From suspending student visas to family reunion- this government is entrenching a culture of cruelty.
Solidarity to the Sudanese students fighting to live freely and with dignity, agency and courage. You deserve a life of freedom and safety,.

🧵This is the biggest attack on the rights of recognised refugees in recent memory & is reminiscent of the worst failed policies of the disastrous last govt.
People seeking safety need security in order to start over, but this govt seems to want to forget that there are people at the centre of this.
The discourse seems to have lost some time ago the point that coming without permission if you are a refugee is actually something we are committed under international law to accepting and responding positively to, not something Ministers ahould be rejecting and stoking resentment towards.
Join us tonight at 5pm at Sheffield Town Hall.
Change in Iran must come from the Iranian people not from US/Israeli bombs.
Hands off Iran. Stop forcing people to become refugees

"Britain has been dragged into another war because our Prime Minister would rather appease Donald Trump than stand up for international law. War is not a game. This shameful decision makes Britain complicit in the devastating consequences ahead - and jeopardises the safety of us all" - Jeremy Corbyn
Thinking of the Iranian community in South Yorkshire and their friends and families in Iran.
It's for the people of Iran to determine their future not those who would turn their country back into a colony and force more Iranians to become refugees.

An important reminder that an asylum system that works better for all of us is possible - and it starts with giving people seeking sanctuary the right to work
Well done to the amazing Sheffield Lift The Ban group for their brilliant campaigning towards this vital goal 👏
Asylum housing harms health!
Right now, people seeking protection are living in hostile housing that harms their health, whilst private companies make bumper profits.

🚨 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 .

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
On solidarity trips to Calais and Dunkirk we've met so many Iranian and Kurdish refugees living in enforced squalor, attacked nightly by riot police (funded by £70 million UK taxpayers money). The same people lauded by UK govt as heroes during the 2022/3 Women Life Freedom uprising.
Doubting survivors and tightening evidence does not strengthen protections for people trapped in modern slavery. It weakens them. Data shows many refusals are overturned on review. Our laws should amplify justice not silence the vulnerable. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...
Our government proposes that refugees escaping Iran (who have no safe or formal way to reach the UK at all), should have their status made more precarious, forced for decades to reapply repeatedly for their right to stay, denied reunification with their families #r4today

Outdoor event to remember Renee Good with placards "RIP Renee" and "ICE are terrorists"
"Immigration Enforcement" is the practice of creating fear and terror. What migrants and global majority people experience today is on its way to everyone else

“The real reason is to control Palestinian life, to make living impossible, to eventually erase us.”
@dianabuttu.bsky.social writes about the Israeli government’s banning of 37 foreign aid groups from operating in Palestine and the lack of international outrage.

For many of those seeking asylum a mobile phone isn't just a lifeline to keep in contact with loved ones, it's an essential resource in accessing information and resources. State mandated theft is another example of Labour's dehumanisation of people seeking safety
