“They hit us and watched us drown” French police cause dozens of drownings with violent tactics against small boats trying to reach overseas territory Mayotte. Similar tactics are being proposed for the Channel.

This is the inevitable consequence of the escalation of state-sponsored violence at our borders... deaths.

People trapped in the Syrian asylum freeze are going to Parliament on Monday. They need your support.

Just takes a few clicks to send it the letter below to your MP & ask them to attend to support Syrians frozen out of asylum.

The inherent and day-to-day violence of our asylum system is so rarely spoken about. The trauma and violence involved in raids, detentions and deportations is unthinkable.

And successive governments have shared boastful videos of this violence on the eve of local elections.

How to make people care about migrant deaths – and prevent them from happening We will not save lives until we acknowledge those already lost, writes Nadia Whittome, Labour MP for Nottingham East. That means confronting the number of deaths in our asylum system – and recording t...

Major law change demanded to shed light on Channel and asylum deaths MPs have called for the Home Office to have a legal duty to announce the number of deaths in the asylum system and in the Channel during small boat crossings

🗣 "Speaking the names and honouring the memories of those who die is a vital way to bring back some humanity to the conversation about asylum."

Sudan facing worst displacement crisis in the world says UNHCR Two years since the beginning of a civil war in Sudan, UNHCR said that it has become "the world's most damaging displacement crisis, happening amid the worst humanitarian funding situation in decades"...

And yet - Sudanese men and boys make up the highest proportion of people criminalised at our border.

Incredibly grateful to @mrnishkumar.bsky.social @cocobyname.bsky.social and the @podsavetheuk.crooked.com team for having me on to talk about the harms of the new #BordersBill - the latest #AntiRefugeeLaws that will further punish rather than protect people seeking safety.

When Cooper says 'we've strengthened the powers against refugees claiming citizenship' she means... well that ones true actually, it's just morally bankrupt.

Watching the #BorderSecurity Bill second reading... more hostile anti-refugee legislation... and the House of Commons is half empty!

Where is everyone!?

Happy to make political hay out of demonising migrants but not even show up to the debate on their future.

Cowardice.

Sweden searches for answers after country's deadliest shooting Police say the motive of the shooter, who killed 10 people on Tuesday, remains unknown.

This is where the anti-migrant rhetoric that Labour have been indulging in for (incorrectly) assumed electoral gains.

Stop playing with fire.

The Government could end deaths in the channel today with safe routes for people to seek asylum. Instead, today’s Borders Bill will cost yet more lives.

It’s time to #FightForAsylumRights and show the Government that the public won’t stand by as they make the same deadly mistakes.
