Oh dear Lord Hanson of @teamlabouruk.bsky.social the small boats isn’t another form of #humantrafficking. It’s smuggling. This explainer from the Home Office hopefully clarifies. Definitions really matter. www.theyworkforyou.com/wrans/?id=20...

Baroness Hamwee asked the UK Gov how many victims of #humantrafficking referred to the National Referral Mechanism received a positive conclusive grounds decision. The answer shows the impact of the Nationality and Borders Act and the Illegal Migration Act. www.theyworkforyou.com/wrans/?id=20...

There is just something wonderful about John Crace’s writing. This week’s digest flows from poignancy to laugh out loud. This line though got me as I too have that paw print: “As it is, I only have his paw print for company.” @mrjohncrace.bsky.social Don’t wait too long. We lasted 3 months

Interesting speech in Parliament by @alpinkerton.bsky.social of the @libdems.org.uk party on immigration. Regardless of party, once again a politician who uses the term trafficking when talking about smuggling 😔 Hope this infographic informs you Al for the future.

I was given this biscuit by a Ukrainian police officer over two years ago who is working to combat #humantrafficking caused by Putin’s illegal invasion. I told him I wouldn’t eat it until Ukraine was free again. Today is the 3rd anniversary of the war. #SlavaUkraini
