A regular reminder that it is not migrants we need to be angry with, but the billionaires who are siphoning off and accumulating the country's wealth whilst forcing asylum seekers to live in squalor.

Now more than ever, everyone in our communities must come together with care, compassion, and love, to reject the politics of violent division and hate.

The violent attack in Manchester today is abhorrent as well as divisive.

We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community, in Haringey and across the UK, and with all who are frightened and worried.

Our communities must be safe, welcoming, and inclusive places for all who live in them.

People recognised as refugees fleeing persecution & granted the right to live in the UK to be denied the right to be joined safely by their spouse & children.

This Labour govt is a moral void, a stinking darkness, an empty hollow of cowardice & contempt. #r4today www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

HANE ESTATE AGENTS RUN OFF SCARED 🚩🐔
Our member requested a viewing for a property through Hane Estate Agents. She was told the landlord doesn't accept universal credit claimants. This is discrimination, and we won't stand for it.

Far from clear exactly how widespread this issue with taxis for asylum seekers really is, but this revelation & the response to it help to demonstrate the truth: that no-one with any power over the immigration system understands what’s going on, & no-one who understands it has any influence over it

Urgent review ordered into asylum seeker taxi costs

Asylum seekers are travelling long distances for appointments, with one telling the BBC his journey to visit a GP cost the Home Office £600.

Stop Trump Coalition @ukstoptrump.bsky.social · 24d

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

This piece is exactly right (and much better than the weirdly passive headline). We can and must all push back against the forward march of the fascists, but the complete silence of the government and its failure to stand up to them is a pathetic betrayal and abandonment of all of us
