We've joined over 150 lawyers, human rights, refugee orgs to call out the increasing threat of the far-right to our safety and the safety of those we work with. We urgently call for an end to the media narrative that is stoking the flames of division. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Permanent settlement in the UK helps people put down roots in communities and fulfil their potential. But Reform don’t want that. Instead, they want to crash the already-struggling economy and tear people’s lives apart by making them "foreigners" forever. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Trump, we don’t want your two cents. His comments, while unsurprising, are dangerous. They come just after his former best mate and billionaire Elon Musk addressed Britain’s largest far-right demo, inciting violence. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is misinformation, pure and simple, from Shabana Mahmood. To grant the injunction the judge had to decide whether the claim was vexatious and he decided that it wasn't. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

With 63 other expert organisations, we’ve written to Government to strongly oppose the sudden reduction in the asylum accommodation move-on period for newly recognised refugees. Read our joint letter in full in @theguardian.com today👇 www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

BREAKING: The first person has been deported under the UK-France one in, one out deal. He was deported for simply trying to claim asylum in the UK in the only way available to him. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump's record on immigration policies in the US - raiding people's homes and workplaces, racially profiling, violently detaining and deporting people en masse - is a chilling warning of where we could be heading if we don't urgently change direction.

Many of those detained under this policy are survivors of torture and trafficking. Most would agree that torture and trafficking survivors should have their cases heard before they are deported. They are entitled to access to justice, just like everyone else. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Feeling Pretty Horrific About Things. The best way to reduce this is to keep me in a constant supply of choc OR donate to @praxisprojects.bsky.social so that we can continue to get our clients out of destitution, off the streets and permanently settled in the UK. They belong, the far-right don't.

Essential reading from @freedomfromtorture.bsky.social on asylum accommodation: "This only ends one way: attacks on people seeking sanctuary only takes us closer to the far-right, putting at risk the rights that protect us all." www.bigissue.com/opinion/asyl...

Reminder, these are people who’ve done nothing but try to claim asylum in the UK in the only way available to them. Deportations are violent and terrifying. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This weekend saw Britain’s largest far-right demonstration with extremist views on full display. Many of us felt unsafe to be in London. The Government’s response has been wholly inadequate. They must condemn these views for what they are, racist and dangerous. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ashley* speaks @theguardian.com about ordeal that is the 10-year route, the same route the Government is now proposing to expand to hundreds of thousands of people. The reality is that the UK's immigration system is deeply damaging to people and their children. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Our hearts are with the families of the four people - two of them children - who died while trying to reach safety in the UK. Increased policing, the suspension of family reunion and the absence of safe routes are forcing people to make deadlier journeys. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Uche, care worker & Praxis campaigner, chats to @theguardian.com about the govt.'s plans to make more people wait longer and pay more in visa fees for settlement. "People say migrants take but we have no recourse to public funds. We are paying for things twice.” www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

"The notion of remigration was abstract, but the right is dragging it towards respectability. If the goal is homogeneous whiteness, they should say it" @jonathanliew.bsky.social latest column serves as an urgent wake up call. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Another heartbreaking yet totally avoidable tragedy. Our thoughts are with their loved ones and refugee communities everywhere. Enough. Human beings will continue to die at the border until our government dismantles its hostile environment and creates safe routes. news.sky.com/story/two-ch...

Yesterday MPs across the UK stood up for migrant rights. In what is now a rarity, MPs spoke passionately about the immense positives migration brings to all our communities. They spoke against the govt.'s plans to force a million plus people to wait 10 yrs for permanent settlement. Just one e.g.👇

After 4 days in post, our new Home Secretary has proposed to: ❌House asylum seekers in military barracks ❌Suspend visas for countries that won’t take back refused asylum seekers ❌Change laws on how the ECHR is implemented in the UK Immigration policy should never come at the cost of human rights.

Did you know that thousands of migrants are being forced to wait over ten years until they can permanently settle in the UK? And if this Government has their way, over a million more people will be trapped in this decade-long wait. Spread the word. Share this video now. youtube.com/shorts/WDuan...

