Children bear the brunt of spousal visa rules in Britain. For the first time their voices have been heard and acknowledged in the MAC review into family immigration policy in the U.K. We are calling on the Labour government to follow the advice laid out in the review and put families 1st again.
We also want to thank @wearecoram.bsky.social for the child-centred interviews they conducted on our behalf which were submitted to the MAC and we hope informed their findings related to the negative impacts on them, often the biggest (and most hidden) victims of this policy. youtu.be/y6WGZ4jOdxE

The Migration Advisory Committee report has criticised Tory spousal immigration policy calling it “illogical” in parts. It also lays bare the devastating impact the current system is having on families, especially the mental health of British children. Incredible work by MAC and @rfuk.bsky.social
Today is a pivotal day for bi-national couples and families: for the first time people on the spouse/partner visa route were listened to by a Committee that wanted to learn what life is really like when you want to live in the UK and were moved by what we read in the report #FamiliesBelongTogether🧵

‘High tax could mean higher rates of happiness, which is why I’m happy to pay more’
The fuss being made about 0.3 per cent of millionaires leaving the country if a wealth tax was introduced, while we’re facing the reality of 30 per cent of doctors considering leaving in the next year...

The idea of native invasive species didn’t really register with me until last year when I was reading about a type of Acacia in Kenya. It’s spread caused by similar factors to those of purple moor grass. The list of things to worry about just grows exponentially these days.

Vast areas of land are now dominated by one species – purple moor-grass – and good luck with seeing a bird or insect there. How do we revive these habitats, asks Guardian columnist George Monbiot
