Happy solstice - tonight is the longest night.

The light is creeping back in, too slowly to notice it just yet. And maybe, so could the hope.

EU states just advanced their most restrictive migration rules yet.

They want to make it easier for members to swiftly detain and deport rejected asylum seekers.

This has drawn stark criticism from human rights watchdogs.

But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.

Rather than accepting this is a bottom-up, people-driven push, I argue that we must look at those who have the power to shape the agenda and public discourse