Is it groundhog day? In a desperate race to the bottom, the Government now want to warehouse people seeking safety in the UK on military and industrial sites. These are the exact plans this Government condemned when they were in opposition. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Legal Update: Refugee family reunion: what’s changed, and what it means. The UK Gov has paused refugee family reunion from 4 Sept 2025. Existing cases continue, but new applications must now use strict visa rules creating new barriers for safety and reunion. righttoremain.org.uk/refugee-fami...

This week the Government shut down the refugee family reunion scheme. Joe, legal advisor at Praxis, breaks down what this means and what you'll need to do now if you want to be reunited with your loved ones 👇

More reckless and cruel ideas coming from the Conservatives - nothing but a desperate attempt to stay relevant, and a guaranteed way to wreck the economy all over again. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A coalition of orgs including @rfuk.bsky.social, @migrantvoice.bsky.social, @ramfel.bsky.social, @praxisprojects.bsky.social and @gmiau.bsky.social urges all MPs to participate in the Westminster Hall Debate on 8/9 about gov's plans to extend time needed to reach settlement. Why is this crucial?🧵

In the last week government have announced: -They’re halving the ‘move on period’ for some Refugees, giving them just 28 days to find a home & a job bound to drive a homeless crisis -Slashing refugee family reunion cancelling all applications, driving more into danger

❗ACT NOW At the time of writing, you can still submit refugee family reunion applications. However new applications will not be considered after 3pm on Thursday 4th September. If you're eligible + planned to apply, we urge you to submit an online application as soon as possible, before this time.

NEW: Students to receive a warning message that they will be removed if they overstay their visa. Yesterday it was families. Today it's students. This Government is shutting down the few safe ways to reach the UK and claim asylum. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A reminder that there’s no queue for people who want to claim asylum to join. The only way to do it is to come to the UK first. As the govt slams shut refugee family reunion, one of the only safe ways to reach the UK, what do they expect people to do now? www.bbc.com/news/article...

After years of advocating for family reunification, today Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has suspended all family reunification applications. As she has pointed out many times before, this announcement will drive more people into the arms of smugglers. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

What the Home Secretary used to think about family reunification...

The silence from this Govt. as masked men try to force entry into people's homes is deafening. Asylum seekers in hotels have no other option, and they're being terrorised. Instead of legitimising hatred, the Govt. must provide safe routes & affordable housing. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This undoes one of the only positive things this Govt has done for migrants. It will lead to a surge in hardship and homelessness as we move towards winter. This is not a serious plan to end asylum hotels. It is a kneejerk reaction to political pressure. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

📢 @jdportes.bsky.social "We have yet to hear a Cabinet Minister point out that migrants now fill 1/5 jobs in the UK, that they are more likely to be employed & less likely to claim benefits. Diversity should be our greatest strength, and it is that argument that anti-immigration zealots fear most."

Today we heard Farage’s dystopian vision of a future where British people lose rights in the name of racist, xenophobic policies. But British people don’t want shallow, recycled slogans. They want real solutions - not ideas that wreck the economy & make life worse for people of colour.

Safety measures have become part of the job with migrant and refugee orgs temporarily closing offices or installing safe rooms to protect from the far-right. If you can, show your local migrant charity some solidarity and support right now. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

What today's headlines won't tell you... We are living in a time of unparalleled instability and conflict - there are currently more active conflicts globally than any time since WW2. Small boats are one of the ONLY means to reach the UK for people who are fleeing war and persecution. 1/2

Terrorising residents & stoking tensions in our communities is not the way to end hotels for asylum seekers. We do urgently need a managed end to the use of hotels - and a national housing plan that provides safe and affordable homes for everyone who needs them 1/2 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We stand w/ 200+ orgs rejecting weaponising violence against women & girls for anti-migrant agendas. Govt & media fuel racist narratives pitting survivors & migrants against each other. Falsehoods like these don’t keep women safe, they distract from tackling gender-based violence. t.co/50I5sp1kCI
