The Government has been feeling the heat recently, and it’s not from the weather. The pressure is on from people up and down the country, including hundreds of MPs, to scrap their cruel “earned” settlement plans.

Urgent storytelling from @sianushka.bsky.social
Pressure is mounting on the Prime Minister - with hundreds of Labour MPs, including Angela Rayner, calling for the proposed settlement changes to be scrapped.
Let's keep the pressure on - sign our open letter to the Home Secretary: act.praxis.org.uk/open-letter-...
Yesterday 100s of people from across the UK came together in Parliament to meet with their MPs about the Govt.'s disastrous earned settlement plans. Together, we shared our concerns directly with 80+ MPs.
A massive thank you to everyone who joined & helped make it happen. This is just the start.
📢"The UK can have a functioning immigration system without abandoning the principle of equal protection under the law."
Our CEO @minnierahman.bsky.social in @lbc.co.uk on the Government's ICE-style asylum reforms this week.

📢"Powerful men are quick to inflame division, but slow to accept accountability for the consequences.
Migration is not an aberration in our history – like colonialism was; it is a constant thread woven through it."

⚠️Our survey reveals 3 in 5 fear family separation under new settlement plans.
@minnierahman.bsky.social: "We all know migrants bring vital skills and experience. The government needs to stop penalising migrant communities and start reflecting that reality.”

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.
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.

@lewisgoodall.com on Tim Davie BBC resignation says it all: "If the BBC will not stand true for a truly radical concept: fearlessly impartial journalism, not fearful management of impartiality, then it will fade away. And it’ll deserve to."
Military sites are unfit to house people fleeing war & persecution.
Falsely sold as 'cost-cutting', these plans come at huge financial & human cost.
Write to your MP - tell them people seeking asylum should be welcomed as our neighbours, not warehoused in camps: actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...
Trust has eroded because successive governments have failed on the cost of living, housing & child poverty crises - not because of our borders.
Politicians have failed to tell the truth about how reliant we are on migration - and how it benefits all of us.

Frontpage of the Guardian today!
Any time a politician says we should leave the ECHR, the very next questions any interviewer should ask are
🚨Which human rights are you willing to lose personally
🚨Which methods of torture are you going to allow people to be sent to face
🚨Which family members would you be willing to lose
#r4today
And why call it 'golden ticket'?
Disgraceful language. These people have lost everything. Should they also lose their spouses and children?
A reminder that last year 4,671 family reunion visas were granted.
4,671.
Does anyone think this number is a major problem for the UK economy and society?
Starmer on Tuesday: "We must stand against racism"
Starmer on Wednesday: "Human rights laws are stopping us sending people to face torture so we need to rethink them."
Labour on Tuesday: "Labour is the party of working people"
Labour on Wednesday: "If your boss mistreats you, tough shit"
🚨 The Government wants to crash the economy.
On the very same day the Prime Minister finally distanced himself from Reform UK’s policies, his own Home Secretary announced proposals that would create a two-tier society.
📢Watch @josephinewy.bsky.social our Head of Advocacy talking on @news.sky.com about why digital ID is a distraction from the real everyday issues people are facing in this country.
NEW: Keir Starmer announces compulsory digital ID cards.
"Far from reducing irregular migration, mandatory digital ID will entrench discrimination, supercharge the hostile environment and create a surveillance state nobody asked for." Josephine, Head of Advocacy

In London, hate will never win.
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.

"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.

Latest campaign from us at Praxis is live! Watch the video and spread the word for shorter, more affordable routes to settlement for everyone.
The fact that an anti-migrant politician, who tells us every single day that he doesn't like immigration, is saying it once again, is not in any way news
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

Prime Minister Keir Starmer is bragging about deporting people. Here's what he could be doing instead...
Today, the government’s ‘one-in, one-out’ pilot comes into force. At the same time, violence and hate towards asylum seekers in the UK is at an all-time high. We’re left wondering - will the government ever learn that deterrence policies do not work? 1/3
Hear from @minnierahman.bsky.social and Mo in this great @newstatesman.com piece highlighting the madness of gov's migration policy: “After a decade of failed deterrence policies, it’s baffling that our political leaders still refuse to accept they don’t work.”

👇"Backlogs caused by poor initial decisions, inefficiencies within the Home Office, as well as the almost complete lack of legal representation for people seeking asylum."
