This is literally ridiculous. Extending the period to 56 days was the bare minimum and still a tight turnaround. To go back on this is a complete waste of time. Increasing the number of refugees who are made street homeless is an absolute safeguarding risk in this political climate.

Government plans to halve the āmove on periodā for Refugees, reducing it to 28 days. 28 days to find a job, get a deposit, and find somewhere to live. Thousands of street homeless refugees by the time winter hits.

Pride Month is a time of celebration, but it should be a time for protest too. When gay people seeking sanctuary are facing discrimination and dehumanisation, it's clear there's still a huge amount of injustice facing LGBTQIA+ people here in the UK.
