to attract highly skilled workers while rewriting the rules to push out doctors, care workers, engineers - workers from ANY industry - already building lives here. If promises don’t hold, why would anyone trust them? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Yet another act of economic self-sabotage driven by a Government that's got its priorities backwards

"This narrative shift has been stark. It has emboldened the far right to exploit people’s concerns and pushed them to take matters into their own hands." A sobering snapshot of rising toxicity toward migrants and those who support them by @enversol.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A new report finds tougher rules may have wrongly denied support to thousands of modern slavery survivors. Home Office data shows over half of refusals later reviewed were overturned, suggesting many initial decisions were wrong. Essential reporting from @mellino.bsky.social at @tbij.bsky.social

Keir Starmer could not be more detached from reality referring to the period when the Tories left the EU as an "open borders experiment." People have always come to the UK to work, study, and be with family. They pay taxes, exorbitant visa fees, tuition costs, and the NHS surcharge. (1/2)

🚨 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

The Gov's anti-immigration policies not only fuel fear and division - they actively undermine economic stability. The economic pressures exploited to drive anti-immigration sentiment - like stretched public services, low growth & limited opportunities - are set to worsen because of these policies.

Mandatory digital ID was always about supercharging the hostile environment, not real solutions. We're glad to see it dropped. Time to invest in policies that deliver real economic benefits - like investing in our communities and fixing our broken housing system. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

📢“Broadcasting dehumanising footage that frames migrants as criminals does nothing to make ordinary peoples’ lives better. It fuels fear, legitimises racism & makes life more dangerous for migrant communities.” @josephinewy.bsky.social for @the-independent.com www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

More enforcement won’t fix broken policy -which only pushes more people into the shadows. The recent fatal shooting by an ICE officer in the US shows us where we are headed if we continue this hardline enforcement approach. news.sky.com/story/illega...

📢“The pockets of violence, hatred and racism are a small but loud minority." A much-needed story of community and hope, with an important reminder from @minnierahman.bsky.social for @refugeestogether.bsky.social. www.ft.com/content/1d11...

New year, same hostility. Today, new powers come into force subjecting men, women & children to invasive searches - including inside their mouths - to seize their phones. This comes despite a 2022 court ruling that found a similar policy unlawful. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Thank you @carladenyer.bsky.social for all your hard work advocating for migrants and refugees both within Parliament and outside it.

Hundreds of overseas staff working in social care and the NHS travelled to Westminster today to lobby MPs over plans to restrict visa rules for care workers. Follow updates here ⬇️ unsn.uk/3MLAeAz

This Govt's plans to reduce homelessness will fail while their own immigration policies fuel it. Our immigration system makes it too easy for people to lose their homes and too hard to get their lives back. Thanks to the Frontline Network for funding this video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bgjm...

This morning @oliviablakemp.bsky.social explains why government CANNOT achieve aims to end child poverty & homelessness as long as immigrant families are excluded from support❤️ Proposed longer routes to settlement must not be applied retrospectively to migrants who have built lives here!

The rise of the far-right is exactly why we must defend human rights protections - before it’s too late. Starmer's push to hollow out safeguards for victims of torture is not 'in the public interest'. It’s a betrayal of the values Britain claims to stand for. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

Grateful to @theguardian.com for covering the most recent @naccomnetwork.bsky.social data briefing which charts the continued increase in homelessness experienced by refugees, people seeking asylum and other migrants, driven by hostile Government policies.

HOT OFF THE PRESS: Time for Change is here! Sick of the constant demonisation of migrants? Want to see an alternative plan? Our new report by @zoejardiniere.bsky.social outlines 9 steps to a system that delivers dignity for all. Read it here: www.anothereurope.org/time-for-cha...

"Ending the two-child limit is vital, but you cannot end child poverty while excluding children from support because of their parents' immigration status. Every child deserves the same chance to thrive." @josephinewy.bsky.social www.thenational.scot/news/2567585...

Today's Child Poverty Strategy leaves thousands of migrant children - 40% of all children in poverty - out in the cold. Every child deserves the same chance to thrive. Poverty is a political choice. The Govt's failure to act for all children falls short of the scale and urgency of the crisis.

The UK’s migration policies are backfiring - hurting both economic growth and efforts to end homelessness. The OECD says cutting immigration is now “a drag” on the economy, while refugee homelessness has more than doubled in two years. We urgently need policies that value people over politics.

If you're trying to get your head round Mahmood's idiotic "earned settlement" proposals that aim to keep refugees in limbo 20 years, & offer a sliding scale of crulety to all immigrants based on their pay packet, this is a great, clear explainer by @praxisprojects.bsky.social & @gmiau.bsky.social

The number of people migrating to the UK is down, again. Lower migration is bad for our economy, especially our already struggling public services. The economy getting worse means politicians scapegoat and blame migrants and refugees even more. It’s a doom loop where we’re all worse off.

Today’s budget simply doesn’t meet the scale of the challenges facing our country. You can’t build strong public services while proposing migration policies that drive out the people who deliver them. You can’t cut waiting lists without doctors, nurses, carers, & support staff who make the NHS run.

The proposed settlement changes are really difficult to understand and very stressful if you or someone you know is a migrant. Read our explainer below so you can stay up to date with what's happening.

“By rushing through these draconian immigration reforms now – at precisely the same moment the Government proclaims it is investing to end homelessness – we know the very opposite will happen: more people at risk of destitution and even sleeping on the streets." @josephinewy.bsky.social

"Despite their hollow words, this Government is betraying it’s promises to millions of people who have lived and worked here for years. This is a retreat into a smaller, meaner England - one where belonging is rationed, and diversity is punished.” 2/2

“These earned-settlement changes will devastate the lives of people across the UK and are completely at odds with the realities of this country’s economic needs. You cannot talk about growth and belonging while building a two-tier immigration system." @josephinewy.bsky.social, Head of Advocacy 1/2
