On a lighter note, we'd briefly like to blow our own trumpet!

Big thx to all our friends, partners + neighbrs who recently celebrated with us. We love you!

Here's to another 10 yrs of organising welcome!

We know this to be the case from our own first-hand experience.

It's a cruel, shoddy, and counterproductive policy, that knowingly increases the risks of exploitation and street homelessness.

How did we get here?
The government’s decision to halve the time limit for refugees to leave Home Office accommodation is driving people into homelessness and exploitation, according to migrant rights campaigners and homelessness charities

By me, for @theleaduk.bsky.social national.thelead.uk/p/new-asylum...
New asylum policies making homeless refugees “targets for the far right”
Labour’s abrupt return to the 28-day move-on period is pushing vulnerable people into rough sleeping and exposing them to fraud and abuse.

We have co-signed this joint letter to the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood with Haringey Council and Haringey Multi-Faith Forum.

Her recent proposals on asylum and immigration are recklessly cruel, counterproductive, and unworkable.

Haringey is a Welcome Borough and we reject the politics of hate.

Labour's anti-asylum policies are already fundamentally inhumane and discriminatory. Applying them retrospectively is pure cruelty though. It serves absolutely no purpose. Meanwhile it will increase the costs and bureaucracy of an already dysfunctional Home Office.

Today is the 4th anniversary of the worst ever tragedy in the Channel.

At least 27 men, women & children drowned in the freezing water, & 4 more have never been found.

Since then, neither we nor the French have done a thing to offer people in this situation with real solutions.

If the system worked properly and fairly, this man would have been recognised years ago, been able to bring his family here and be a British citizen. Instead, he now faces being caught up in the Home Secretary's plans to switch refugees into what seems to be a minimum 20 year route to settlement.

While headlines focus on how many people claim asylum in the UK, there's one number that's not even officially counted:

The number of people who die while trying to seek sanctuary here.

We know our policies kill people. Their deaths must not be ignored.
