Absorb this headline. Then commit to boycotting the UAE. Pressure your government to sanction the UAE and RSF and to do everything possible to support the aid effort. And donate to Sudan if you have the means. A list of worthy causes below:

What is often ignored in analysis of channel crossings is the correlation between harsher border policies and increased risks. Use of larger, more unstable, boats directly contributing to greater loss of life, for example correlates with the ban on selling smaller more stable boats in Calais. 1/

Worsens integration in both directions. Makes it impossible for newcomers to settle and build a proper life. And encourages everyone else to see and treat them as interlopers.
The basic problem with the temporary refugee status policy - especially one lasting up to 20 years - is it leads to very few removals (based on Denmark's experience) but does significantly worsen integration.

Fighting a ghost while simultaneously feeding it. Till it haunts him out of office.
Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics.
He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist

none of these people are "hard" they're the softest losers around who like to posture by going after the targets least able to defend themselves, this is literally the schoolyard bully who wanted to be considered a badass because he spent the lunch break torturing butterflies
Your regular reminder that there is absolutely nothing "hard" or "tough" about targeting the poorest, most vulnerable, and least able to defend themselves groups of people on the entire planet

Main "pull factor" for UK is family ties. That doesn't change no matter how harsh your policies. It definitely isn't that the UK is "generous", France et al provide far higher levels of support. Not only that though, but most people seeking asylum don't know the laws in the country they seek it in.

Bold move to start with three countries which have massive human rights issues. When you claim to be a "progressive government" and then directly copy Trump I am definitely going to call bullshit on your "progressive" claims.

This - and a million stories like it - is why it infuriates me to be instructed to reach some mythical middle. Right and wrong is an on/off switch and you either repudiate vile acts of racism or you are part of making them more acceptable.

A number of people laughing at us today as we marched for Sudan. With Palestine I kind of get it because we've been relentlessly painted as antisemites. But what's funny about the massacre in El Fasher, widespread rape, blood and piles of bodies visible from space? What's wrong with people?

Rather than shipping them off to army barracks all over the country, it's time to let asylum seekers work.

Rachel Reeves choosing to abolish the two-child benefit cap only when politically expedient shows everything wrong with her and this government.
AOC recently said of SNAP and ACA benefits in the US:
"This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. "
The same applies here.

This has always been true, and will always be true. No child should ever be penalised because they're in a bigger family through no fault of their own. Yet not only did Reeves support this practice, she used maximum pressure to force other Labour MPs to support it.
