Hey Keir Starmer, get the memo?

We’ve delivered thousands of messages to Number 10 from our supporters, with the help of some digi-vans!

People are fed up with politicians choosing failed policies and scapegoating over investing in all communities. Time for real change.

A delivery truck with the slogan "STOP SCAPEGOATING. START FIXING BRITAIN." drives past Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament on a sunny day.

Four activists wearing Refugee Action t-shirts stand in front of 10 Downing Street, holding signs that support refugee rights in the UK.

A truck displaying a digital billboard with the message "Everyone needs a safe place to live. Build homes and stop scapegoating migrants." from James, Spen Valley, parked in front the Home Office.

Person standing in front of 10 Downing Street wearing a T-shirt that reads "SAY IT LOUD SAY IT CLEAR REFUGEES WELCOME HERE," with another person and a security officer in the background.
