“Centralising this data into a single tool for ‘relentless’ deportations would import an American model that strips away our fundamental rights” – Duncan McCann

Four people dead. 42 more people who've survived but now have to live with the trauma and terror of a near-death boat sinking.
All completely avoidable.
Our Government chose this. They can chose differently. Safe routes save lives.
www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
"All of these deaths are preventable through the creation of safe routes.
"We're sending hundreds of millions of pounds to France to fund the policing operation there, and this policing operation includes the snatching of life vests from people.
Gentle reminder: Women’s rights are human rights!
Through research, advocacy and campaigning, Amnesty International pressures the people in power to respect women’s rights.
Israel continues to commit genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, enabled by the global political economy.
Time for the EU to #PullThePlug

The latest immigration statistics are OUT
Immigration is once again DOWN
… but I don’t know who exactly is going to be happy about it🤷♀️
Since the ceasefire agreement on Oct. 10, 2025, the #GazaStrip is divided by a dangerous, ambiguous and ever-expanding “yellow line” controlled by the Israeli military. One side of the line is under Israeli military control pushing people of #Gaza into the remaining 42 per cent.
Three years ago, at least 94 people, including 35 children, died near Italy in what is known as the Cutro shipwreck.
Humane and rational migration policies are possible, and there is now a rare chance for accountability.

Under Starmer, recognised refugees can no longer reunite with their children.
Recognised refugees.
Denied the right to reunite with their children.
It’s diabolical. Worse than anything the Tories did. & no, the racists are not & never will be satisfied.
So yes, he’s hated.
This is what hope looks like.

Image of a Jewish News article that headline reads: Government to revisit paused Israel arms licenses after Phase Two of Gaza ceasefire
The UK government signalling they may unblock arms sales to Israel is deeply troubling.
Let’s not be fooled by talk of “ceasefires” or “peace.” Israel’s genocide in Gaza has not stopped. Killings have continued. The illegal blockade remains as does the system of apartheid.
A photo of Hind Rajab with a mortarboard hat on pretending to be graduating from university. Writing over the photo says: Justice for Hind Rajab.
Two years ago today, Hind Rajab was killed by Israeli forces. She was five years old.
On 29th January 2024, Hind and her relatives were fired on by an Israeli tank when trying to flee to safety. Everyone in the vehicle was killed by the initial attack except Hind and her 15-year-old cousin, Layan.
Thank you to the many artists - including Olivia Dean, Billie Eilish and Bad Bunny - for using their acceptance speeches at the Grammys to reject the rise in anti-immigration narratives and policies peddled by those in the media and in power.
Image of a palestine solidarity march in front of the UK parliament with copy that reads: defend our right to protest. Join the lobby of parliament 17th March 2025.
Our right to protest must be defended.
Please join Amnesty UK, Palestine Solidarity Campaign and many other groups to defend our right to protest.
The ICJ is yet to issue a ruling on South Africa’s allegation that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. Amnesty, among others, has concluded genocide is taking place. The UK government, as a party to the Genocide Convention, is complicit in failing to do all it could to stop this genocide.
MSF denounces restrictions on humanitarian access imposed by #SouthSudan's government in parts of Jonglei state.
These restrictions block medical aid from reaching communities.
As of Jan. 29, at least 23 critically ill patients urgently need referrals.

As always, sensible talking from Zoe Gardner
They need food.
They need medicine.
They need shelter.
They need water.
They need education.
They need the very basics.
They need peace.
High Commissioner @filippograndi.unhcr.org's reflections from Sudan.
Human rights were built for hard times, not rewrites when it suits the Government.
Pushing to water down the European Convention on Human Rights on International Human Rights Day is a moral retreat, not a solution.

In October 2025, Palestinians in the #WestBank faced over 260 attacks by settlers. This is the highest number of attacks recorded in one month in 20 years.
The violence is not only physical but also causing deep psychological harm.
Watch Abu Sari, a patient, share his account.
Palestine Action Policing guidance suggests protesters wrongly arrested:
A previously unseen counter-terror police document clarifies how demonstrators should be treated. We are publishing it for the first time.

Text reads: "Cooper suggested the U.K.’s focus is on French police, rather than pushback powers for the U.K. Border Force. “You’re seeing those boats set off. Once they’re in the water, then the previous rules have meant that the French police have not been able to actually take action. We need that to happen. That’s been agreed in principle. We need to see that in force,” she said. However, she declined to directly criticize the idea of pushback, which opponents argue could cause more migrants to drown in the Channel."
Deeply worrying to see the Foreign Secretary demand more "force" on our border, and support dangerous 'pushbacks' which make crossing attempts more deadly.
State violence on the border already costs lives. We need to stop the deaths, not incite more violence.
By writing letters, signing petitions and sharing stories, you can make change happen. People have been freed, achieved justice, and have felt the solidarity from others around the world through difficult periods of their lives.
