I’ve been frustrated to see so much of the ongoing story about asylum seekers and the protests against them covered without hearing from those seeking asylum and now being met with hostility and hatred

I set out to speak to those directly affected to find out about the impact this is having 👇

We escaped war and torture but now we feel unsafe in Britain

Special report: Amid protests and rising aggression towards asylum seekers across the country, we spoke to those being targeted

Pretty staggering details in this story. A near-two year trial, 50 tonnes of drugs smuggled into the country - the weight of 30 family cars, 40 tonnes of onions a week to mask the scent of narcotics and up to £7bn in possible earnings.

A shame it came after we moved across the park but the little parade on Dovedale is great. Laura's deli's tinned fish and posh Spanish crisps game really strong

Katie Westwood @katiewestwood.bsky.social · Nov 24

I went to Dovedale Road last week to chat to shopkeepers about the buzz surrounding their row of businesses in Mossley Hill. You can read the story in today’s @liverpoolecho.co.uk 👇
