NHS faces migrant staff exodus as workers feel unwelcome in UK Around 43% of international health workers are considering leaving the UK amid tightening visa rules

2 in 5 international health workers are considering leaving the UK - many because they no longer feel welcome amid hostile rhetoric.

1 in 50 Londoners are currently living in temporary accommodation. Many without a kitchen, washing machine, or Wi-Fi, for months and often years.

With every borough going to election in May, there's a real opportunity to push for change.

It’s time to Fix the Five Basics.

Mahmood’s migration changes will deliver fraction of claimed savings, data suggests Exclusive: Analysis of government figures indicates public finances will gain £600m not £10bn if migrants’ access to benefits is reduced

The 'earned settlement' changes will only deliver a fraction of claimed savings, according to the Government's own data.

This totally undermines the Gov's own rationale for going ahead with the disastrous plans.

Home Office expected to close down another 11 asylum hotels The move is part of an attempt to end asylum hotel accommodation altogether

The Home Office is closing down hotels and moving people seeking asylum to warehouses & ex-military sites. This week they are holding an "industry day" for private companies about the £10 billion contract. This is the asylum scandal we should be talking about.

The government must think again on its immigration reforms Our immigration system clearly needs reform. But unfair changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain are the wrong approach.

💬 "Moving to an ‘Earned Settlement’ model, we are taking that stake away. Taking it away from those who have spent years working and contributing to the economy.

We are moving the goalposts, and that is not fair."

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.

Four people die in Channel crossing attempt, French authorities say Rescue efforts remain under way after the incident off the coast of northern France, local media is reporting.

When safe routes are restricted to the point of near non-existence, people fleeing war and persecution are forced into dangerous journeys.

This is not inevitable. It is the result of political choices. And there is a solution: Safe routes save lives.

Three of UK's biggest children's charities demand U-turn on migration crackdown Coram, Barnardo’s and the Children’s Society have written to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood urging her to rethink plans to change indefinite leave to remain (ILR) rules retrospectively

Three of the UK’s largest children’s charities are urging a U-turn on the Government’s earned settlement changes.

Proposed ILR changes would keep 90,000 children trapped in poverty.

Migration policy should help reduce child poverty - not drive it.

Two dead and one missing after trying to cross Channel to UK First fatal incident this year occurred hours after £16.2m ‘stop the boats’ deal agreed between Britain and France

These deaths are tragic, and completely avoidable.

Our thoughts are with their loved ones, and everyone who was on the boat.

Until meaningful safe routes are established, lives will continue to be put at risk.

Safe routes, NOW.

I'm an asylum seeker. I turned down £3,000 from the Home Office to leave the UK Families in asylum hotels will be offered cash to leave the country voluntarily - up to a maximum of £40,000

“International asylum law should be permanent. It is the wrong approach to use money to meddle in processes that are about trying to protect people.” - Antonio, someone supported by Praxis, on his thoughts on Home Office payments to ask asylum seekers to leave the UK.

On Saturday half a million people showed up in London to march against the far-right.

Together, we said NO to the politics of division and hate that scapegoat migrant communities for crises they didn’t create. We’re proud to march for and alongside migrant communities.

'The Government’s earned settlement policy is built on a fiction. It should be scrapped' - LabourList Reports suggest Downing Street is considering transitional protections for migrants already in the UK. If true, that is…

📢"We are telling the workers we need most that Britain is not a serious place to build a career.

Earned settlement is not about cutting immigration. It is about who belongs. The Government should abandon it."

Deaths in the Channel soared after signing of UK-France deal, report warns Exclusive: Deadly incidents have moved closer to the French shore in recent years, new analysis shows

New analysis shows state policies to stop small boat crossings are driving deaths in the Channel.

Border policing doesn’t save lives - it forces people into deadlier routes.

It's clearer than ever: deterrence policies don't work. We must open safe routes now.

Immigration enforcement is far from new, but it has got worse under Labour. There's always a significant degree of racial profiling in raids, along with a routine failure to protect victims of exploitation and modern slavery, favouring Instesd to penalise them.

Doubling down on hardline measures because people oppose them just takes us further in the wrong direction.

With MPs, community groups & the public all raising serious concerns about these immigration plans, the government should be listening - not escalating.

The Govt. hasn’t published its assessment of how its immigration changes will impact the UK, so we did it for them.

Our analysis found 90,000 kids will be locked into prolonged poverty as a result - from a Govt. committed to ending poverty for all children?

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.
